Abstract :
We propose a method for automatically classifying facial images based on labeled elastic graph matching, a 2D Gabor wavelet representation, and linear discriminant analysis. Results of tests with three image sets are presented for the classification of sex, “race”, and expression. A visual interpretation of the discriminant vectors is provided
