Abstract : Face recognition subject to uncontrolled-blur, illumination, occlusion errors are challenging and which gives negative impact on face recognition accuracy. Hence, error removal is necessary in face recognition methods before the application of other techniques for face classification. To achieve this we propose a new method called Face Classification using Histogram Equalization and and morphological operations. Using mirror image technique the virtual images for both training and test samples are generated. The conventional and inverse representation methods on these images are applied separately further, they are combined to achieve better accuracy using weighted fusion. The experiments are carried out on publicly available FERET, ORL, Extended YALE and JAFEE normal and corrupted face data bases. The results show that, FCHE is an improvement over conventional and inverse representation based linear regression classification (CIRLRC). It is demonstrated that, FCHE performs better than the other state-of-the-art conventional representation based Face classification Methods. Keywords- Face Recognition; Morphological functions; Linear Regression; Classification; Conventional Representation; Inverse Representation.
