Gabor Features Based Method Using HDR (G-HDR) for Multiview Face Recognition

This paper introduces a novel algorithm named G-HDR, which is a Gabor features based method using Hierarchical Discriminant Regression (HDR) for multiview face recognition Gabor features help to eliminate the influences to faces such as changes in illumination directions and expressions; Modified HDR tree help to get a more precise classify tree to realize the coarse-to-fine retrieval process The most challenging things in face recognition are the illumination variation problem and the pose variation problem The goal of Our G-HDR is to overcome both difficulties We conducted experiments on the UMIST database and Volker Blanz's database and got good results.
