Face Recognition Using Weighted Modular Principle Component Analysis

TLDR
A method of face recognition using a weighted modular principle component analysis (WMPCA) has a better recognition rate, when compared with conventional PCA, for faces with large variations in expression and illumination.
Abstract
A method of face recognition using a weighted modular principle component analysis (WMPCA) is presented in this paper. The proposed methodology has a better recognition rate, when compared with conventional PCA, for faces with large variations in expression and illumination. The face is divided into horizontal sub-regions such as forehead, eyes, nose and mouth. Then each of them are separately analyzed using PCA. The final decision is taken based on a weighted sum of errors obtained from each sub-region.A method is proposed, to calculate these weights, which is based on the assumption that different regions in a face vary at different rates with expression, pose and illumination.

Face recognition based on eigen features of multi scaled face components and an artificial neural network

TL;DR: The basic idea of the proposed method is to construct facial feature vector by down-sampling face components such as eyes, nose, mouth and whole face with different resolutions based on significance of face component, and then subspace Principal Component Analysis (PCA) or Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) method is employed to acquire a good representation of facial features.
