Abstract :
This paper proposes the use of a discrete cosine transform (DCT) instead of the eigenfaces method (Karhunen-Loeve Transform) for biometric identification based on frontal face images. Experimental results show better recognition accuracies and reduced computational burden. This paper includes results with different classifiers and a combination of them.
