Disparity correction Gabor graph Gabor phase EXTERNAL http://publications.idiap.ch/attachments/papers/2012/Gunther_ICANN2012_2012.pdf PUBLIC Artificial Neural Networks and Machine Learning Heidelberg Lecture Notes in Computer Science 7552 411-418 978-3-642-33268-5 2012 Springer Berlin 10.1007/978-3-642-33269-2_52 doi We analyze the relative relevance of Gabor amplitudes and phases for face recognition. We propose an algorithm to reliably estimate offset point disparities from phase differences and show that disparity corrected Gabor phase differences are well suited for face recognition in difficult lighting conditions. The method reaches 74.8% recognition rate on the Lighting set of the CAS-PEAL database and 35.7% verification rate on experiment 2.4 of the FRGC database.
