Face recognition using scale-adaptive directional and textural features

作者:

Highlights:

• We propose a face descriptor based on a combination of directional and textural features.

• Discriminative and nearly illumination invariant directional features are introduced.

• Pyramid partitioning is used to capture local as well as holistic features.

• Experiments performed on six standard face datasets shows robustness of proposed descriptor.

• Algorithm achieves nearly perfect recognition rate on a number of standard face datasets.
