ABSTRACT
In this paper, a face recognition system using simple Vector quantization (VQ) technique is proposed. Four different VQ algorithms namely LBG, KPE, KMCG and KFCG are used to generate codebooks of desired size. Euclidean distance is used as similarity measure to compare the feature vector of test image with that of trainee images. Proposed algorithms are tested on two different databases. One is Georgia Tech Face Database which contains color JPEG images, all are of different size. Another database used for experimental purpose is Indian Face Database. It contains color bitmap images. Using above VQ techniques, codebooks of different size are generated and recognition rate is calculated for each codebook size. This recognition rate is compared with the one obtained by applying DCT on image and LBG-VQ algorithm which is used as benchmark in vector quantization. Results show that KFCG outperforms other three VQ techniques and gives better recognition rate up to 85.4% for Georgia Tech Face Database and 90.66% for Indian Face Database. As no Euclidean distance computations are involved in KMCG and KFCG, they require less time to generate the codebook as compared to LBG and KPE
