Biometrics refers to metrics related to human characteristics and Traits. Face Recognition is the process of identification of a person by their facial image. It has been an active area of research for several decades, but still remains a challenging problem because of the complexity of the human face. The objective is to authenticate a person, to have a FAR and FRR very low. This project introduces a new approach for face recognition system using FFT algorithm. The database that contains the images is named as train database and the test image which is stored in test database is compared with the created train database. For further processing RGB data is converted into grayscale, thus reduces the matrix dimension. FFT is applied to the entire database and mean value of the images is computed and the same is repeated on test database also. Based on the threshold value of the test image, face recognition is done. Performance evaluation of Biometrics is done for normal image, skin color image, ageing image and blur image using False Acceptance Rate(FAR), False Rejection Rate(FRR), Equal Error Rate(EER) and also calculated the accuracy of different images.

Human skin detection is an important and challenging problem in computer vision. Skin detection can be used as the first phase in face detection when using color images. The differences in illumination and ranges of skin colors have made skin detection a challenging task. Gaussian model, rule based methods, and artificial neural networks are methods that have been used for human skin color detection. Deep learning methods are new techniques in learning that have shown improved classification power compared to neural networks. In this paper the authors use deep learning methods in order to enhance the capabilities of skin detection algorithms. Several experiments have been performed using auto encoders and different color spaces. The proposed technique is evaluated compare with other available methods in this domain using two color image databases. The results show that skin detection utilizing deep learning has better results compared to other methods such as rule-based, Gaussian model and feed forward neural network.

It is very challenging to recognize a face from an image due to the wide variety of face and the uncertain of face position. The research on detecting human faces in color image and in video sequence has been attracted with more and more people. In this paper, we propose a novel face detection method that achieves better detection rates. The new face detection algorithms based on skin color model in YCgCr chrominance space. Firstly, we build a skin Gaussian model in Cg-Cr color space. Secondly, a calculation of correlation coefficient is performed between the given template and the candidates. Experimental results demonstrate that our system has achieved high detection rates and low false positives over a wide range of facial variations in color, position and varying lighting conditions.

Nowadays the system which holds private and confidential data are being protected using biometric password such as finger recognition, voice recognition, eyries and face recognition. Face recognition match the current user face with faces present in the database of that security system and it has one major drawback that it never works better if it doesn’t have liveness detection. These face recognition system can be spoofed using various traits. Spoofing is accessing a system software or data by harming the biometric recognition security system. These biometric systems can be easily attacked by spoofs like peoples face images, masks and videos which are easily available from social media. The proposed work mainly focused on detecting the spoofing attack by training the system. Spoofing methods like photo, mask or video image can be easily identified by this method. This paper proposed a fusion technique where different features of an image are combining together so that it can give best accuracy in terms of distinguish between spoof and live face. Also a comparative study is done of machine learning classifiers to find out which classifiers gives best accuracy.

Recently, considerable research efforts have been devoted to effective utilization of facial color information for improved recognition performance. Of all color-based face recognition (FR) methods, the most widely used approach is a color FR method using input-level fusion. In this method, augmented input vectors of the color images are first generated by concatenating different color components (including both luminance and chrominance information) by column order at the input level and feature subspace is then trained with a set of augmented input vectors. However, in practical applications, a testing image could be captured as a grayscale image, rather than as a color image, mainly caused by different, heterogeneous image acquisition environment. A grayscale testing image causes so-called dimensionality mismatch between the trained feature subspace and testing input vector. Disparity in dimensionality negatively impacts the reliable FR performance and even imposes a significant restriction on carrying out FR operations in practical color FR systems. To resolve the dimensionality mismatch, we propose a novel approach to estimate new feature subspace, suitable for recognizing a grayscale testing image. In particular, new feature subspace is estimated from a given feature subspace created using color training images. The effectiveness of proposed solution has been successfully tested on four public face databases (DBs) such as CMU, FERET, XM2VTSDB, and ORL DBs. Extensive and comparative experiments showed that the proposed solution works well for resolving dimensionality mismatch of importance in real-life color FR systems.

Recognition of the handshape is the indispensable step to recognize the JSL (Japanese Sign Language) which uses hands as a part of articulators. We start from recognition of Manual Alphabets (MA below) as a basis to understand the handshape of a sign. In our method considering its application to sign recognition at bust shot size image, we succeeded in obtaining a hand region of the bust shot color image (512 x 512 pixels) by transforming RGB system into HVC (Hue, Value and Chroma) system, and by cutting out automatically a region of a hand out of a region in skin color. The finger region was extracted out by the Erosion-Dilation method from the hand region and the features such as finger vector were obtained. We detected a direction of gradient direction and a figure of a contacted extended finger and used them as the features, which constructed a decision tree and made the MA recognized.
