Jianhua Ye, Liu Zheng-guang · Jisuanji gongcheng · 2009
【Abstract】This paper presents a method of multi-modal face recognition which combines Local Binary Pattern(LBP) with Fisherfaces. LBP descriptor is used to extract the LBP Histogram Sequence(LBPHS) from grey-level and depth face images. The corresponding linear subspaces are constructed by Fisherfaces respectively. The cosine similarity is adopted as the similarity metric of projected vectors. Weighted sum rule is utilized to fuse 2D and 3D information. The experimental results on FRGC database indicate that the Equal Error Rate(EER) of the proposed method is only 0.33%, which is much lower than fusion of LBPHS with histogram intersection and that of Fisherfaces with cosine similarity.
