To extract features, we adopted the generalized two-dimensional FLD (G2DFLD) feature extraction technique. The feature vectors from a test image are given as input to neural network-based classifier. It is trained with the feature vectors of original image and diagonally fused images and thereby the merit weights with respect to different classes were generated. To address the factors that affect the face recognition accuracy and uncertainty related to raw biometric data, a fuzzy score for each of the classes is generated by treating a type-2 fuzzy set. This type-2 fuzzy set is formed by the feature vectors of both the diagonally fused training samples and the test image of the respective classes. A concluding score for each of the classes under consideration is computed by fusing complemented merit weight with the complemented fuzzy score. These class-wise concluding scores are considered in the face recognition process. In this study, the well-known face databases (AT&amp;T, UMIST and CMU-PIE) are used to evaluate the performance of the proposed method. The experimental results illustrate the fact that the proposed method has exhibited superior classification precision as compared with other state-of-art methods. Our T2FMFImgF method achieves highest face recognition accuracies of 99.41%, 98.36% and 89.80% in case of AT&amp;T, UMIST and CMU-PIE (with expression), respectively while for CMU-PIE (with Light) the highest recognition accuracy is 97.957%. In addition to it, the presented method is quite successful in fusing and classifying textural information from the original and partial diagonal images by integrating them with type-2 fuzzy set-based treatment.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3233\/jifs-224288","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,31]],"date-time":"2023-03-31T11:48:12Z","timestamp":1680263292000},"page":"743-761","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["T2-fuzzy
