Thai Face Cartoon Detection and Recognition Using Eigenface Model

Abstract:

In this paper, an effective method for Thai face cartoon detection and recognition is used based on haar like feature and eigenface model. The basic idea of this method is to detection and recognition a cartoon Thai from the database based on a cartoon drawn by an artist. This method consists of three steps. We first manually, haar like feature is applied for Thai face cartoon detection. Second, those faces are extracted feature using eigenface. Final, those features are recognized using Euclidean distance. For experimental result, detection rate of 95% and recognition rate of 97%.
