Abstract
A computer executed method for supervised facial recognition comprising the operations of preprocessing, feature extraction and recognition. Preprocessing may comprise dividing received face images into several subimages, converting the different face image (or subimage) dimensions into a common dimension and/or converting the datatypes of all of the face images (or subimages) into an appropriate datatype. In feature extraction, 2D DMWT is used to extract information from the face images. Application of the 2D DMWT may be followed by FastICA. FastICA, or, in cases where FastICA is not used, 2D DMWT, may be followed by application of the l-norm and/or eigendecomposition to obtain discriminating and independent features. The resulting independent features are fed into the recognition phase, which may use a neural network, to identify an unknown face image.
