Gabor jets are a set of filters that are used to extract the local frequency information from the face images. These filters are generally linear filter with impulse responses defined by a harmonic function and a Gaussian function. The Fourier transform of a Gabor filter’s impulse response is the convolution of the Fourier transform of the harmonic function and the Fourier transform of the Gaussian function.
