In this work, we present a novel approach for face recognition which use boosted statistical local Gabor feature based classifiers. Firstly, two Gabor parts, real part and imaginary part, are extracted for each pixel of face images. The two parts are transformed into two kinds of Gabor features, magnitude feature and phase feature. 40 magnitude Gaborfaces and 40 phase Gaborfaces are generated for each face image by convoluting face images with five scales and eight orientations Gabor filters. Then these Gaborfaces are scanned with a sub-window from which the quantified Gabor features histograms are extracted representing efficiently the face image. The multi-class problem of face recognition is transformed into a two-class one of intra-and extra-class classification using intra-personal and extra-personal images, as in [5]. The intra/extra features are constructed based on these histograms of two different face images with Chi square statistic as dissimilarity measure. A strong classifier is learned using boosting examples, similar to the way in face detection framework [10]. Experiments on FERET database show good results comparable to the best one reported in literature [6].
