Abstract

A novel discriminative face representation derived by the Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) of multi-scale local binary pattern histograms is proposed for face recognition. The face image is first partitioned into several non-overlapping regions. In each region, multi-scale local binary uniform pattern histograms1 are extracted and concatenated into a regional feature. The features are then projected on the LDA space to be used as a discriminative facial descriptor. The method is implemented and tested in face identification on the standard Feret database and in face verification on the XM2VTS database with very promising results.
