The paper deals with 5 different techniques for feature extraction of face. First-step in face recognition systems is face detection, with purpose of localizing and extracting the face region from the background. Self- Organizing Map (SOM) Neural Network has been used for training of database and simulation of FR system. The algorithm developed for the face recognition system and an image-based approach is formulated, using Directional Discrete Cosine Transform (DDCT), Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT), Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) , Sobel Edge Detection and DCT-Pyramid Transform (DCTPT) , simulated in MATLAB. Simulation results are very promising.

This paper present’s a novel face recognition technique that uses features derived from DCT-PT, DDCT, DCT, DWT, Sobel coefficients, along with a SOM-based classifier. The system was evaluated in MATLAB using an image database of 30 face images, containing six subjects and each subject having 5 images with different facial expressions. After training for approximately 1000 epochs the system achieved a recognition rate of as shown in table 1 for 5 consecutive trials. A reduced feature space, described for experiment, dramatically reduces the computational requirements of the methods. DCT-PT feature extraction method gives better results compared to DDCT, DWT, DCT and SED methods as shown in table 2. This makes our system well suited for high speed, lowcost, real-time hardware implementation.
