Face recognition using Som Neural Network with Ddct facial feature extraction techniques
Swati Jadon, Mahendra Kumar, Yogesh Rathi · 2015
This paper deals with 4 different techniques for feature extraction of image. Face detection is a necessary first-step in face recognition systems, with the purpose of localizing and extracting the face region from the background. The Self-Organizing Map (SOM) Neural Network has been used for training of database and simulation of FR system. The developed algorithm for the face recognition system formulates an image-based approach, using Directional discrete cosine transform (DDCT), discrete wavelet transform (DWT), discrete cosine transform (DCT) and Sobel edge detection, simulated in MATLAB. Simulation results are very promising.
