A face recognition algorithm based on NMPKPCA algorithm presented in this paper. The proposed algorithm when compared with conventional Principal component analysis (PCA) algorithms has an improved recognition Rate for face images with large variations in illumination, facial expressions. In this technique, first phase congruency features are extracted from the face image so that effects due to illumination variations are avoided by considering phase component of image. Then, face images are divided into small sub images and the kernel PCA approach is applied to each of these sub images. but, dividing into small or large modules creates some problems in recognition. So a special modulation called neighborhood defined modularization approach presented in this paper, so that effects due to facial variations are avoided. Then, kernel PCA has been applied to each module to extract features. So a feature extraction technique for improving recognition accuracy of a visual image based facial recognition system presented in this paper.

A fast sparse representation face recognition algorithm based on Gabor dictionary and SL0 norm is proposed in this paper. The Gabor filters, which could effectively extract local directional features of the image at multiple scales, are less sensitive to variations of illumination, expression and camouflage. SL0 algorithm, with the advantages of calculation speed,require fewer measurement values by continuously differentiable function approximation L0 norm and reconstructed sparse signal by minimizing the approximate L0 norm. The algorithm obtain the local feature face by extracting the Gabor face feature, reduce the dimensions by principal component analysis, fast sparse classify by the SL0 norm. Under camouflage condition, The algorithm block the Gabor facial feature and improve the speed of formation of the Gabor dictionary. The experimental results on AR face database show that the proposed algorithm can improve recognition speed and recognition rate to some extent and can generalize well to the face recognition, even with a few training image per class.

This paper proposed a theoretically efficient approach for face recognition based on principal component analysis (PCA) and rotation invariant uniform local binary pattern texture features in order to weaken the effects of varying illumination conditions and facial expressions. Firstly, the rotation invariant uniform LBP operator was adopted to extract the local texture feature of the face images. Then PCA method was used to reduce the dimensionality of the extracted feature and get the eigenfaces. Finally, the nearest distance classification was used to distinguish each face. The method has been accessed on Yale and ATR-Jaffe face databases. Results demonstrate that the proposed method is superior to standard PCA and its recognition rate is higher than the traditional PCA. And the proposed algorithm has strong robustness against the illumination changes, pose, rotation and expressions.

In the contactless delivery scenario, the self-pickup cabinet is an important terminal delivery device, and face recognition is one of the efficient ways to achieve contactless access express delivery. In order to effectively recognize face images under unrestricted environments, an unrestricted face recognition algorithm based on transfer learning is proposed in this study. First, the region extraction network of the faster RCNN algorithm is improved to improve the recognition speed of the algorithm. Then, the first transfer learning is applied between the large ImageNet dataset and the face image dataset under restricted conditions. The second transfer learning is applied between face image under restricted conditions and unrestricted face image datasets. Finally, the unrestricted face image is processed by the image enhancement algorithm to increase its similarity with the restricted face image, so that the second transfer learning can be carried out effectively. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm has better recognition rate and recognition speed on the CASIA-WebFace dataset, FLW dataset, and MegaFace dataset.

A wide variety of systems require reliable person recognition schemes to either confirm or determine the identity of an individual requesting their services. The purpose of such schemes is to ensure that only a legitimate user and no one else access the rendered services. Examples of such applications include secure access to buildings, computer systems, laptops, cellular phones, and ATMs. Face can be used as Biometrics for person verification. Face is a complex multidimensional structure and needs a good computing techniques for recognition. We treats face recognition as a two-dimensional recognition problem. A well-known technique of Principal Component Analysis (PCA) is used for face recognition. Face images are projected onto a face space that encodes best variation among known face images. The face space is defined by Eigen face which are eigenvectors of the set of faces, which may not correspond to general facial features such as eyes, nose, lips. The system performs by projecting pre extracted face image onto a set of face space that represent significant variations among known face images. The variable reducing theory of PCA accounts for the smaller face space than the training set of face. A Multire solution features based pattern recognition system used for face recognition based on the combination of Radon and wavelet transforms. As the Radon transform is in-variant to rotation and a Wavelet Transform provides the multiple resolution. This technique is robust for face recognition. The technique computes Radon projections in different orientations and captures the directional features of face images. Further, the wavelet transform applied on Radon space provides multire solution features of the facial images. Being the line integral, Radon transform improves the low-frequency components that are useful in face recognition

We proposed a face recognition algorithm based on both the multilinear principal component analysis (MPCA) and linear discriminant analysis (LDA). Compared with current traditional existing face recognition methods, our approach treats face images as multidimensional tensor in order to find the optimal tensor subspace for accomplishing dimension reduction. The LDA is used to project samples to a new discriminant feature space, while theKnearest neighbor (KNN) is adopted for sample set classification. The results of our study and the developed algorithm are validated with face databases ORL, FERET, and YALE and compared with PCA, MPCA, and PCA + LDA methods, which demonstrates an improvement in face recognition accuracy.

