In the proposed technique, the edges of a face are identified, and a feature string is created from edge pixels. This forms a symbolic descriptor corresponding to the edge image referred to as 'edge-string'. The 'edge-strings' are then compared using the Smith-Waterman algorithm to match them. The class corresponding to each image is identified based on the number of string primitives that match. This method needs only a single training image per class. The proposed technique is also applicable to face sketch recognition. In face sketch recognition, a sketch drawn based on the descriptions of the victims or witnesses is compared against the photos in the mug shot database to facilitate a faster investigation. The effectiveness of the proposed method is compared with state-of-the-art algorithms on several databases. The method is observed to give promising results for both face photo recognition and face sketch recognition. 2012 English text University of Dayton / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=dayton1353372694 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=dayton1353372694 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
