Moment based methods have evolved into a powerful tool for face recognition applications. In this paper, a comparative study on moments based feature extraction methods in terms of their capability to recognize facial images with different challenges is done to evaluate the performance of different type of moments. The moments include Geometric moments (GM’s), Zernike moments (ZM’s), Pseudo-Zernike moments (PZM’s) and Wavelet moments (WM’s). Experiments conducted on CASIA NIR database showed that Zernike moments outperformed other moment-based methods for facial images with different challenges such as facial expressions, head pose and noise.
