what is the latest and best face recognition algorithm? [closed]

Question

am doing my final project that includes face recognition and am trying to implement it on matlab. can anybody help me on getting some resources on each algorithms and their pro's and cons. plus if i get their matlab implementation i would be glad.

i've tried PCA(Eigenfaces) but in some resources it says it not a good algorithm anymore. so am looking for an alternative.

Answer 1

The Viola Jones Face Detector is nice but of course it is just detection: http://www.cs.ubc.ca/~lowe/425/slides/13-ViolaJones.pdf if you want the best results you can try fusion by employing multiple methods at once and recogintion rate can increase considerably if performance is not an issue

Answer 2

• One may use Gabor wavelets
• face recognition in opencv
• a matlab code uses Gabor feature
