Face Description with Local Binary Patterns and Local Ternary Patterns: Improving Face Recognition Performance Using Similarity Feature-Based Selection and Classification Algorithm

In recent years, the binary coding of face image features, such as local binary patterns (LBP) and local ternary patterns (LTP) have become popular in face recognition systems. These local feature descriptors provide a simple and powerful means for texture description. In this paper, we present a novel approach, which uses these descriptors to represent face images, and a similarity feature-based selection and classification algorithm to improve recognition rate. The face image is first divided into small regions from which LBP and LTP histograms are extracted and concatenated into a single feature vector. The proposed algorithm is used to select the similarity features of training set and classify the face image. The experiments are conducted on the ORL Database of Faces and the Extended Yale Face Database B. The results clearly show the superiority of the proposed algorithm.
