Shape and Texture Combined Face Recognition for Detection of Forged ID Documents

This paper proposes a face recognition system that can be used to effectively match a face image scanned from an identity (ID) doc-ument against the face image stored in the biometric chip of such a document. The purpose of this specific face recognition algorithm is to aid the automatic detection of forged ID documents where the photography printed on the document’s surface has been altered or replaced. The proposed algorithm uses a novel combination of texture and shape features together with sub-space representation techniques. In addition, the robustness of the proposed algorithm when dealing with more general face recognition tasks has been proven with the Good, the Bad & the Ugly (GBU) dataset, one of the most challenging datasets containing frontal faces. The proposed algorithm has been complement-ed with a novel method that adopts two operating points to enhance the reliability of the algorithm’s final verification decision.Final Accepted Versio

State Preserving Extreme Learning Machine for Face Recognition

Extreme Learning Machine (ELM) has been introduced as a new algorithm for training single hidden layer feed-forward neural networks (SLFNs) instead of the classical gradient-based algorithms. Based on the consistency property of data, which enforce similar samples to share similar properties, ELM is a biologically inspired learning algorithm with SLFNs that learns much faster with good generalization and performs well in classification applications. However, the random generation of the weight matrix in current ELM based techniques leads to the possibility of unstable outputs in the learning and testing phases. Therefore, we present a novel approach for computing the weight matrix in ELM which forms a State Preserving Extreme Leaning Machine (SPELM). The SPELM stabilizes ELM training and testing outputs while monotonically increases its accuracy by preserving state variables. Furthermore, three popular feature extraction techniques, namely Gabor, Pyramid Histogram of Oriented Gradients (PHOG) and Local Binary Pattern (LBP) are incorporated with the SPELM for performance evaluation. Experimental results show that our proposed algorithm yields the best performance on the widely used face datasets such as Yale, CMU and ORL compared to state-of-the-art ELM based classifiers

A novel face recognition method with feature combination

A novel combined personalized feature Framework is proposed for face recognition (FR). In the framework, the proposed linear discriminant analysis (LDA) makes use of the null space of the within-class scatter matrix effectively, and Global feature vectors (PCA-transformed) and local feature vectors (Gabor wavelet-transformed) are integrated by complex vectors as input feature of improved LDA. The proposed method is compared to other commonly used FR methods on two face databases (ORL and UMIST). Results demonstrated that the performance of the proposed method is superior to that of traditional FR approachesthe National Natural ScienceFoundation of China (No. 60275023

A Feature Extraction Method Based on Feature Fusion and its Application in the Text-Driven Failure Diagnosis Field

As a basic task in NLP (Natural Language Processing), feature extraction directly determines the quality of text clustering and text classification. However, the commonly used TF-IDF (Term Frequency & Inverse Document Frequency) and LDA (Latent Dirichlet Allocation) text feature extraction methods have shortcomings in not considering the text’s context and blindness to the topic of the corpus. This study builds a feature extraction algorithm and application scenarios in the field of failure diagnosis. A text-driven failure diagnosis model is designed to classify and automatically judge which failure mode the failure described in the text belongs to once a failure-description text is entered. To verify the effectiveness of the proposed feature extraction algorithm and failure diagnosis model, a long-term accumulated failure description text of an aircraft maintenance and support system was used as a subject to conduct an empirical study. The final experimental results also show that the proposed feature extraction method can effectively improve the effect of clustering, and the proposed failure diagnosis model achieves high accuracies and low false alarm rates
