Abstract

Facial analysis based on local regions / blocks usually outperforms holistic approaches because it is less sensitive to local deformations and occlusions. Moreover, modeling local features enables us to avoid the problem of high dimensionality of feature space. In this paper, we model the local face blocks with Gabor features and project them into a discriminant identity space. The similarity score of a face pair is determined by fusion of the local classifiers. To acquire complementary information in different scales of face images, we integrate the local decisions from various image resolutions. The proposed multi-resolution block based face verification system is evaluated on the experiment 4 of Face Recognition Grand Challenge (FRGC) version 2.0. We obtained 92.5% verification rate @ 0.1% FAR, which is the highest performance reported on this experiment so far in the literature.
