Face recognition based on 2DPCA, DIAPCA and DIA2DPCA in DCT domain
In this paper, we introduce 2DPCA, DiaPCA and DiaPCA+2DPCA in DCT domain for the aim of face recognition. The 2D DCT transform has been used as a preprocessing step, then 2DPCA, DiaPCA and DiaPCA+2DPCA are applied to a wtimesw upper left block of the global 2D DCT transform matrix of the original images. The experiments which are performed on the ORL face database show that: in addition to the expected considerable gain in both the training and testing time, the recognition rate is higher using 2DPCA, DiaPCA and DiaPCA+2DPCA in DCT domain than applying these three methods directly on the raw pixel images.
