Variations in illumination is one of major limiting factors of face recognition system performance. The effect of changes in the incident light on face images is analyzed, as well as its influence on the low frequency components of the image. Starting from this analysis, a new photometric normalization method for illumination invariant face recognition is presented. Low-frequency Discrete Cosine Transform coefficients in the logarithmic domain are used in a local way to reconstruct a slowly varying component of the face image which is caused by illumination. After smoothing, this component is subtracted from the original logarithmic image to compensate for illumination variations. Compared to other preprocessing algorithms, our method achieved a very good performance with a total error rate very similar to that produced by the best performing state-of-the-art algorithm. An in-depth analysis of the two preprocessing methods revealed notable differences in their behavior, which is exploited in a multiple classifier fusion framework to achieve further performance improvement. The superiority of the proposal is demonstrated in both face verification and identification experiments.

Dct Coefficients

Proposed is an efficient face recognition algorithm using the discrete cosine transform DCT Technique for reducing dimensionality and image parameterization. These DCT coefficients are examined by a MLP (Multi-Layer Perceptron) and radial basis function RBF neural networks. Their purpose is to present a face recognition system that is a combination of discrete cosine transform (DCT) algorithm with a MLP and RBF neural networks. Neural networks have been widely applied in pattern recognition for the reason that neural-networks-based classifiers can incorporate both statistical and structural information and achieve better performance than the simple minimum distance classifiers. The authors demonstrate experimentally that when DCT coefficients are fed into a back propagation neural network for classification, a high recognition rate can be achieved by using a very small proportion of transform coefficients. Comparison with other statistical methods like Principal component Analysis (PCA) and Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) is presented. Their face recognition system is tested on the computer vision science research projects and the ORL database.

Biometric Information

Face recognition is a computer vision application based on biometric information for automatic person identification or verification from image sequence or a video frame. In this context DCT is the easy technique to determine significant parameters. Until now the main object is selection of the coefficients to obtain the best recognition. Many techniques rely on premasking windows to discard the high and low coefficients to enhance performance. However, the problem resides in the shape and size of premask. To improve discriminator ability in discrete cosine transform domain, we used fractional coefficients of the transformed images with discrete cosine transform to limit the coefficients area for a better performance system. Then from the selected bands, we use the discrimination power analysis to search for the coefficients having the highest power to discriminate different classes from each other. Feature selection algorithm is a key issue in all pattern recognition system, in fact this algorithm is utilized to define features vector among several ones, where these features are selected according a specified discrimination criterion. Many classifiers are used to evaluate our approach like, support vector machine and random forests. The proposed approach is validated with Yale and ORL Face databases. Experimental results prove the sufficiency of this method in face and facial expression recognition field.

Tone Recognition

The conducted research proposes a feature extraction and classification combination method that is used in a tone recognition system for musical instruments. It is expected that by implementing this combination, the tone recognition system will require fewer feature extraction coefficients than those previously investigated. The proposed combination comprises of feature extraction using discrete cosine transform (DCT) and classification using support vector machine (SVM). Bellyra, clarinet, and pianica tones were used in the experiment, with each indicating a tone with one, several, or many major local peaks in the transform domain. Based on the results of the tests, the proposed combination is efficient enough to be used in a tone recognition system for musical instruments. This is indicated in recognizing a tone, it only needs at least eight feature extraction coefficients.

Face Images

A wide variety of systems require reliable person recognition schemes to either confirm or determine the identity of an individual requesting their services. The purpose of such schemes is to ensure that only a legitimate user and no one else access the rendered services. Examples of such applications include secure access to buildings, computer systems, laptops, cellular phones, and ATMs. Face can be used as Biometrics for person verification. Face is a complex multidimensional structure and needs a good computing techniques for recognition. We treats face recognition as a two-dimensional recognition problem. A well-known technique of Principal Component Analysis (PCA) is used for face recognition. Face images are projected onto a face space that encodes best variation among known face images. The face space is defined by Eigen face which are eigenvectors of the set of faces, which may not correspond to general facial features such as eyes, nose, lips. The system performs by projecting pre extracted face image onto a set of face space that represent significant variations among known face images. The variable reducing theory of PCA accounts for the smaller face space than the training set of face. A Multire solution features based pattern recognition system used for face recognition based on the combination of Radon and wavelet transforms. As the Radon transform is in-variant to rotation and a Wavelet Transform provides the multiple resolution. This technique is robust for face recognition. The technique computes Radon projections in different orientations and captures the directional features of face images. Further, the wavelet transform applied on Radon space provides multire solution features of the facial images. Being the line integral, Radon transform improves the low-frequency components that are useful in face recognition
