Abstract

Plentiful of local descriptors has been reported based on Local Binary Pattern (LBP). LBP and most of them establishes a uniform coordination among neighbors and center pixel to develop its code. To be precise the meaning full information located in different directions are missed in the earlier research. In addition the magnitude features are minimal used in earlier research. The invented work develop a novel local descriptor for Face Recognition (FR) called Local Tri Directional Pattern (LTDP) in various unconstrained conditions, by eliminating these problems. LTDP captures direction features from 3 × 3 patch based on first order derivatives generated in clockwise, center and anticlockwise directions, for each neighborhood position of the 3 × 3 patch. The generated first order derivatives are then conceived by novel thresholding function to form the tri directional pattern. The tri directional pattern is further split into three binary patterns, which is further transformed into three LTDP codes by weights assignment and summing values. To increase more discriminativity two magnitude features are also proposed and integrated with the previously extracted features. Eventually all five LTDP codes are merged to develop the size of LTDP for single position. Further all the generated histograms are merged to develop LTDP feature size. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Fishers Linear Discriminant Analysis (FLDA) are used for feature compaction and matching is done by Support Vector Machines (SVMs). Results on ORL, GT, EYB and YB illustrates the efficacy of LTDP against the compared methods.
