Abstract
This paper devises a new means of filter diversification, dubbed multi-fold filter convolution (FFC), for face recognition. On the assumption that FFC receives single-scale Gabor filters of varying orientations as input, these filters are self-cross convolved by fold to instantiate a filter offspring set. The FFC flexibility also permits cross convolution amongst Gabor filters and other filter banks of profoundly dissimilar traits, e.g., principal component analysis (PCA) filters and independent component analysis (ICA) filters. The 2-FFC of Gabor, PCA, and ICA filters thus yields three offspring sets: 1) Gabor filters solely; 2) Gabor-PCA filters; and 3) Gabor-ICA filters, to render the learning-free and the learning-based 2-FFC descriptors. To facilitate a sensible Gabor filter selection for FFC, the 40 multi-scale, multi-orientation Gabor filters are condensed into eight elementary filters. Aside from that, an average histogram pooling operator is employed to leverage the 2-FFC histogram features, prior to the final whitening PCA compression. The empirical results substantiate that the 2-FFC descriptors prevail over, or on par with, other face descriptors on both identification and verification tasks.
