Abstract

Gabor filters can extract multi-orientation and multiscale features from face images. Researchers have designed different ways to use the magnitude of the filtered results for face recognition: Gabor Fisher classifier exploited only the magnitude information of Gabor magnitude pictures (GMPs); Local Gabor Binary Pattern uses only the gradient information. In this paper, we regard GMPs as smooth surfaces. By completely describing the shape of GMPs, we get a face representation method called Gabor Surface Feature (GSF). First, we compute the magnitude, 1stand 2ndderivatives of GMPs, then binarize them and transform them into decimal values. Finally we construct joint histograms and use subspace methods for classification. Experiments on FERET, ORL and FRGC 1.0.4 database show the effectiveness of GSF.
