Face Recognition Based on Fractional Gaussian Derivatives
Local photometric descriptors computed for interest regions have proven to be very successful in applications such as wide baseline matching, object recognition, texture recognition, image retrieval, robot localization, video data mining, building panoramas, and recognition of object categories. They are distinctive, robust to occlusion, and do not require segmentation. Recent work has concentrated on making these descriptors invariant to image transformations. The idea is to detect image regions covariant to a class of transformations, which are then used as support regions to compute invariant descriptors.
The fractional gaussian derivative can be computed in a number of ways, one such way is in the frequency domain. Denoting the Fourier transform of the function f(x) as F(w), it is straight-forward to show that the Fourier transform of the nth-order derivative, f(n)(x), is (jw)^n*F(w), for any integer order n. Of course, there is no reason why n must be an integer, n can be any real (or complex) number – hence the fractional derivative.
The code has been tested with AT&T database achieving an excellent recognition rate of 99.60% (40 classes, 5 training images and 5 test images for each class, hence there are 200 training images and 200 test images in total randomly selected and no overlap exists between the training and test images).
