Abstract :
Automated face detection and recognition is one of the most attentional branches of biometrics and it is also the one of the most active and challenging tasks for computer vision and pattern recognition. This paper present a method for face recognition based on wavelet packet decomposition and SVMs. The experiments show that the method has good performance and reduce the greatly computation.
