Abstract

In this paper, we conduct a series of experiments to demonstrate the translation invariant property of a set of discrete wavelet features in a face graph. Using local-area power spectrum estimation based on discrete wavelet transform, we compute a feature vector that possesses both an efficient space-frequency structure and the translation invariant property.
