Title
Face recognition with local gabor textons
Abstract
This paper proposes a novel face representation and recognition method based on local Gabor textons. Textons, defined as a vocabulary of local characteristic features, are a good description of the perceptually distinguishable micro-structures on objects. In this paper, we incorporate the advantages of Gabor feature and textons strategy together to form Gabor textons. And for the specificity of face images, we propose local Gabor textons (LGT) to portray faces more precisely and eficiently. The local Gabor textons histogram sequence is then utilized for face representation and a weighted histogram sequence matching mechanism is introduced for face recognition. Preliminary experiments on FERET database show promising results of the proposed method.
