Zhou, M: Gabor-Boosting Face Recognition

In the past decade, face recognition has received much attention by both the commercial and public sectors in biometrics. This book describes a highly accurate appearance-based approach for face recognition - Gabor-Boosting.The strong performance of the Gabor-Boosting face recognition is highlighted by combining three key leading edge techniques - Gabor wavelet transform, AdaBoost, Support Vector Machine (SVM). The Gabor wavelet transform is used to extract features which describe texture variations of human faces. The AdaBoost algorithm is use ...
