An Efficient Biogeography Based Face Recognition Algorithm
Daya Sagar Gupta, Lavika Goel, Abhishek Abhishek · 2013
Extracting the optimal features from images is always required in face recognition algorithm to achieve high accuracy.In this paper we have presented an efficient face recognition algorithm based on Biogeography Based Optimization (BBO).First we extract the features using the principal Component Analysis (PCA) after applying gabor filters and then we apply BBO to get the most desirable features.The proposed biogeography based face recognition algorithm is applied to search the most desirable features based on well defined fitness function.Performance analysis is performed using Olivetti Research Laboratory (ORL) face database.Performance results show that biogeography based face recognition algorithm generates better results than the original PCA technique with gabor filters.
