There are many Local texture features each very in way they implement and each of the Algorithm trying improve the performance. An attempt is made in this paper to represent a theoretically very simple and computationally effective approach for face recognition. In our implementation the face image is divided into 3x3 sub-regions from which the features are extracted using the Local Binary Pattern (LBP) over a window, fuzzy membership function and at the central pixel. The LBP features possess the texture discriminative property and their computational cost is very low. By utilising the information from LBP, membership function, and central pixel, the limitations of traditional LBP is eliminated. The bench mark database like ORL and Sheffield Databases are used for the evaluation of proposed features with SVM classifier. For the proposed approach K-fold and ROC curves are obtained and results are compared.

The World Wide Web continues to grow at an amazing rate in both the size and complexity of Web sites and is well on its way to being the main reservoir of information and data. Due to this increase in growth and complexity of WWW, web site publishers are facing increasing difficulty in attracting and retaining users. To design popular and attractive websites publishers must understand their users needs. Therefore analyzing users behaviour is an important part of web page design. Web Usage Mining (WUM) is the application of data mining techniques to web usage log repositories in order to discover the usage patterns that can be used to analyze the users navigational behavior. WUM contains three main steps: preprocessing, knowledge extraction and results analysis. The goal of the preprocessing stage in Web usage mining is to transform the raw web log data into a set of user profiles. Each such profile captures a sequence or a set of URLs representing a user session.

As the features from the traditional Local Binary Patterns (LBP) and Local Directional Patterns (LDP) are found to be ineffective for face recognition, we have proposed a new approach derived on the basis of Information sets whereby the loss of information that occurs during the binarization is eliminated. The information sets expand the scope of fuzzy sets by connecting the attribute and the corresponding membership function value as a product. Since face is having smooth texture in a limited area, the extracted features must be highly discernible. To limit the number of features, we consider only the non overlapping windows. By the application of the information set theory we can reduce the number of feature of an image. The derived features are shown to work fairly well over eigenface, fisherface and LBP methods.
