Kruskal-Wallis-Based Computationally Efficient Feature Selection for Face Recognition

الملخص EN

Face recognition in today’s technological world, and face recognition applications attain much more importance.

Most of the existing work used frontal face images to classify face image.

However these techniques fail when applied on real world face images.

The proposed technique effectively extracts the prominent facial features.

Most of the features are redundant and do not contribute to representing face.

In order to eliminate those redundant features, computationally efficient algorithm is used to select the more discriminative face features.

Extracted features are then passed to classification step.

In the classification step, different classifiers are ensemble to enhance the recognition accuracy rate as single classifier is unable to achieve the high accuracy.

Experiments are performed on standard face database images and results are compared with existing techniques.
