Although the face detection problem has been studied for decades, searching tiny faces in the whole image is still a challenging task, especially in low-resolution images. Traditional face detection methods are based on hand-crafted features, but the features of tiny faces are different from those of normal-sized faces, and thus the detection robustness cannot be guaranteed. In order to alleviate the problem in existing methods, we propose a pre-identification mechanism and a cascaded detector (PMCD) for tiny-face detection. This pre-identification mechanism can greatly reduce background and other irrelevant information. The cascade detector is designed with two stages of deep convolutional neural network (CNN) to detect tiny faces in a coarse-to-fine manner, i.e., the face-area candidates are pre-identified as region of interest (RoI) based on a real-time pedestrian detector and the pre-identification mechanism, the set of RoI candidates is the input of the second sub-network instead of the whole image. Benefiting from the above mechanism, the second sub-network is designed as a shallow network which can keep high accuracy and real-time performance. The accuracy of PMCD is at least 4% higher than the other state-of-the-art methods on detecting tiny faces, while keeping real-time performance.

This article describes the technique of real-time face detection, mask detection, and vacant seat available in the vehicle. There are so many technologies for finding seat availability in the vehicle. But image processing technology is very popular today. Face detection is part of image processing. It is used to find the face of a human being in a certain area. Face detection is used in many applications, such as facial recognition, people tracking or photography. In this paper, the face detection technique is used to detect the vacant seat availability in the vehicle and also to detect whether the passenger wear the mask on his face or not. The webcam is installed in the vehicle and connected with the Raspberry Pi 3 model B. When the vehicle leaves the station, the webcam will capture images of the passengers in the seating area. The webcam will be mounted on the vehicle. The images will be adjusted and enhanced to reduce noise made by the software application. The system obtains the maximum number of passengers in the vehicle that processes the images and then calculates the availability of seats in the vehicle. In covid-19 situation mask detection is necessary. so this system also used to detect the mask on face.

In general, the field of face recognition has lots of research that have put interest in order to detect the face and to identify it and also to track it. Many researchers have concentrated on the face identification and detection problem by using various approaches. The proposed approach is further very useful and helpful in real time application. Thus the Face Detection, Identification  which is proposed here is used to detect the faces in videos in the real time application by using the FDIT (Face Detection Identification Technique) algorithm. Thus the proposed mechanism is very help full in identifying individual persons who are been involved in the action of robbery, murder cases and terror activities. Although in face recognition the algorithm used is of histogram equalization combined with Back propagation neural network in which we recognize an unknown test image by comparing it with the known training set images that are been stored in the database. Also the proposed approach uses skin color extraction as a parameter for face detection. A multi linear training and rectangular face feature extraction are done for training, identifying and detecting.   Thus the proposed technique   is PCA + FDIT technique configuration only improved recognition for subjects in images are included in the training data.   It is very useful in identify a single person from a group of faces.   Thus the proposed technique is well suited for all kinds faces frame work for face detection and identification. The face detection and identification modules share the same hierarchical architecture. They both consist of two layers of classifiers, a layer with a set of component classifiers and a layer with a single combination classifier.  Also we have taken a real life example and simulated the algorithms in IDL Tool successfully.

When we want to analyze the continuous change of the face in an image sequence, applying face tracking methods is a better choice than applying the face detection methods to each image frame. Usually, the face tracking methods are more efficient than the ordinary face detection methods because they can utilize the trajectory of the face in the previous image frames with an assumption that the shape, texture, or motion of the face change smoothly. There have been many approaches to face tracking. We divide the face tracking methods into several categories according to the cues that are extracted for tracking.

Automatic vehicle license plate recognition is an essential part of intelligent vehicle access control and monitoring systems. With the increasing number of vehicles, it is important that an effective real-time system for automated license plate recognition is developed. Computer vision techniques are typically used for this task. However, it remains a challenging problem, as both high accuracy and low processing time are required in such a system. Here, we propose a method for license plate recognition that seeks to find a balance between these two requirements. The proposed method consists of two stages: detection and recognition. In the detection stage, the image is processed so that a region of interest is identified. In the recognition stage, features are extracted from the region of interest using the histogram of oriented gradients method. These features are then used to train an artificial neural network to identify characters in the license plate. Experimental results show that the proposed method achieves a high level of accuracy as well as low processing time when compared to existing methods, indicating that it is suitable for real-time applications.

Purpose This paper aims to introduce an unsupervised modular approach for eye centre localisation in images and videos following a coarse-to-fine, global-to-regional scheme. The design of the algorithm aims at excellent accuracy, robustness and real-time performance for use in real-world applications. Design/methodology/approach A modular approach has been designed that makes use of isophote and gradient features to estimate eye centre locations. This approach embraces two main modalities that progressively reduce global facial features to local levels for more precise inspections. A novel selective oriented gradient (SOG) filter has been specifically designed to remove strong gradients from eyebrows, eye corners and self-shadows, which sabotage most eye centre localisation methods. The proposed algorithm, tested on the BioID database, has shown superior accuracy. Findings The eye centre localisation algorithm has been compared with 11 other methods on the BioID database and six other methods on the GI4E database. The proposed algorithm has outperformed all the other algorithms in comparison in terms of localisation accuracy while exhibiting excellent real-time performance. This method is also inherently robust against head poses, partial eye occlusions and shadows. Originality/value The eye centre localisation method uses two mutually complementary modalities as a novel, fast, accurate and robust approach. In addition, other than assisting eye centre localisation, the SOG filter is able to resolve general tasks regarding the detection of curved shapes. From an applied point of view, the proposed method has great potentials in benefiting a wide range of real-world human-computer interaction (HCI) applications.

Facial recognition is fundamental for a wide variety of security systems operating in real-time applications. Recently, several deep neural networks algorithms have been developed to achieve state-of-the-art performance on this task. The present work was conceived due to the need for an efficient and low-cost processing system, so a real-time facial recognition system was proposed using a combination of deep learning algorithms like FaceNet and some traditional classifiers like SVM, KNN, and RF using moderate hardware to operate in an unconstrained environment. Generally, a facial recognition system involves two main tasks: face detection and recognition. The proposed scheme uses the YOLO-Face method for the face detection task which is a high-speed real-time detector based on YOLOv3, while, for the recognition stage, a combination of FaceNet with a supervised learning algorithm, such as the support vector machine (SVM), is proposed for classification. Extensive experiments on unconstrained datasets demonstrate that YOLO-Face provides better performance when the face under an analysis presents partial occlusion and pose variations; besides that, it can detect small faces. The face detector was able to achieve an accuracy of over 89.6% using the Honda/UCSD dataset which runs at 26 FPS with darknet-53 to VGA-resolution images for classification tasks. The experimental results have demonstrated that the FaceNet+SVM model was able to achieve an accuracy of 99.7% using the LFW dataset. On the same dataset, FaceNet+KNN and FaceNet+RF achieve 99.5% and 85.1%, respectively; on the other hand, the FaceNet was able to achieve 99.6%. Finally, the proposed system provides a recognition accuracy of 99.1% and 49 ms runtime when both the face detection and classifications stages operate together.
