In this paper, we proposed a face gender recognition method based on local features and SVM. First, we divide the face image into five parts which are used to instead of the whole face for better recognition performance. Second, we use CS to extract local features of these five parts. Then, we respectively train five single SVM classifiers to achieve one to one feature recognition for local features. Finally, decision information fusion is used to achieve the final classification. Because SVM were successfully used to solve numerous pattern recognition problems and is mainly used to solve two-classification problem, selecting SVM to do gender recognition in our method has the obvious superiority. After a lot of experiments, results show that the proposed method in this paper is stable and effective, greatly improving the efficiency of face gender recognition.

Local features are of great importance in computer vision. It performs feature detection and feature matching are two important tasks. In this paper concentrates on the problem of recognition of birds using local features. Investigation summarizes the local features SURF, FAST and HARRIS against blurred and illumination images. FAST and Harris corner algorithm have given less accuracy for blurred images. The SURF algorithm gives best result for blurred image because its identify strongest local features and time complexity is less and experimental demonstration shows that SURF algorithm is robust for blurred images and the FAST algorithms is suitable for images with illumination.

Introduction: Under complex illumination conditions such as poor light sources and light changes rapidly, there are two disadvantages of current gamma transform in preprocessing face image: one is that the parameters of transformation need to be set based on experience; the other is the details of the transformed image are not obvious enough. Objective: Improve the current gamma transform. Methods: This paper proposes a weighted fusion algorithm of adaptive gamma transform and edge feature extraction. First, this paper proposes an adaptive gamma transform algorithm for face image preprocessing, that is, the parameter of transformation generated by calculation according to the specific gray value of the input face image. Secondly, this paper uses Sobel edge detection operator to extract the edge information of the transformed image to get the edge detection image. Finally, this paper uses the adaptively transformed image and the edge detection image to obtain the final processing result through a weighted fusion algorithm. Results: The contrast of the face image after preprocessing is appropriate, and the details of the image are obvious. Conclusion: The method proposed in this paper can enhance the face image while retaining more face details, without human-computer interaction, and has lower computational complexity degree.
