Abstract

A transform domain approach coupled with HiddenMarkov Model (HMM) for face recognition is presented.JPEG kind of strategy is employed to transform input sub-imagefor training HMMs. DCT transformed vectors of faceimages are used to train ergodic HMM and later for recognition.ORL face database of 40 subjects with 10 imagesper subject is used to evaluate the performance of the proposedmethod. 5 images per subject are used for trainingand the rest 5 for recognition. This method has an accuracyof 99.5%. The results, to the best of knowledge of the authors,give the best recognition percentage as compared toany other method reported so far on ORL face database.
