Using Local Features in Face Recognition Systems
Among the many applications in the field of computer vision, face recognition systems; is a subject that has been studied extensively and has been working for a long time. In general, the success of facial recognition systems, which consist of feature extraction and classifier steps, depends not only on the classifier but also on the features used. In a face recognition system, the feature selection is to obtain distinctive features for recognition of different facial images of interest. For this purpose, SIFT, SURF and SIFT + SURF features, which are unchanging features to scaling and affine transformations, are used in this study. In addition, to be able to compare with these local features, the HOG feature which is a global feature, also has been added to the study. Classification was performed using support vector machine. Experimental results show that local features are more successful than the global feature HOG.
