“…Among them, the eigenphases approach, which uses the phase spectrum (Zaeri, 2009), together with principal component analysis (PCA) and the support vector machine (SVM) (Benitez et al, 2011;Zaeri, 2009;Olivares et al, 2009;Benitez et al, 2012), appears to be a desirable approach because it provides recognition rates of over 95%. The use of other frequency transformations, such as the discrete cosine transform (Dabbaghchian et al, 2010;Ajit et al, 2014), discrete Gabor transform (Olivares et al, 2007;Thiyagarajan et al, 2010;Qin et al, 2012), discrete wavelet transform (Hu, 2011;Eleyan et al, 2008) and discrete Haar transform (Gautam et al, 2014), has also been proposed. These approaches, under controlled conditions, achieve recognition rates of over 90%.…”
