Face recognition using DT-CWT and LBP features

Biometric technology is considered as more effective technology for identification and recognition of individuals in most secure environments. Face recognition is a technique based on physiological biometric characteristics. In this paper, we propose Face Recognition using DT-CWT and LBP Features (FRDL) for different databases. The original face image is resized to uniform dimensions of 2

× 2

. The five levels Dual-Tree Complex Wavelet Transform (DT-CWT) is applied on face image to obtain DT-CWT coefficients. The matrix of DT-CWT coefficients is segmented in to 3×3 matrixes. The Local Binary Pattern (LBP) algorithm is applied on each 3×3 matrix to get final features. The Euclidean Distance (ED) is used to compare features of test face image with data base images. It is observed that the values of False Rejection Rate (FRR), False Acceptance Rate (FAR) and Total Success Rate (TSR) are better in the proposed model compare to existing method.
