Face Recognition Using Multiscale Gabor Wavelet

Lin Huang, Wenjing Zhang · 2007

This paper proposes and analyzes multiscale Gabor wavelet and eigenface method for face recognition. The face images are processed by using one-dimensional (1D) filter masks to extract the Gabor features without two-dimensional (2D) Fourier transform. The results of analysis and experiments show that the computational cost and the storage amount of Gabor features in PGE method are significantly lower than the ones in general 2D Gabor wavelet methods with a comparable recognition rate.
