A Log-Polar Transformation Method for Face Recognition

抄録

Log-Polar transform is an approximation model of human vision. If using it to recognize human faces, a reference point is necessary, and it influences the recognition accuracy directly. However, it is difficult to extract an appropriate reference point from an image automatically. This paper proposed a face recognition method that finds out the center of a face as a reference point of Log-Polar transform automatically. With this method, it is easier to recognize the faces by using Log-Polar transform.
