Abstract

This paper proposed a novel algorithm named 2D Gabor Wavelets Window (GWW) method. The GWW scans the image top left to bottom right to extract the local feature vectors (LFVs). A parametric feature vector is derived by downsampling and concatenating these LFVs for face representation and recognition. Compared with the Gabor Wavelets representation of the whole image, the total cost is reduced by maximum of 39% whilst the performance achieved better than the conventional PCA method when experimented on both the ORL and XM2VTSDB databases without any preprocessing.
