An application of chain code-based local descriptor and its extension to face recognition

作者:

Highlights:

• An extension of Chain Code-Based Local Descriptor (CCBLD) is proposed.

• CCBLD is applied to face recognition task.

• Bag-of-Visual-Words paradigm is realized through the dictionary of chain-codes.

• Test results show that CCBLD is comparable or outperforms other local descriptors.

• The approach is tested using CAS-PEAL, ColorFERET, FG-NET, and other datasets.
