Detection And Recognition

Principal component analysis (PCA) has different important applications, especially in pattern detection such as face detection and recognition. In real-time applications, response time must be as fast as possible. For this, we propose a new PCA implementation for fast face detection based on the cross-correlation in the frequency domain between the input image and eigenvectors (weights). Simulation results demonstrate that our proposal is faster than the conventional one, and experimental results for different images show good performance.

Human Faces

Face detection is integral to any automatic face recognition system. The goal of this research is to develop a system that performs the task of human face detection automatically in a scene. A system to correctly locate and identify human faces will find several applications, some examples are criminal identification and authentication in secure systems. This work presents a new approach based on principal component analysis. Face silhouettes instead of intensity images are used for this research. It results in reduction in both space and processing time. A set of basis face silhouettes are obtained using principal component analysis. These are then used with a Hough-like technique to detect faces. The results show that the approach is robust, accurate and reasonably fast.
