Abstract

A novel Support Vector Machine (SVM) face recognition method using optimized Gabor features is presented in this paper. 200 Gabor features are first selected by a boosting algorithm, which are then combined with SVM to build a two-class based face recognition system. While computation and memory cost of the Gabor feature extraction process has been significantly reduced, our method has achieved the same accuracy as a Gabor feature and Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) based multi-class system.
