An Efficient Pose Invariant Face Recognition System

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Advances in Intelligent and Soft Computing ((AINSC,volume 131))

Abstract

This paper proposes an efficient face recognition system which is invariant to pose. It presents a transformation to generate features of the frontal face from a given posed image of a subject. The proposed system has been tested on three databases viz. IITK, FERET and CMU-PIE. It has been observed that it performs better than the existing well known system.
