This paper introduces an effective face detection method based on log-Gabor filters. First, Information contained in the log-Gabor transformations is analyzed. Next, 5-scale and 8-orientation log-Gabor filters are constructed to extract feature vectors. Then, a three-layer feedforward network is created for feature classification. After training the network, we test 80 samples. From the experimental result, log-Gabor filters based method has comparable detection performance with Gabor filters based method. Therefore, log-Gabor filters can encode the images more efficiently.
