Abstract

In this paper, a novel algorithm for face recognition based on Local Graph Structure (LGS) has been proposed. The features of local graph structures are extracted from the texture in a local graph neighborhood then it's forwarded to the classifier for recognition. The idea of LGS comes from dominating set points for a graph of the image. The experiments results on ORL face database images demonstrated the effectiveness of the proposed method. The advantages of LGS, very simple, fast and can be easily applied in many fields, such as biometrics, pattern recognition, and robotics as preprocessing.
