Hidden Markov models for face recognition

The work presented in this paper focuses on the use of hidden Markov models for face recognition. A new method based on the extraction of 2D-DCT feature vectors is described, and the recognition results are compared with other face recognition approaches. The method introduced reduces significantly the computational complexity of previous HMM-based face recognition system, while preserving the same recognition rate.
