Abstract:

This paper introduces the Hidden Markov Tree (HMT) of the ranklet transform as a new face recognition and verification system. The HMT has been used in modeling the face images where the ranklet transform serve as features. The proposed system is evaluated on a large database of people obtaining highly competitive and promising results.

Keywords: Face Recognition, Face Verification, Hidden Markov Tree, Ranklet Transform.
