ABSTRACT:
A face recognition system and method project an input face image and a set of reference face images from an input space to a high dimensional feature space in order to obtain more representative features of the face images. The Kernel Fisherfaces of the input face image and the reference face images are calculated, and are used to project the input face image and the reference face images to a face image space lower in dimension than the input space and the high dimensional feature space. The input face image and the reference face images are represented as points in the face image space, and the distance between the input face point and each of the reference image points are used to determine whether or not the input face image resembles a particular face image of the reference face images.
