Effect of Principal Component Analysis in Feature based Uncalibrated Steganalysis using Block Dependency

Facial information is processed by our brain in such a way that we immediately make judgments about, for example, attractiveness or masculinity or interpret personality traits or moods of other people. The appearance of each facial feature has an effect on our perception of facial traits. This research addresses the problem of measuring the size of these effects for five facial features (eyes, eyebrows, nose, mouth, and jaw). Our proposal is a mixed feature-based and image-based approach that allows judgments to be made on complete real faces in the categorization tasks, more than on synthetic, noisy, or partial faces that can influence the assessment. Each facial feature of the faces is automatically classified considering their global appearance using principal component analysis. Using this procedure, we establish a reduced set of relevant specific attributes (each one describing a complete facial feature) to characterize faces. In this way, a more direct link can be established between perceived facial traits and what people intuitively consider an eye, an eyebrow, a nose, a mouth, or a jaw. A set of 92 male faces were classified using this procedure, and the results were related to their scores in 15 perceived facial traits. We show that the relevant features greatly depend on what we are trying to judge. Globally, the eyes have the greatest effect. However, other facial features are more relevant for some judgments like the mouth for happiness and femininity or the nose for dominance.

This paper presents a multivariate analysis framework for pattern detection in a multisensor system; the proposed principal component analysis (PCA)/support vector machine- (SVM-) based supervision scheme can identify patterns in the multisensory system. Although the PCA and SVM are commonly used in pattern recognition, an effective methodology using the PCA/SVM for multisensory system remains unexplored. Pattern detection in a multisensor system has long been a challenge. For example, object inspections in multisensor systems are difficult to perform because inspectors might fail to use multiple sensing devices when concurrently detecting different patterns. Therefore, to resolve this issue, this study proposes a novel framework for establishing indicators and corresponding thresholds to identify patterns in the system; it employs a feature-based scheme that integrates principal component analysis (PCA) with an SVM for effectively detecting patterns in the system. Experiments were conducted using a tactile and optical measurement system. The experimental results demonstrated that the proposed method can effectively identify patterns in multisensor systems by using a feature-based algorithm that combines PCA and SVM classification for detecting various patterns. Moreover, the proposed framework established alarm indicators and corresponding thresholds that can be used for pattern detection.
