AbstractThe authors tested face discrimination, face recognition, object discrimination, and object recognition in two face transplantation patients (FTPs) who had facial injury since infancy, a patient who had a facial surgery due to a recent wound, and two control subjects. In Experiment 1, the authors showed them original faces and morphed forms of those faces and asked them to rate the similarity between the two. In Experiment 2, they showed old, new, and implicit faces and asked whether they recognized them or not. In Experiment 3, they showed them original objects and morphed forms of those objects and asked them to rate the similarity between the two. In Experiment 4, they showed old, new, and implicit objects and asked whether they recognized them or not. Object discrimination and object recognition performance did not differ between the FTPs and the controls. However, the face discrimination performance of FTP2 and face recognition performance of the FTP1 were poorer than that of the controls were. Therefore, the authors concluded that the structure of the face might affect face processing.

It is an open question to learn an over-complete dictionary from a limited number of face samples, and the inherent attributes of the samples are underutilized. Besides, the recognition performance may be adversely affected by the noise (and outliers), and the strict binary label based linear classifier is not appropriate for face recognition. To solve above problems, we propose a virtual samples based robust block-diagonal dictionary learning for face recognition. In the proposed model, the original samples and virtual samples are combined to solve the small sample size problem, and both the structure constraint and the low rank constraint are exploited to preserve the intrinsic attributes of the samples. In addition, the fidelity term can effectively reduce negative effects of noise (and outliers), and the ε-dragging is utilized to promote the performance of the linear classifier. Finally, extensive experiments are conducted in comparison with many state-of-the-art methods on benchmark face datasets, and experimental results demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed method.

Improved Technique

This manuscript presents an improved system research that can detect and recognize the person in 3D space automatically and without the interaction of the people's faces. This system is based not only on a quantum computation and measurements to extract the vector features in the phase of characterization but also on learning algorithm (using SVM) to classify and recognize the person. This research presents an improved technique for automatic 3D face recognition using anthropometric proportions and measurement to detect and extract the area of interest which is unaffected by facial expression. This approach is able to treat incomplete and noisy images and reject the non-facial areas automatically. Moreover, it can deal with the presence of holes in the meshed and textured 3D image. It is also stable against small translation and rotation of the face. All the experimental tests have been done with two 3D face datasets FRAV 3D and GAVAB. Therefore, the test's results of the proposed approach are promising because they showed that it is competitive comparable to similar approaches in terms of accuracy, robustness, and flexibility. It achieves a high recognition performance rate of 95.35% for faces with neutral and non-neutral expressions for the identification and 98.36% for the authentification with GAVAB and 100% with some gallery of FRAV 3D datasets.

Recently, face datasets containing celebrities photos with facial makeup are growing at exponential rates, making their recognition very challenging. Existing face recognition methods rely on feature extraction and reference reranking to improve the performance. However face images with facial makeup carry inherent ambiguity due to artificial colors, shading, contouring, and varying skin tones, making recognition task more difficult. The problem becomes more confound as the makeup alters the bilateral size and symmetry of the certain face components such as eyes and lips affecting the distinctiveness of faces. The ambiguity becomes even worse when different days bring different facial makeup for celebrities owing to the context of interpersonal situations and current societal makeup trends. To cope with these artificial effects, we propose to use a deep convolutional neural network (dCNN) using augmented face dataset to extract discriminative features from face images containing synthetic makeup variations. The augmented dataset containing original face images and those with synthetic make up variations allows dCNN to learn face features in a variety of facial makeup. We also evaluate the role of partial and full makeup in face images to improve the recognition performance. The experimental results on two challenging face datasets show that the proposed approach can compete with the state of the art.

Fuzzy C Means Clustering

Now a days one of the critical factors that affects the recognition performance of any face recognition system is partial occlusion. The paper addresses face recognition in the presence of sunglasses and scarf occlusion. The face recognition approach that we proposed, detects the face region that is not occluded and then uses this region to obtain the face recognition. To segment the occluded and non-occluded parts, adaptive Fuzzy C-Means Clustering is used and for recognition Minimum Cost Sub-Block Matching Distance(MCSBMD) are used. The input face image is divided in to number of sub blocks and each block is checked if occlusion present or not and only from non-occluded blocks MWLBP features are extracted and are used for classification. Experiment results shows our method is giving promising results when compared to the other conventional techniques.
