This paper introduces a novel method for the recognition of human faces in two-dimensional digital images using a new feature extraction method and Radial Basis Function (RBF) neural network with a Hybrid Learning Algorithm (HLA) as classifier. The proposed feature extraction method includes human face localization derived from the shape information using a proposed distance measure as Facial Candidate Threshold (FCT) as well as Pseudo Zernike Moment Invariant (PZMI) with a newly defined parameter named Correct Information Ratio (CIR) of images for disregarding irrelevant information of face images. In this paper, the effect of these parameters in disregarding irrelevant information in recognition rate improvement is studied. Also we evaluate the effect of orders of PZMI in recognition rate of the proposed technique as well as learning speed. Simulation results on the face database of Olivetti Research Laboratory (ORL) indicate that high order PZMI together with the derived face localization technique for extraction of feature data yielded a recognition rate of 99.3%.

This paper introduces an efficient method for the recognition of human faces in 2D digital images using a feature extraction technique that combines the global and local information in frontal view of facial images. The proposed feature extraction includes human face localization derived from the shape information. Efficient parameters are defined to eliminate irrelevant data while Pseudo Zernike Moments (PZM) with a new moment orders selection method is introduced as face features. The proposed method while yields better recognition rate, also reduces the classifier complexity. This paper also examines application of various feature domains as face features using the face localization method. These include Principle Component Analysis (PCA) and Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT). The Radial Basis Function (RBF) neural network has been used as the classifier and we have shown that the proposed feature extraction method requires an RBF neural network classifier with a simpler structure and faster training phase that is less sensitive to select training and testing images. Simulation results on the Olivetti Research Laboratory (ORL) database and comparison with other techniques indicate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

To carry out an effective classification and recognition for target, this paper studied the target owned characteristics, discussed a decryption algorithm, gave a feature extraction method based on the decryption process, and extracted the feature of palmprint in region of interest. Moreover, this paper used the wavelet transform to extract the energy feature of target, gave an approach on matching and recognition to improve the correctness and efficiency of existing recognition approaches, and compared it with existing approaches of palmprint recognition by experiments. The experiment results show that the correct recognition rate of the approach in this paper is improved averagely by 2.34% than that of the existing recognition approaches.

To address the problem that the dimension of the feature vector extracted by Local Binary Pattern (LBP) for face recognition is too high and Principal Component Analysis (PCA) extract features are not the best classification features, an efficient feature extraction method using LBP, PCA and Maximum scatter difference (MSD) has been introduced in this paper. The original face image is firstly divided into sub-images, then the LBP operator is applied to extract the histogram feature. and the feature dimensions are further reduced by using PCA. Finally,MSD is performed on the reduced PCA-based feature.The experimental results on ORL and Yale database demonstrate that the proposed method can classify more effectively and can get higher recognition rate than the traditional recognition methods.
