Face recognizing method and apparatus using dimensional space transformation of Gabor filtering response

摘要

The present invention discloses a face recognition method and apparatus using dimensional spatial transformation of Gabor filtering response values. In the face recognition method according to the present invention, in order to increase face recognition performance and reduce the amount of database, first, Gabor filter response values obtained from the feature points of the face of the training images to be referred to for face recognition are dimensionally spaced. The model is mapped to a new dimensional space created through the transformation process, and a face model database is created by storing coordinate values for each training image in the new dimensional space. Next, for the test image to perform face recognition, the Gabor filter response values obtained from the feature points of the face are moved to a new dimensional space, and then similar faces for the test image are identified by referring to the face model database. .
