摘要:In this paper we address the problem of face recognition using edge information as independent components. The edge information is obtained by using Laplacian of Gaussian (LoG) and Canny edge detection methods then preprocessing is done by using Principle Component analysis (PCA) before applying the Independent Component Analysis (ICA) algorithm for training of images. The independent components obtained by ICA algorithm are used as feature vectors for classification. The Euclidean distance and Mahalanobis distance classifiers are used for testing of images. The algorithm is tested on two different databases of face images for variation in illumination and facial poses up to 180 degree rotation angle.
