Abstract

Two-dimensional singular value decomposition (2DSVD) is latterly presented attempt to preserve the local nature of 2D face images, and at same time alleviate the computational complexity in standard singular value decomposition (1DSVD). Human face symmetry is also a profitable natural property of face images and allowed better feature extraction capability in face recognition. This paper introduces new method for face recognition coined as symmetry based two-dimensional singular value decomposition (S2DSVD), which relies on the strengths of both 2DSVD and human face symmetry. The proposed method offers two significant advantages over 2DSVD: improves the stability of feature extraction, and increases the valuable discriminative information, hence raising recognition accuracy. S2DSVD is compared to both 1DSVD and 2DSVD on two well-known databases. Experimental results show improvement in recognition accuracy over 2DSVD and superior to 1DSVD.
