Comparação do desempenho do classificador de novidades com o classificador do vizinho mais próximo no reconhecimento facial

Abstract

This work proposes the new classifier for face recognition, novelty classifier, which is based on novelty filter proposed by Kohonen. In order to evaluate the new classifier performance, it is performed a comparison with nearest neighboard classifier, which uses the Euclidian distance as distance metric. ORL face database was chosen to be used in this comparison. There was not any pre-processing (photometric or geometric) on face images. It was used the following feature extraction methods: PCA, 2DPCA and (2D)2PCA. Some results in identification mode are exposed through rank 1 recognition rate and CMC curves. In verification mode, the results were presented by Correct Acceptance Rate (CAR), Equivalent Error Rate (EER), ROC curves and Area under the ROC curve (AUC). Results shown that the proposed classifier performs better than others previously published, when the 10-fold Cross Validation method is employed as a test strategy. Recognition rate of 100% is achieved with this test methodology.
