Analysing front view face profiles for face recognition via the Walsh transform

This paper describes the extraction of the facial profile from a frontal view to provide a measure for automatic face recognition. The profile is derived from the intensity projection of the face image and is described using the Walsh power spectrum. Results have demonstrated its potential as a measure for face recognition whilst it remains relatively immune to head movement and to small changes in illumination.
