The performances of the current face recognition systems suffer heavily from the variations in lighting. To deal with this problem, this paper presents an illumination normalization approach by relighting face images to a canonical illumination based on the harmonic images model. Benefiting from the observations that human faces share similar shape, and the albedos of the face surfaces are quasi-constant, we first estimate the nine low-frequency components of the illumination from the input facial image. The facial image is then normalized to the canonical illumination by re-rendering it using the illumination ratio image technique. For the purpose of face recognition, two kinds of canonical illuminations, the uniform illumination and a frontal flash with the ambient lights, are considered, among which the former encodes merely the texture information, while the latter encodes both the texture and shading information. Our experiments on the CMU-PIE face database and the Yale B face database have shown that the proposed relighting normalization can significantly improve the performance of a face recognition system when the probes are collected under varying lighting conditions.

We Developed An Associate Approach To The Detection And Identification Of Human Faces And Describe A Operating, Near-Real-Time Face Recognition System That Tracks A Subject’s Face And So Acknowledges The Person By Comparison Characteristics Of The Face To Database. Our Approach Treats Face Recognition As A Two-Dimensional Recognition Downside, Taking Advantage Of The Very Fact That Faces Area Unit Area Unit Normally Upright And Therefore Is Also Delineate By A Small Set Of 2-D Characteristic Views. Face Pictures Are Projected Onto A Feature Area (“Face Space”) That Best Encodes The Variation Among Database Images. The Face Area Is Outlined By The “Eigenfaces”, That Area Unit The Eigenvectors Of The Set Of Faces; They Do Not Essentially Correspond To Isolated Options Like Eyes, Ears, And Noses. The Framework Provides The Flexibility To Be Told To Acknowledge New Faces

This paper deals with the proposed system for smart and savvy door lock recognition system which is essentially for identification of human faces and mainly for home security. This is divided into two sub systems. First is image capturing, then comes face detection and recognition and finally automatic door access management. Open CV is mainly used for Face Recognition because it uses Eigen faces which compares the face images and produces it without losing vital face features, facial images of various persons are going to be stored in database. The purpose of the paper is to take face recognition to height which can replace the use of standard passwords, pins and patterns, adding more security to our life. The process carried out by raspberry pi is fast and makes the system work smoother.

This Automatic age dependent face recognition system is developed. This approach is based on the Principle Component Analysis (PCA). Eigen face approach is used for both age prediction and face recognition. Face database is created by aging groups individually. The age prediction is carried out by projecting a new face image into this face space and then comparing its position in the face space with those of known faces. After that we find the best match in the related face database, the Eigen face representation of an input image is first obtained. Then it is compared with the Eigen face representation of face in the database. The closest one is the match. It will be reduced the time complexity using this approach. The proposed method preserves the identity of the subject while enforcing a realistic recognition effects on adult facial images between 15 to 70 years old. The accuracy of the system is analyzed by the variation on the range of the age groups. The efficiency of the system can be confirmed through the experimental results.

Attendance management can become a tedious task for teachers if it is performed manually.. This problem can be solved with the help of an automatic attendance management system. But validation is one of the main issues in the system. Generally, biometrics are used in the smart automatic attendance system. Managing attendance with the help of face recognition is one of the biometric methods with better efficiency as compared to others. Smart Attendance with the help of instant face recognition is a real-life solution that helps in handling daily life activities and maintaining a student attendance system. Face recognition-based attendance system uses face biometrics which is based on high resolution monitor video and other technologies to recognize the face of the student. In project, the system will be able to find and recognize human faces fast and accurately with the help of images or videos that will be captured through a surveillance camera. It will convert the frames of the video into images so that our system can easily search that image in the attendance database.

Illumination variation makes automatic face recognition a challenging task, especially in low light environments. A very simple and efficient novel low-light image denoising of low frequency noise (DeLFN) is proposed. The noise frequency distribution of low-light images is presented based on massive experimental results. The low and very low frequency noise are dominant in low light conditions. DeLFN is a three-level image denoising method. The first level denoises mixed noises by histogram equalization (HE) to improve overall contrast. The second level denoises low frequency noise by logarithmic transformation (LOG) to enhance the image detail. The third level denoises residual very low frequency noise by high-pass filtering to recover more features of the true images. The PCA (Principal Component Analysis) recognition method is applied to test recognition rate of the preprocessed face images with DeLFN. DeLFN are compared with several representative illumination preprocessing methods on the Yale Face Database B, the Extended Yale face database B, and the CMU PIE face database, respectively. DeLFN not only outperformed other algorithms in improving visual quality and face recognition rate, but also is simpler and computationally efficient for real time applications.


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.

The Face recognition and image or video recognition are popular research topics in biometric technology. Real-time face recognition is an exciting field and a rapidly evolving issue. Key component analysis (PCA) may be a statistical technique collectively called correlational analysis . The goal of PCA is to scale back the massive amount of knowledge storage to the dimensions of the functional space required to render the face recognition system. The wide one-dimensional pixel vector generated from the two-dimensional image of the face and therefore the basic elements of the spatial function are designed for face recognition using PCA. this is often the projection of your own space. Sufficient space is decided by the brand. specialise in the eigenvectors of the covariance matrix of the fingerprint image collection. i'm building a camera-based real-time face recognition system and installing an algorithm. Use OpenCV, Haar Cascade, Eigen face, Fisher Face, LBPH and Python for program development.

Face recognition using thermal imaging has the main advantage of being less affected by lighting conditions compared to images in the visible spectrum. However, there are factors such as the process of human thermoregulation that cause variations in the surface temperature of the face. These variations cause recognition systems to lose effectiveness. In particular, alcohol intake causes changes in the surface temperature of the face. It is of high relevance to identify not only if a person is drunk but also their identity. In this paper, we present a technique for face recognition based on thermal face images of drunk people. For the experiments, the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Valparaíso-Drunk Thermal Face database (PUCV-DTF) was used. The recognition system was carried out by using local binary patterns (LBPs). The LBP features were obtained from the bioheat model from thermal image representation and a fusion of thermal images and a vascular network extracted from the same image. The feature vector for each image is formed by the concatenation of the LBP histogram of the thermogram with an anisotropic filter and the fused image, respectively. The proposed technique has an average percentage of 99.63% in the Rank-10 cumulative classification; this performance is superior compared to using LBP in thermal images that do not use the bioheat model.
