Abstract
This paper describes an approach for the problem of face pose
discrimination using support vector machines (SVM). Face pose
discrimination means that one can label the face image as one of several
known poses. Face images are drawn from the standard FERET database. The
training set consists of 150 images equally distributed among frontal,
approximately 33.75° rotated left and right poses, respectively, and
the test set consists of 450 images again equally distributed among the
three different types of poses. SVM achieved perfect
accuracy-100%-discriminating between the three possible face poses on
unseen test data, using either polynomials of degree 3 or radial basis
functions (RBF) as kernel approximation functions
