Abstract

We present a system for recognizing human faces from single images out of a large database containing one image per person. Faces are represented by labeled graphs, based on a Gabor wavelet transform. Image graphs of new faces are extracted by an elastic graph matching process and can be compared by a simple similarity function. The system differs from the preceding one [1] in three respects. Phase information is used for accurate node positioning. Object-adapted graphs are used to handle large rotations in depth. Image graph extraction is based on a novel data structure, the bunch graph, which is constructed from a small set of sample image graphs.

Elastic shape-texture matching for human face recognition

In this paper, a novel, elastic, shape-texture matching method, namely ESTM, for human face recognition is proposed. In our approach, both the shape and the texture information are used to compare two faces without establishing any precise pixel-wise ...
Generalized elastic graph matching for face recognition

Elastic graph matching (EGM) is a well-known approach in face recognition area for the robust face recognition to a rotation in depth and facial expression change. We extended the conventional EGM to the generalized EGM (G-EGM), which is afford to ...
