Abstract

In this paper we emphasize the relevance of low-complexity algorithms for biometric recognition and we present to examples with special emphasis on face recognition. Our face recognition application has been implemented on a low-cost fixed point processor and we have evaluated that with 169 integer coefficients per face we achieve better identification results (92%) than the classical eigenfaces approach (86.5%), and close to the DCT (92.5%) with a reduced computational cost.
