COMBINATION OF FUZZY AND SYMBOLIC REPRESENTATION OF EDGE LET FEATURES FOR FACE RECOGNITION: A NOVEL INTEGRATED APPROACH

Abstract

This paper presents a new combined Fuzzy and Symbolic Representation of EdgeLet Features for Face Recognitionsystem is presented. Face feature edge let features are proposed in the paper, are incorporated in the feature vector used to design the pattern recognition system. Face feature lines are considered as new features based on previous studies related to face recognition tasks on newborns. A scheme of identification of the objects based on the proposed features extraction and representation model is also designed. The performance of the face recognition system turned out to be 92% of correct classification tested on the ORL and Yale databases.
