Fusion of Gabor and local tangent space alignment for face recognition
Luo Si Wei · Computer Engineering and Applications Journal · 2012
Using the Gabor wavelet to extract the face features has the problems of high dimensions and complex calculations. To solve the problems, Partitional Local Tangent Space Alignmen(tPLTSA)is introduced as a method to operate on Gabor Magnitude Features(GMF)to extract the submanifolds. In the same time PCA and LDA are introduced in the method to find the best projection subplace in which the nearest distance classifier is used for classification. Experiments with ORL database show that the approach is quite effective. This method also has good robustness with the changes of light and expression because of using gabor wavelet.
