Reecha Sharma, M.S. Patterh . Age Invariant Face Recognition using K-PCA and K-NN on Indian Face Age Database (IFAD). International Journal of Computer Applications. 126, 7 ( September 2015), 41-45. DOI=10.5120/ijca2015906100
In this paper a comparative analysis of K-Principle Component Analysis (K-PCA) and K-Nearest Neighbor (K-NN) classifier is done for age invariant face recognition using Indian Face Age Database (IFAD). IFAD is a real time and wild in face database which can be used for face recognition at different variation parameters. These variations can be pose, illumination, occulation, and age. In this paper age variation is prime issue for face recognition. The IFAD database consists of 55 subjects. The images are not preprocessed. In IFAD face detection is done by Viola Jones face detection algorithm. It is analyze that K-NN gives high classification rate but take more execution time at high values of K components. On the other hand Euclidean distance gives less classification rate and less execution time at high values of K components. So K-NN can perform better for age invariant face recognition if its execution time improved in future.
