A Hybrid Face Recognition Scheme Using Contour and Gabor Wavelet

A face recognition system based on the hybrid approach is proposed in this paper. We have combined both the global and local features of a face using Gabor wavelet transform and a face contour. Gabor transform helps in extracting the features of a face, that is, the position of eyes, tip of the nose, and the corner of the mouth, whereas a face contour helps to extract the structure of a face. A combination of these techniques helps to extract the best features.
