A Robust Face Representation Method for Face Recognition

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this paper, a robust face representation method based on multiple gradient orientations for face recognition is proposed. We introduce multiple gradient orientations and compute multiple orientation images which display different spatial locality and orientation properties. Each orientation image is normalized using the “z-score” method, and all normalized vectors are concatenated into an augmented feature vector. The dimensionality of the augmented feature vector is reduced by linear discriminant analysis to yield a low-dimensional feature vector. Experimental results show that our method achieves state-of-the-art performance for difficult problems such as illumination and occlusion-robust face recognition.
