    Pattern recognition is a very wide research field. It involves factors as diverse as sensors, feature extraction, pattern classification, decision fusion, applications and others. The signals processed are commonly one, two or three dimensional, the processing is done in real- time or takes hours and days, some systems look for one narrow object class, others search huge databases for entries with at least a small amount of similarity. No single person can claim expertise across the whole field, which develops rapidly, updates its paradigms and comprehends several philosophical approaches. This book reflects this diversity by presenting a selection of recent developments within the area of pattern recognition and related fields. It covers theoretical advances in classification and feature extraction as well as application-oriented works. Authors of these 25 works present and advocate recent achievements of their research related to the field of pattern recognition

    One-dimensional vs. two-dimensional based features: Plant identification approach

    The number of endangered species has been increased due to shifts in the agricultural production, climate change, and poor urban planning. This has led to investigating new methods to address the problem of plant species identification/classification. In this paper, a plant identification approach using 2D digital leaves images was proposed. The approach used two features extraction methods based on one-dimensional (1D) and two-dimensional (2D) and the Bagging classifier. For the 1D-based methods, Principal Component Analysis (PCA), Direct Linear Discriminant Analysis (DLDA), and PCA + LDA techniques were applied, while 2DPCA and 2DLDA algorithms were used for the 2D-based method. To classify the extracted features in both methods, the Bagging classifier, with the decision tree as a weak learner was used. The five variants, i.e. PCA, PCA + LDA, DLDA, 2DPCA, and 2DLDA, of the approach were tested using the Flavia public dataset which consists of 1907 colored leaves images. The accuracy of these variants was evaluated and the results showed that the 2DPCA and 2DLDA methods were much better than using the PCA, PCA + LDA, and DLDA. Furthermore, it was found that the 2DLDA method was the best one and the increase of the weak learners of the Bagging classifier yielded a better classification accuracy. Also, a comparison with the most related work showed that our approach achieved better accuracy under the same dataset and same experimental setup

    Heterogeneous Techniques used in Face Recognition: A Survey

    Get PDF
    Face Recognition has become one of the important areas of research in computer vision. Human Communication is a combination of both verbal and non-verbal. For interaction in the society, face serve as the primary canvas used to express distinct emotions non-verbally. The face of one person provides the most important natural means of communication. In this paper, we will discuss the various works done in the area of face recognition where focus is on intelligent approaches like PCA, LDA, DFLD, SVD, GA etc. In the current trend, combination of these existing techniques are being taken into consideration and are discussed in this paper.Keywords: Principal Component Analysis (PCA), Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA), Genetic Algorithm (GA), Direct Fractional LDA (DFLD

    Face Recognition Methodologies Using Component Analysis: The Contemporary Affirmation of The Recent Literature

    Get PDF
    This paper explored the contemporary affirmation of the recent literature in the context of face recognition systems, a review motivated by contradictory claims in the literature. This paper shows how the relative performance of recent claims based on methodologies such as PCA and ICA, which are depend on the task statement. It then explores the space of each model acclaimed in recent literature. In the process, this paper verifies the results of many of the face recognition models in the literature, and relates them to each other and to this work

    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

    Gabor-based Face Recognition with Illumination Variation using Subspace-Linear Discriminant Analysis

                Face recognition has been an active research topic in the past few decades due to its potential applications. Accurate face recognition is still a difficult task, especially in the case that illumination is unconstrained. This paper presents an efficient method for the recognition of faces with different illumination by using Gabor features, which are extracted by using log-Gabor filters of six orientations and four scales. By Using sliding window algorithm, these features are extracted at image block-regions. Extracted features are passed to the principal component analysis (PCA) and then to linear discriminant analysis (LDA). For development and testing we used facial images from the Yale-B databases. The proposed method achieved 86–100 % rank 1 recognition rate
