Yes / n this paper, a powerful face recognition system for authentication and identification tasks is presented and a new facial feature extraction approach is proposed. A novel feature extraction method based on combining the characteristics of the Curvelet transform and Fractal dimension transform is proposed. The proposed system consists of four stages. Firstly, a simple preprocessing algorithm based on a sigmoid function is applied to standardize the intensity dynamic range in the input image. Secondly, a face detection stage based on the Viola-Jones algorithm is used for detecting the face region in the input image. After that, the feature extraction stage using a combination of the Digital Curvelet via wrapping transform and a Fractal Dimension transform is implemented. Finally, the K-Nearest Neighbor (K-NN) and Correlation Coefficient (CC) Classifiers are used in the recognition task. Lastly, the performance of the proposed approach has been tested by carrying out a number of experiments on three well-known datasets with high diversity in the facial expressions: SDUMLA-HMT, Faces96 and UMIST datasets. All the experiments conducted indicate the robustness and the effectiveness of the proposed approach for both authentication and identification tasks compared to other established approaches.
