Abstract Gabor features can effectively represent the local features of face image with different directions and scales. However, traditional Gabor features based algorithms neglect the global features of the original image. Enhanced Gabor features (EGF) is developed in this paper by combining Gabor features and information extracted from the original image. A face recognition method is further proposed based on EGF and direct fractional-step linear discriminant analysis algorithm (DF_LDA). Experiment results of simulation on Yale, ORL and Georgia face databases show that EGF can effectively improve the face recognition rate compared with the traditional Gabor features.
