The two-dimensional principal component analysis (2D-PCA) method has been widely applied in fields of image classification, computer vision, signal processing and pattern recognition. The 2D-PCA algorithm also has a satisfactory performance in both theoretical research and real-world applications. It not only retains main information of the original face images, but also decreases the dimension of original face images. In this paper, we integrate the 2D-PCA and spare representation classification (SRC) method to distinguish face images, which has great performance in face recognition. The novel representation of original face image obtained using 2D-PCA is complementary with original face image, so that the fusion of them can obviously improve the accuracy of face recognition. This is also attributed to the fact the features obtained using 2D-PCA are usually more robust than original face image matrices. The experiments of face recognition demonstrate that the combination of original face images and new representations of the original face images is more effective than the only original images. Especially, the simultaneous use of the 2D-PCA method and sparse representation can extremely improve accuracy in image classification. In this paper, the adaptive weighted fusion scheme automatically obtains optimal weights and it has no any parameter. The proposed method is not only simple and easy to achieve, but also obtains high accuracy in face recognition.

Face recognition (FR) is an important and challenging task in pattern recognition and has many important practical applications. This paper presents an improved technique for Face Recognition, which consists of two phases where in each phase; a technique is employed effectively that is used extensively in computer vision and pattern recognition. Initially, the Robust Principal Component Analysis (RPCA) is used specifically in the first phase, which is employed to reduce dimensionality and to extract abstract features of faces. The framework of the second phase is sparse representation based classification (SRC) and introduced metaface learning (MFL) of face images. Experiments for face recognition have been performed on ORL and AR face database. It is shown that the proposed method can perform much best than other methods. And with the proposed method, we can obtain a best understanding of data.

This paper proposed a new face recognition algorithm based on Haar-Like features and Gentle Adaboost feature selection via sparse representation. Firstly, All the images including face images and non face images are normalized to size and then Haar-Like features are extracted . The number of Haar-Like features can be as large as 12,519. In order to reduce the feature dimension and retain the most effective features for face recognition, Gentle Adaboost algorithm is used for feature selection. Selected features are used for face recognition via sparse representation classification (SRC) algorithm. Testing experiments were carried out on the AR database to test the performance of the new proposed algorithm. Compared with traditional algorithms like NS, NN, SRC, and SVM, the new algorithm achieved a better recognition rate. The effect of face recognition rate changing with feature dimension showed that the new proposed algorithm performed a higher recognition rate than SRC algorithm all the time with the increasing of feature dimension, which fully proved the effectiveness and superiority of the new proposed algorithm.

A new similarity measurement standard is proposed, namely background similarity matching. Learning algorithm based on kernel function is utilized in the method for feature extraction and classification of face image. Meanwhile, a real-time video face recognition method is proposed, image binary algorithm in similarity calculation is introduced, and a video face recognition system is designed and implemented [1-2]. The system is provided with a camera to obtain face images, and face recognition is realized through image preprocessing, face detection and positioning, feature extraction, feature learning and matching. Design, image preprocessing, feature positioning and extraction, face recognition and other major technologies of face recognition systems are introduced in details. Lookup mode from top down is improved, thereby improving lookup accuracy and speed [3-4]. The experimental results showed that the method has high recognition rate. Higher recognition rate still can be obtained even for limited change images of face images and face gesture with slightly uneven illumination. Meanwhile, training speed and recognition speed of the method are very fast, thereby fully meeting real-time requirements of face recognition system [5]. The system has certain face recognition function and can well recognize front faces.

Face recognition for a single sample per person is challenging due to the lack of sufficient sample information. However, using generic training set to learn an auxiliary dictionary is an effective way to alleviate this problem. Considering generic training sample of diversity, we proposed an algorithm of auxiliary dictionary of diversity learning (ADDL). We first produced virtual face images by mirror images, square block occlusion and grey transform, and then learned an auxiliary dictionary of diversity using a designed objective function. Considering patch-based method can reduce the influence of variations, we seek extended sparse representation with l2-minimization for each probe patch. Experimental results in the CMUPIE, Extended Yale B and LFW datasets demonstrate that ADDL performs better than other related algorithms.

Secure user access to devices and datasets is widely enabled by fingerprint or face recognition. Organization of the necessarily large secure digital object datasets, with objects having content that may consist of images, text, video or audio, involves efficient classification and feature retrieval processing. This usually will require multidimensional methods applicable to data that is represented through a family of probability distributions. Then information geometry is an appropriate context in which to provide for such analytic work, whether with maximum likelihood fitted distributions or empirical frequency distributions. The important provision is of a natural geometric measure structure on families of probability distributions by representing them as Riemannian manifolds. Then the distributions are points lying in this geometrical manifold, different features can be identified and dissimilarities computed, so that neighbourhoods of objects nearby a given example object can be constructed. This can reveal clustering and projections onto smaller eigen-subspaces which can make comparisons easier to interpret. Geodesic distances can be used as a natural dissimilarity metric applied over data described by probability distributions. Exploring this property, we propose a new face recognition method which scores dissimilarities between face images by multiplying geodesic distance approximations between 3-variate RGB Gaussians representative of colour face images, and also obtaining joint probabilities. The experimental results show that this new method is more successful in recognition rates than published comparative state-of-the-art methods.

Internet of Things is considerably increasing the levels of convenience at homes. The smart door lock is an entry product for smart homes. This work used Raspberry Pi, because of its low cost, as the main control board to apply face recognition technology to a door lock. The installation of the control sensing module with the GPIO expansion function of Raspberry Pi also improved the antitheft mechanism of the door lock. For ease of use, a mobile application (hereafter, app) was developed for users to upload their face images for processing. The app sends the images to Firebase and then the program downloads the images and captures the face as a training set. The face detection system was designed on the basis of machine learning and equipped with a Haar built-in OpenCV graphics recognition program. The system used four training methods: convolutional neural network, VGG-16, VGG-19, and ResNet50. After the training process, the program could recognize the user’s face to open the door lock. A prototype was constructed that could control the door lock and the antitheft system and stream real-time images from the camera to the app.
