In this paper, a new system for face recognition is proposed, based on Hidden Markov Models (HMMs) and wavelet coding. A sequence of overlapping sub-images is extracted from each face image, computing the wavelet coefficients for each of them. The whole sequence is then modelled by using Hidden Markov Models. The proposed method is compared with a DCT coefficients-based approach [9], showing comparable results. By using an accurate model selection procedure, we show that results proposed in [9] can be improved even more. The obtained results outperform all results presented in the literature on the Olivetti Research Laboratory (ORL) face database, reaching a 100% recognition rate. These performances proves the suitability of HMMs to deal with the new JPEG2000 image compression standard.
