Abstract

Huge variation in facial appearances of the same individual makes Age-Invariance Face Recognition (AIFR) task suffer from the misclassification of faces. However, some Age-Invariant Feature Extraction Techniques (AI-FET) for AIFR are emerging to achieve good recognition results. The performance results of these AI-FETs need to be further investigated statistically to avoid being misled. Here, the means between the quantitative results of Principal Component Analysis–Linear Discriminant Analysis (PCA-LDA) and Histogram of Gradient (HoG) are compared using one-way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). The ANOVA results obtained at 0.05 critical significance level indicate that the results of the HoG and PCA-LDA techniques are statistically well in line because the F-critical value was found to be greater than the value of the calculated F-statistics in all the calculations.
