Abstract

In this paper, we investigate different partitioning schemes for local appearance-based face recognition. Five different salient region-based partitioning approaches are analyzed and they are compared to a generic partitioning scheme. Extensive experiments have been conducted on the AR, CMU PIE, FRGC, Yale B, and Extend Yale B face databases. The experimental results show that generic partitioning provides better performance than salient region-based partitioning schemes.
