Co-Occurrence Matrix And Its Statistical Features As A New Approach For Face Recognition, Alaa Eleyan, Hasan Demirel Jan 2011

Co-Occurrence Matrix And Its Statistical Features As A New Approach For Face Recognition, Alaa Eleyan, Hasan Demirel

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

In this paper, a new face recognition technique is introduced based on the gray-level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM). GLCM represents the distributions of the intensities and the information about relative positions of neighboring pixels of an image. We proposed two methods to extract feature vectors using GLCM for face classification. The first method extracts the well-known Haralick features from the GLCM, and the second method directly uses GLCM by converting the matrix into a vector that can be used in the classification process. The results demonstrate that the second method, which uses GLCM directly, is superior to the first method that …


An Algorithm To Minimize Within-Class Scatter And To Reduce Common Matrix Dimension For Image Recognition, Ümi̇t Çi̇ğdem Turhal, Alpaslan Duysak Jan 2011

An Algorithm To Minimize Within-Class Scatter And To Reduce Common Matrix Dimension For Image Recognition, Ümi̇t Çi̇ğdem Turhal, Alpaslan Duysak

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

In this paper, a new algorithm using 2DPCA and Gram-Schmidt Orthogonalization Procedure for recognition of face images is proposed. The algorithm consists of two parts. In the first part, a common feature matrix is obtained; and in the second part, the dimension of the common feature matrix is reduced. Resulting common feature matrix with reduced dimension is used for face recognition. Column and row covariance matrices are obtained by applying 2DPCA on the column and row vectors of images, respectively. The algorithm then applies eigenvalue-eigenvector decomposition to each of these two covariance matrices. Total scatter maximization is achieved taking the …
