Face Recognition by Neural Networks based on Gabor filters and Random Projection

Hamid OUANAN, Mohammed OUANAN, Brahim AKSASSE

Abstract


This article is part of the context of biometrics whose objective is the recognition of people through their faces. We propose an approach based on the texture characteristics, using the Gabor filters (GF), specifically; we construct a vector descriptor combining the amplitude and the phase of the convolution of the face image with a family of Gabor filters characterized by different orientations and resolutions. Moreover, to reduce the dimensionality of the descriptor vector, we make use of Random Projection (RP). Finally Multi-layer perceptron (MLP) based Back Propagation Neural Network (BPNN) has been used for classification.

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. Also: DOI is paid service which provided by a third party. We never mentioned that we go for this for our any journal. However, journal have no objection if author go directly for this paid DOI service.
