Abstract
Efficient face encoding is an important issue in the area of face recognition. Compared to holistic features, local features have received increasing attention due to their good robustness to pose and illumination changes. In this paper, based on the histogram-based interest points and the speeded up robust features, we propose a hybrid local face feature, which provides a proper balance between the computational speed and discriminative power. Experiments on three databases demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method as well as its robustness to the main challenges of face recognition and even in practical environment.
