A local multiple patterns feature descriptor for face recognition

Human perception of a signal depends on the ratio of the change of stimulus to the stimulus itself while the change of stimulus to the stimulus itself is usually ignored in hand-crafted feature descriptors. However, it is important for extracting discriminant feature. To address this problem, we firstly develop a local multiple patterns (LMP) feature descriptor based on the Weber's law for feature extraction and face recognition. In LMP, (1) the...
