This article presented in the context of 2D global facial recognition, using Gabor Wavelet's feature extraction algorithms, and facial recognition Support Vector Machines (SVM), the latter incorporating the kernel functions: linear, cubic and Gaussian. The models generated by these kernels were validated by the cross validation technique through the Matlab application. The objective is to observe the results of facial recognition in each case. An efficient technique is proposed that includes the mentioned algorithms for a database of 2D images. The technique has been processed in its training and testing phases, for the facial image databases FERET [1] and MUCT [2], and the models generated by the technique allowed to perform the tests, whose results achieved a facial recognition of individuals over 96%.

Image feature extraction and classification is increasingly important in all sectors of the images system management. Aiming at the problems that applying Hu invariant moments to extract image feature computes large and too dimensions, this paper presented Harris corner invariant moments algorithm. This algorithm only calculates corner coordinates, so can reduce the corner matching dimensions. Combined with the SVM (Support Vector Machine) classification method, we conducted a classification for a large number of images, and the result shows that using this algorithm to extract invariant moments and classifying can achieve better classification accuracy.

This chapter presents an automatic system for white blood cell recognition in myelogenous leukaemia on the basis of the image of a bone-marrow smear. It addresses the following fundamental problems of this task: the extraction of the individual cell image of the smear, generation of different features of the cell, selection of the best features, and final recognition using an efficient classifier network based on support vector machines. The chapter proposes the complete system solving all these problems, beginning from cell extraction using the watershed algorithm; the generation of different features based on texture, geometry, morphology, and the statistical description of the intensity of the image; feature selection using linear support vector machines; and finally classification by applying Gaussian kernel support vector machines. The results of numerical experiments on the recognition of up to 17 classes of blood cells of myelogenous leukaemia have shown that the proposed system is quite accurate and may find practical application in hospitals in the diagnosis of patients suffering from leukaemia.

In this paper, we present a novel method for multi-view gender classification considering both shape and texture information to represent facial images. The face area is divided into small regions from which local binary pattern (LBP) histograms are extracted and concatenated into a single vector efficiently representing a facial image. Following the idea of local binary pattern, we propose a new feature extraction approach called multi-resolution LBP, which can retain both fine and coarse local micro-patterns and spatial information of facial images. The classification tasks in this work are performed by support vector machines (SVMs). The experiments clearly show the superiority of the proposed method over both support gray faces and support Gabor faces on the CAS-PEAL face database. A higher correct classification rate of 96.56% and a higher cross validation average accuracy of 95.78% have been obtained. In addition, the simplicity of the proposed method leads to very fast feature extraction, and the regional histograms and fine-to-coarse description of facial images allow for multi-view gender classification.
