Automatic human face detection for content-based image annotation

In this paper, an automatic human face detection approach using colour analysis is applied for content-based image annotation. In the face detection, the probable face region is detected by adaptive boosting algorithm, and then combined with a colour filtering classifier to enhance the accuracy in face detection. The initial experimental benchmark shows the proposed scheme can be efficiently applied for image annotation with higher fidelity

An Implementation of Real-time Automatic Masked and Unmasked Face Recognition Using LBPH Algorithm

Face recognition is an important research in computer vision technology. Face recognition is biometric technologies which identify identities from their visual features of face images. There are many challenges to make a face recognition system like light illumination, pose variation, angle of face, distance between face and camera. But Due to COVID-19 one of the biggest challenge is added into the challenge list which is detect and recognize person face with facemask. Here the research is based on a real-time automatic masked and unmasked face recognition system. This is implementing using OpenCV, Haar Cascade and LBPH Algorithm which is able to detect and recognize a single person and multiple(two) person at a time with and without facemask. And also recognize multiple authorized persons when one-person ware facemask and another person didn’t ware facemask

Ensemble of Hankel Matrices for Face Emotion Recognition

In this paper, a face emotion is considered as the result of the composition of multiple concurrent signals, each corresponding to the movements of a specific facial muscle. These concurrent signals are represented by means of a set of multi-scale appearance features that might be correlated with one or more concurrent signals. The extraction of these appearance features from a sequence of face images yields to a set of time series. This paper proposes to use the dynamics regulating each appearance feature time series to recognize among different face emotions. To this purpose, an ensemble of Hankel matrices corresponding to the extracted time series is used for emotion classification within a framework that combines nearest neighbor and a majority vote schema. Experimental results on a public available dataset shows that the adopted representation is promising and yields state-of-the-art accuracy in emotion classification.Comment: Paper to appear in Proc. of ICIAP 2015. arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:1506.0500

Iris Recognition Using Scattering Transform and Textural Features

Iris recognition has drawn a lot of attention since the mid-twentieth century. Among all biometric features, iris is known to possess a rich set of features. Different features have been used to perform iris recognition in the past. In this paper, two powerful sets of features are introduced to be used for iris recognition: scattering transform-based features and textural features. PCA is also applied on the extracted features to reduce the dimensionality of the feature vector while preserving most of the information of its initial value. Minimum distance classifier is used to perform template matching for each new test sample. The proposed scheme is tested on a well-known iris database, and showed promising results with the best accuracy rate of 99.2%
