A Kernel Gabor-Based Weighted Region Covariance Matrix for Face Recognition

A Kernel Gabor-Based Weighted Region Covariance Matrix for Face Recognition

This paper proposes a novel image region descriptor for face recognition, named kernel Gabor-based weighted region covariance matrix (KGWRCM). As different parts are different effectual in characterizing and recognizing faces, we construct a weighting matrix by computing the similarity of each pixel...
