Face Recognition Method Based on FLPP

In view of the problems of features in face recognition, a new face image feature extraction and recognition method----Fractal Locality Preserving Projections (FLPP) is proposed in this paper. FLPP first gets the high order statistic information by calculating the fractal codes of face images. Based on manifold learning theories, LPP takes into account the inter-class information, and extract the discriminat features of face image for recognition. This method has been tested in the ORL face database and Yale face database, using the nearest neighborhood algorithm to construct classified. The results show that the FLPP has good performance even if illumination, pose, face expression change.
