also be introduced. But class specific linear subspace method requires sufficient<br />
number <strong>of</strong> training samples per class which can be attained by generating<br />
multiple face samples (image rendering using 3D model <strong>of</strong> a face) from a single<br />
or a few face images.<br />
3. The subband face introduced in this thesis is obtained by suppressing approx-<br />
imation and in some case, eliminating lower level details from dyadic decom-<br />
posed subbands. The search <strong>of</strong> optimal subband face can be extended by using<br />
a full tree decomposition with 2D-DWT and designing a more efficient algo-<br />
rithm and criterion to accomplish the search procedure.<br />
4. In chapter 4, we combined null space and range space <strong>of</strong> within-class scatter.<br />
Different combination strategies at feature and decision level can be explored<br />
to improve the classification accuracy.<br />
5. One can investigate the scope <strong>of</strong> combining subband face representation with<br />
dual space method to implement a superior face recognition system.<br />
6. Effect <strong>of</strong> weighted modular PCA [67] on subband face representation can also<br />
form a nice extension <strong>of</strong> subband face based recognition system.<br />
7. In chapter 5, face and fingerprint are combined using an efficient decision combi-<br />
nation technique. Here, one can explore superior techniques for decision fusion<br />
<strong>of</strong> face and fingerprint classifiers. A robust multimodal biometrics can be de-<br />
veloped based on three or more cues (face, fingerprint, iris, voice, palm-print,<br />
etc.) using our proposed method <strong>of</strong> multiple classifier combination.<br />
