Abstract

In this paper, a codec design method is pro-posed for the face images based on JPEG and its application to face recognition is presented. Quantization table design is dis-cussed using R-D optimization for Yale face data. For the usage in the embedded systems, fast codec design is also considered. The proposed codec has better performance than JPEG codec for face images. Through the recognition experiment using PCA and LDA, it has been shown that the proposed codec has better performance than JPEG codec.
