A Face Recognition System Based on Principal Component Analysis-Wavelet and Support Vector Machines
Face recognition can represent a key requirement in various types of applications such as human-computer interface, monitoring systems, as well as personal identification. In this paper, design and implement of face recognition system are introduced. In this system, a combination of principal component analysis (PCA) and wavelet feature extraction algorithms with support vector machine (SVM) and K-nearest neighborhood classifier is used. PCA and wavelet transform methods are used to extract features from face image using and identify the image of the face using SVMs classifier as well as the neural network are used as a classifier to compare its results with the proposed system. For a more comprehensive comparison, two face image databases (Yale and ORL) are used to test the performance of the system. Finally, the experimental results show the efficiency and reliability of face recognition system, and the results demonstrate accuracy on two databases indicated that the results enhancement 5% using the SVM classifier with polynomial Kernel function compared to use feedforward neural network classifier
Evaluation of face recognition algorithms under noise
One of the major applications of computer vision and image processing is face recognition,
where a computerized algorithm automatically identifies a person’s face from
a large image dataset or even from a live video. This thesis addresses facial recognition,
a topic that has been widely studied due to its importance in many applications
in both civilian and military domains. The application of face recognition systems
has expanded from security purposes to social networking sites, managing fraud, and
improving user experience. Numerous algorithms have been designed to perform face
recognition with good accuracy. This problem is challenging due to the dynamic nature
of the human face and the different poses that it can take. Regardless of the
algorithm, facial recognition accuracy can be heavily affected by the presence of noise.
This thesis presents a comparison of traditional and deep learning face recognition
algorithms under the presence of noise. For this purpose, Gaussian and salt-andpepper
noises are applied to the face images drawn from the ORL Dataset. The
image recognition is performed using each of the following eight algorithms: principal
component analysis (PCA), two-dimensional PCA (2D-PCA), linear discriminant
analysis (LDA), independent component analysis (ICA), discrete cosine transform
(DCT), support vector machine (SVM), convolution neural network (CNN) and Alex
Net. The ORL dataset was used in the experiments to calculate the evaluation accuracy
for each of the investigated algorithms. Each algorithm is evaluated with two
experiments; in the first experiment only one image per person is used for training,
whereas in the second experiment, five images per person are used for training. The investigated traditional algorithms are implemented with MATLAB and the deep
learning algorithms approaches are implemented with Python. The results show that
the best performance was obtained using the DCT algorithm with 92% dominant
eigenvalues and 95.25 % accuracy, whereas for deep learning, the best performance
was using a CNN with accuracy of 97.95%, which makes it the best choice under noisy
conditions
Learning image components for object recognition
In order to perform object recognition it is necessary to learn representations of the underlying components of images. Such components correspond to objects, object-parts, or features. Non-negative matrix factorisation is a generative model that has been specifically proposed for finding such meaningful representations of image data, through the use of non-negativity constraints on the factors. This article reports on an empirical investigation of the performance of non-negative matrix factorisation algorithms. It is found that such algorithms need to impose additional constraints on the sparseness of the factors in order to successfully deal with occlusion. However, these constraints can themselves result in these algorithms failing to identify image components under certain conditions. In contrast, a recognition model (a competitive learning neural network algorithm) reliably and accurately learns representations of elementary image features without such constraints
A comparative study on face recognition techniques and neural network
In modern times, face recognition has become one of the key aspects of
computer vision. There are at least two reasons for this trend; the first is
the commercial and law enforcement applications, and the second is the
availability of feasible technologies after years of research. Due to the very
nature of the problem, computer scientists, neuro-scientists and psychologists
all share a keen interest in this field. In plain words, it is a computer
application for automatically identifying a person from a still image or video
frame. One of the ways to accomplish this is by comparing selected features
from the image and a facial database. There are hundreds if not thousand
factors associated with this. In this paper some of the most common techniques
available including applications of neural network in facial recognition are
studied and compared with respect to their performance.Comment: 8 page
Review of Face Detection Systems Based Artificial Neural Networks Algorithms
Face detection is one of the most relevant applications of image processing
and biometric systems. Artificial neural networks (ANN) have been used in the
field of image processing and pattern recognition. There is lack of literature
surveys which give overview about the studies and researches related to the
using of ANN in face detection. Therefore, this research includes a general
review of face detection studies and systems which based on different ANN
approaches and algorithms. The strengths and limitations of these literature
studies and systems were included also.Comment: 16 pages, 12 figures, 1 table, IJMA Journa
