ABSTRACT
The use of Hough Transform (HT) on face recognition is a new research in the field of biometrics and computer vision. There exists complexities in applying the Hough transform on face features due to large dimension that is beyond the power of the algorithm. The algorithm was improved and tested using Template Matching. However, the experimental results on FEI, ORL and Yale face databases demonstrated the effectiveness of the technique and recognition was achieved with minimal error. The research aimed at improving HT for face recognition by avoiding complexities involved.
