how to improve recognition rate?

Hello everyone!

 I am a student and new to MATLAB. I am doing my final year project on face recognition. For this, I have a code which gives high recognition rate (RR) when applied to standard databases like Color FERET, however the RR is extremely low around 2-3 % when applied on customized databases consisting real time images.

My question is how to improve RR for real time application? The result is very poor. I tried with different pre-processing although.

Please help me!

Looking forward for answers..

Well, keep working on your algorithm. Here is a list of successful face recognition papers that have been published: http://www.visionbib.com/bibliography/contentspeople.html#Face%20Recognition,%20Detection,%20Tracking,%20Gesture%20Recognition,%20Fingerprints,%20Biometrics Maybe you can use one of them instead of whatever you attempted.

Brett Shoelson of the Mathworks also has posted some MATLAB code for face recognition: http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/46645-face-recognition-using-aggregated-features
