This paper is based on a combination of the principal component analysis (PCA), eigenface and support vector machines. Using N-fold method and with respect to the value of N, any person’s face images are divided into two sections. As a result, vectors of training features and test features are obtain ed. Classification precision and accuracy was examined with three different types of kernel and...

In this paper, a novel Patch Geodesic Derivative Pattern (PGDP) describing the texture map of a face through its shape data is proposed. Geodesic adjusted textures are encoded into derivative patterns for similarity measurement between two 3D images with different pose and expression variations. An extensive experimental investigation is conducted using the publicly available Bosphorus and BU-3...

Sparse coding is an unsupervised method which learns a set of over-complete bases to represent data such as image and video. Sparse coding has increasing attraction for image classification applications in recent years. But in the cases where we have some similar images from different classes, such as face recognition applications, different images may be classified into the same class, and hen...
