Recognizing faces with normalized local Gabor features and Spiking Neuron Patterns

Gabor Wavelets (GW) have been extensively used for facial feature representation due to its inherent multi-resolution and multi-orientation characteristics. In this work we extend the work on Local Gabor Feature Vector (LGFV) and propose a new face recognition method called LGFV//LN//SNP, which employs local normalization filter in pre-processing stage. We propose a novel Spiking Neuron Patterns (SNP) as a dimensionality reduction method to...
