Recognizing faces with normalized local Gabor features and Spiking Neuron Patterns

作者:

Highlights:

• We reduce the dimension of local Gabor features into Spiking Neuron Patterns (SNP).

• The reduced Gabor features called LGFV//LN//SNP are classified using soft kNN classifier.

• SNP does not require projection vector and is more efficient than the original representation.

• SNP improves the face recognition accuracy of local Gabor features.

• The results show that our method is robust against numerous forms of variations.
