A New Face Decomposition for Face Detection using SVM Classifier
Abstract
Face detection is a crucial step in the process of Biometric systems. The aim of this work is to study some methods of feature extraction for face detection using Local Discrete Cosine Transform named LDCT, Global Discrete Cosine Transform named GDCT and Discrete Wavelet Transform called DWT using three different levels (2, 3 and 4), we have used each one separately and we have combined both of them to evaluate the performance of the proposed method, then comparison between these methods will be exposed. Our new proposed method aims to select feature from the extracted ones to reduce dimensionality, we have proceeded to select the significant features in face, like eyes mouth and nose. Finally, we applied Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier to discriminate between two classes, faces and non-faces. We present experimental results applied on MIT face database to
demonstrate the effectiveness of the novel approach in terms of accuracy and running time.

We have provided the online access of all issues and papers to the indexing agencies (as given on journal web site). It’s depend on indexing agencies when, how and what manner they can index or not. Hence, we like to inform that on the basis of earlier indexing, we can’t predict the today or future indexing policy of third party (i.e. indexing agencies) as they have right to discontinue any journal at any time without prior information to the journal. So, please neither sends any question nor expects any answer from us on the behalf of third party i.e. indexing agencies.Hence, we will not issue any certificate or letter for indexing issue. Our role is just to provide the online access to them. So we do properly this and one can visit indexing agencies website to get the authentic information.
