Yanwei Pang, Yuan Yuan, Xuelong Li · IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems for Video Technology · 2008
This paper presents a new method for human face recognition by utilizing Gabor-based region covariance matrices as face descriptors. Both pixel locations and Gabor coefficients are employed to form the covariance matrices. Experimental results demonstrate the advantages of this proposed method.
