2D Face Recognition System Based on Selected Gabor Filters and Linear Discriminant Analysis LDA
We present a new approach for face recognition system. The method is based on
2D face image features using subset of non-correlated and Orthogonal Gabor
Filters instead of using the whole Gabor Filter Bank, then compressing the
output feature vector using Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA). The face image
has been enhanced using multi stage image processing technique to normalize it
and compensate for illumination variation. Experimental results show that the
proposed system is effective for both dimension reduction and good recognition
performance when compared to the complete Gabor filter bank. The system has
been tested using CASIA, ORL and Cropped YaleB 2D face images Databases and
achieved average recognition rate of 98.9 %
Decorrelation of Neutral Vector Variables: Theory and Applications
In this paper, we propose novel strategies for neutral vector variable
decorrelation. Two fundamental invertible transformations, namely serial
nonlinear transformation and parallel nonlinear transformation, are proposed to
carry out the decorrelation. For a neutral vector variable, which is not
multivariate Gaussian distributed, the conventional principal component
analysis (PCA) cannot yield mutually independent scalar variables. With the two
proposed transformations, a highly negatively correlated neutral vector can be
transformed to a set of mutually independent scalar variables with the same
degrees of freedom. We also evaluate the decorrelation performances for the
vectors generated from a single Dirichlet distribution and a mixture of
Dirichlet distributions. The mutual independence is verified with the distance
correlation measurement. The advantages of the proposed decorrelation
strategies are intensively studied and demonstrated with synthesized data and
practical application evaluations
Hybrid Techniques On Color And Multispectral Image For Compression
Image Compression is a technique to reduce the number of bits required to represent and store an image. This technique is also used to compress two dimensional color shapes without loss of data as well as quality of the Image. Even though Simple Principal Component Analysis can apply to make enough compression on multispectral image, it needs to extend another version called Enhanced PCA(E-PCA). The given multispectral image is converted into component image and transformed as Column Vector with help of E-PCA. Covariance matrix and eigen values are derived from vector. Multispectral images are reconstructed using only few principal component images with the largest variance of eigen value. Then the component image is divided into block. After finding block sum value, mean value, the number of bits required to represent an image can be reduced by E-BTC model. The features are extracted and constructed in Table form. The proposed algorithm is repeated for all multispectral images as well as color image in the database. Finally, compression ratio table is generated. This proposed algorithm is tested and implemented on various parameters such as MSE, PSNR. These experiments are initially carried out on the standard color image and are to be followed by multispectral imager using MATLAB
