Linear projection algorithms and morphological dynamic link architecture for frontal face verification

The combined use of linear projection algorithms with a variant of dynamic link architecture based on the multi-scale morphological dilation-erosion is proposed for face verification. The performance of the combined scheme is evaluated in terms of the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) for several threshold selections on the matching error in the M2VTS database. The experimental results indicate that the incorporation of linear projections in the morphological dynamic link architecture improves significantly the verification capability of the method.
