Abstract: Current systems for face recognition techniques often
use either SVM or Adaboost techniques for face detection part and use
PCA for face recognition part. In this paper, we offer a novel method
for not only a powerful face detection system based on
Six-segment-filters (SSR) and Adaboost learning algorithms but also
for a face recognition system. A new exclusive face detection
algorithm has been developed and connected with the recognition
algorithm. As a result of it, we obtained an overall high-system
performance compared with current systems. The proposed algorithm
was tested on CMU, FERET, UNIBE, MIT face databases and
significant performance has obtained.