Abstract Face recognition is a relatively novel research field, and its application is closely related to numerous other areas. Moreover, it is emerging as a critical research theme due to its broad range of applications. Thus, many face recognition methods use a variety of feature extraction approaches. Nonetheless, the issue continues to be challenging, particularly identifying non-biological entities. This paper proposes an extended descriptor for local features of an effectual facial recognition system using a local directional pattern operator. This technique combines the Frei-Chen and Robinson masks’ strengths by fusion of the directional features of LDP for these two masks; this elicits a robust feature extraction method for distinguishing faces. Experimental results using the Yale database show that the extended descriptor considerably improved recognition rate and better performance than traditional local feature descriptors.


Face recognition is one of the hot topics in the current world and one of the popular topics of computer studies. Today face recognition in the network society and access to digital data is gaining more attention. The facial recognition system technology is a biometric assessment of a human's face. There are many facial recognition techniques that are intended depending on facial expressions extraction, one of which is 3D facial recognition, as well as their fusion,is difficult. During preprocessing measures for picture recognition to remove only expression-specific characteristics from the face and prevent their issues with a convolution neural network. We can also use some theorems such as LBP and Taylor's theorem to model face recognition. In particular, for cloud robots, we can also use this facial recognition on robots. The robot can perform functions and share data between servers and devices. Seven fundamental expressions are used to identify and classify: happiness, shock, fear, disgust, sadness, rage, and a neutral condition. Until now, the recognition rate is quite up to the expectation stage, but it still tries to enhance. To enhance the recognition frequency of facial image recognition, feelings are chosen by the vibrant Bayesian network technique to depict the development of facial awareness in addition to various emotional operations of facial expressions. The ICCA techniques involve various multivariate sets of distinct facial features that could be eyes, nose, and mouth.

<p>The main problem in face recognition system based on half-face pattern is how to anticipate poses and illuminance variations to improve recognition rate. To solve this problem, we can use two lenses on stereo vision camera in face recognition system. Stereo vision camera has left and right lenses that can be used to produce a 2D image of each lens. Stereo vision camera in face recognition has capability to produce two of 2D face images with a different angle. Both angle of the face image will produce a detailed image of the face and better lighting levels on each of the left and right lenses. In this study, we proposed a face recognition technique, using 2 lens on a stereo vision camera namely symmetrical half-join. Symmetrical half-join is a method of normalizing the image of the face detection on each of the left and right lenses in stereo vision camera, then cropping and merging at each image. Tests on face recognition rate based on the variety of poses and variations in illumination shows that the symmetrical half-join method is able to provide a high accuracy of face recognition and can anticipate variations in given pose and illumination variations. The proposed model is able to produce 86% -97% recognition rate on a variety of poses and variations in angles between 0 °- 22.5 °. The variation of illuminance measured using a lux meter can result in 90% -100% recognition rate for the category of at least dim lighting levels (above 10 lux).</p>

Illumination effects, including shadows and varying lighting, make the problem of face recognition challenging. Experimental and theoretical results show that the face images under different illumination conditions approximately lie in a low-dimensional subspace, hence principal component analysis (PCA) or low-dimensional subspace techniques have been used. Following this spirit, we propose new techniques for the face recognition problem, including an outlier detection strategy (mainly for those points not following the Lambertian reflectance model), and a new error criterion for the recognition algorithm. Experiments using the Yale-B face database show the effectiveness of the new strategies.

Face recognition is one of the popular areas of research in the field of computer vision. It is mainly used for identification and security system. One of the major challenges in face recognition is identification under numerous illumination environments by changing the direction of light or modifying the lighting magnitude. Exacting illumination invariant features is an effective approach to solve this problem. Conventional face recognition algorithms based on nonsubsampled contourlet transform (NSCT) and bionic mode are not capable enough to recognize the similar faces with great accuracy. Hence, in this paper, an attempt is made to propose an enhanced cerebellum-basal ganglia mechanism (CBGM) for face recognition. The integral projection and geometric feature assortment method are used to acquire the facial image features. The cognition model is deployed which is based on the cerebellum-basal ganglia mechanism and is applied for extraction of features from the face image to achieve greater accuracy for recognition of face images. The experimental results reveal that the enhanced CBGM algorithm can effectively recognize face images with greater accuracy. The recognition rate of 100 AR face images has been found to be 96.9%. The high recognition accuracy rate has been achieved by the proposed CBGM technique.
