Fusing local binary pattern and LNMF of face recognition
Mingwu Ren · Computer Engineering and Applications Journal · 2013
A method of face recognition based on Local Binary Pattern(LBP)and Local Non-negative Matrix Factorization(LNMF)is proposed.LBP operator is used to extract the LBP Histogram Sequence(LBPHS)from block face images.According to the contribution of each face block,weight LBP Histogram Sequence(Weight LBPHS)is obtained.LNMF is applied to weight LBPHS for extracting non-negative subspace and the corresponding coefficient matrices.Nearest neighbor principle is utilized in face recognition.The simulation experiments illustrate that this method has better recognition rate on the ORL and YALE face database.
