3.2.7.1 Face Recognition
The FaceRecognition descriptor can be used to retrieve face images which match a query face image. The descriptor represents the projection of a face vector onto a set of basis vectors which span the space of possible face vectors. The FaceRecognition feature set is extracted from a normalized face image. This normalized face image contains 56 lines with 46 intensity values in each line. The centers of the two eyes in each face image are located on the 24th row and the 16th and 31st column for the right and left eye respectively. This normalized image is then used to extract the one dimensional face vector which consists of the luminance pixel values from the normalized face image arranged into a one dimensional vector using a raster scan starting at the top-left corner of the image and finishing at the bottom-right corner of the image. The FaceRecogniton feature set is then calculated by projecting the one dimensional face vector onto the space defined by a set of basis vectors.
