Face recognition is used to identity a person effectively and most effective physiological biometric trait. In this paper, we propose sorting pixels-based face recognition using Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) and statistical features. The novel concept of sorting pixel values in ascending order is introduced and segmented into two parts viz., Low Pixel Values (LPV) and High Pixel Values (HPV). The DWT is applied on LPV matrix to generate low and high frequency bands such as LL, LH, HL and HH. The low frequency LL band is considered for features as the coefficient values are enhanced compared to original image pixel values and also reduction in dimensionality. The statistical measure is applied on HPV to compute mean, median, mode, maximum and standard deviation features. The features of LL band and statistical features are concatenated to obtain final features. The Artificial Neural Network (ANN) is used as classifier to recognize human beings. It is perceived that the performance of the proposed method is enhanced compared with the existing methods.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
