Minimum Distance of a Triangle Vertices for Face Classification
Authors: , ,
Abstract: This paper proposes a novel method for face classification based on principal component analysis (PCA) of a grayscale image. The proposed method classifies image by using the minimum distance between vertices of a triangle and the tested image. Vertices of a triangle are created from three distinct points obtained from the combination of a number of images per class. The recognition rate compares the proposed method with the nearest feature line (NFL), the shortest feature line segment (SFLS), the restricted nearest feature line with ellipse (RNFLE), and the shortest distance with the centroid of the triangle (SDC). The experimental results on the Grimace and faces94 databases show that the proposed method has recognition rate over 90%. For Grimace database, the proposed algorithm outperforms the other methods.
