Wavelet-Based Face Recognition Method by Using Support Vector Machine
Yi Liu, Tao Sun, Yang Huang, Yongmi Yang, Xinhong Zhou · 2009
A new method of facial representation proposed for face recognition by support vector machine (SVM). For face representation we have used a five-step multiresolution method, namely the two-dimensional discrete wavelet transform (DWT) is used to transform the faces to a more discriminated space and then use the approximations of subimages in each scale as feature points to classify different faces. The experimental results shown a significant improvement which includes a substantial reduction in error rate and the correct recognition rate is high up to 100%.
