To extract compact and distinctive information from images filtered by Gabor kernels
we propose a variable length dominant feature (VLDF) based algorithm for face recognition.Specifically
the face image is first convolved with Gabor filters of different scales and different orientations
and then the texture information is extracted from the Gabor responses using local binary pattern(LBP).Based on the statistical characteristics of the pattern distribution
the variable length dominant feature (VLDF) is derived.Finally
the distance between two VLDFs is constructed.VLDF has a lower feature vector dimensionality and a higher rank-1 recognition rate.The experiments on FERET database verify the high efficiency of the proposed algorithm.
