Abstract

In this paper we propose a low-complexity face verification system based on the Walsh-Hadamard transform. This system can be easily implemented on a fixed point processor and offers a good compromise between computational burden and verification rates. We have evaluated that with 36 integer coefficients per face we achieve better Detection Cost Function (6.05%) than the classical eigenfaces approach (minimum value 6.99% with 126 coefficients), with a smaller number of coefficients.
