Abstract

We propose a method to construct composite feature vector based on discriminant analysis for face recognition. For this, we first extract the holistic- and local-features from whole face images and local images, which consist of the discriminant pixels, by using a discriminant feature extraction method. In order to utilize both advantages of holistic- and local-features, we evaluate the amount of the discriminative information in each feature and then construct a composite feature vector with only the features that contain a large amount of discriminative information. The experimental results for the FERET, CMU-PIE and Yale B databases show that the proposed composite feature vector has improvement of face recognition performance.
