Abstract
Scale Invariant Feature Transform (SIFT) has shown to be a powerful technique for general object recognition/detection. In this paper, we propose two new approaches: Volume-SIFT (VSIFT) and Partial-Descriptor-SIFT (PDSIFT) for face recognition based on the original SIFT algorithm. We compare holistic approaches: Fisherface (FLDA), the null space approach (NLDA) and Eigenfeature Regularization and Extraction (ERE) with feature based approaches: SIFT and PDSIFT. Experiments on the ORL and AR databases show that the performance of PDSIFT is significantly better than the original SIFT approach. Moreover, PDSIFT can achieve comparable performance as the most successful holistic approach ERE and significantly outperforms FLDA and NLDA.Keywords
