Novel Texture Description and Face Identification Methods by Defining Bridle Paths and Using GaborPhases

Identification based on faces is still a useful method for many applications andface recognition developing is an active research Field. In this paper, a novel faceidentification method is proposed. The proposed method (Bridle Path on GaborPhase (BPGP)) is based on extracting texture patterns from phases of the Gaborwavelet. Also, in order to describe the textures, a novel texture descriptor method(Bridle Path) is proposed to extract the features from textures. The Bridle Pathmethod inspired by LBP method and brings some advantages such as lower featurevector length and higher texture description capability in comparison with LBP.Experimental results shows that, Bridle Path texture descriptor is a powerful toolfor describing textures and consequently proposed face recognition method (BPGP)yields high identification performance compared to other methods.
