FSIFT based feature points for face hierarchical clustering

Abstract

In this paper a method for clustering face images based on fractional order SIFT algorithm (FSIFT) is presented. This new approach is based on the dissimilarity matrix. This matrix is constructed by using descriptors calculated for keypoints detected by FSIFT algorithm using derivatives of non integer order. To proof and compared the quality of achieved results the relative error ratio and the F-measure were applying. The final scores of experiments were compared with hierarchical clustering methods based on SIFT and SURF detectors.
