The quarter sample shift (Q-shift) DT-CWT can provide a group delay of 1/4 of a sample period, and satisfy the usual 2-band filter bank constraints of no aliasing and perfect reconstruction. To resolve illumination variation in expression verification, low-frequency coefficients produced by DT-CWT are set zeroes, high-frequency coefficients are used for reconstructing the image, and basic LBP histogram is mapped on the reconstructed image by means of histogram specification. LBP is capable of encoding texture and shape information of the preprocessed images. The histogram graphs built from multi-scale rotation invariant LBPs are combined to serve as feature for further recognition. Template matching is adopted to classify facial expressions for its simplicity. The experimental results show that the proposed approach has good performance in efficiency and accuracy.展开更多
