ABSTRACT

Face detection is a crucial part of the face recognition system. It determines the performance of the whole recognition system. Hausdorff distance metric has been used in face detection and recognition with good results. It defines the distance metric based only on the geometric similarity between two sets of points. However, not only the geometry but also the local patterns around the points are available in most cases. In this paper a new Hausdorff distance measure is proposed that makes hybrid use of the similarity of the geometry and the local patterns around the points. Several experiments shows that the new method outperforms the conventional method.
