Ensemble of Deep Convolutional Neural Networks With Gabor Face Representations for Face Recognition

Most DCNN-based FR approaches typically employ grayscale or RGB color images as input representations of DCNN architectures. However, other effective face representation methods have been developed and incorporated into current practical FR systems. In light of this fact, the focus of our study is to employ Gabor face representations in the design of DCNN-based FR frameworks to improve FR performance. To this end, we develop a novel “Gabor DCNN...
