Abstract

Visual perception of faces is invariant under many transformations, perhaps the most problematic of which is pose change (face rotating in depth). We use a variation of Gabor wavelet transform (GWT) as a representation framework for investigating face pose measurement. Dimensionality reduction using principal components analysis (PCA) enables pose changes to be visualised as manifolds in low-dimensional subspaces and provides a useful mechanism for investigating these changes. The effectiveness of measuring face pose with GWT representations was examined using PCA. We discuss our experimental results and draw a few preliminary conclusions.
