Improved recognition performance with LDA and ICA using vertically and horizontally partitioned facial images
Önsen Toygar, Adnan Acan · 2005
Abstract: A comparative recognition performance of LDA- and ICA-based multiple classifier systems for face recognition is presented using vertically and horizontally partitioned facial images. A face image is partitioned into several vertical and horizontal segments and a multiple classifier based divide-and-conquer approach is used to combine these segments to recognize the whole face. The experiments demonstrate that vertical and horizontal partitioning result in a better recognition performance compared to the performance results of the holistic methods.
