New Feature: Average Pixel Intensity


Hypothesis:

Considering the average intensity of non-background pixels in our face images should improve classification.

In particular, variations in skin tone should make differentiation of black and white faces easier.

 

Result:

Using a multi-GLD classifier which:

  • was trained on the augmented training data.
  • used average pixel intensity to increase the dimensionality of the data.
