Face recognition approach based on two-dimensional subspace analysis and PNN

In this paper, we present an new approach to face recognition based on the combination of feature extraction methods, such as two-dimensional DWT-2DPCA and DWT-2DLDA, with a probabilistic neural networks. The technique 2D-DWT is used to eliminate the illumination, noise and redundancy of a face in order to reduce calculations of the probabilistic neural network operations.
