Study of Face Feature Extraction and Recognition Techniques Based on Wavelet Analysis

Abstract

Face recognition is a research hotspot of pattern recognition and artificial intelligence. This paper presents a method of extract face feature based on Wavelet. First, reduce vector dimension by wavelet decomposition of the image, second, train the multi class support vector machine (SVM) model by face feature vector extracted and make face recognition finally. The experiments on ORL face image database of the algorithm shows the superiority of the proposed algorithm in terms of recognition performance.
