Hand recognition is one of the popular biometry methods for access control systems. In this paper, a new scheme for personal recognition using thermal images of the hand and an extension neural network (ENN) is presented. The features of the recognition system are extracted from gray level hand images, which are taken by an infrared camera. The main advantage of the thermal image is that it can reduce errors and noise in the features extracted stage, which is most important to increase the accuracy of recognition systems. Moreover, a new recognition method based on the ENN is proposed to perform the core functions of the hand recognition system. The proposed ENN-based recognition method also permits rapid adaptive processing for a new pattern, as it only tunes the boundaries of classified features or adds a new neural node. It is feasible to implement the proposed method on a Microcomputer for a portable personal recognition device. From the tested examples, the proposed method has a significantly high degree of recognition accuracy and shows good tolerance to errors added.

AbstractIndividual identification is an important technique in animal research that requires researcher training and specialized skillsets. Face recognition systems using artificial intelligence (AI) deep learning have been put into practical use to identify in humans and animals, but a large number of annotated learning images are required for system construction. In wildlife research cases, it is difficult to prepare a large amount of learning images, which may be why systems using AI have not been widely used in field research. To investigate the development of a system that identifies individuals using a small number of learning images, we constructed a system to identify individual Japanese macaques (Macaca fuscata yakui) with a low error rate from an average of 20 images per individual. The characteristics of this system were augmentation of data, simultaneous determination by four individual identification models and identification from a majority of five frames to ensure reliability. This technology has a high degree of utility for various stakeholders and it is expected that it will advance the development of individual identification systems by AI that can be widely used in field research.

Handwritten recognition systems are a dynamic field of research in areas of artificial intelligence. Many smart devices available in the market such as pen-based computers, tablets, mobiles with handwritten recognition technology need to rely on efficient handwritten recognition systems. In this paper we present a novel Arabic character handwritten recognition system based on a hybrid method consisting of a genetic algorithm and a Learning vector quantization (LVQ) neural network. Sixty different handwritten Arabic character datasets are used for training the neural network. Each character dataset contains 28 letters written twice with 15 distinct shaped alphabets, and each handwritten Arabic letter is represented by a binary matrix that is used as an input to a genetic algorithm for feature selection and dimension reduction to include only the most effective features to be fed to the LVQ classifier. The recognition process in the system involves several essential steps such as: handwritten letter acquisition, dataset preparation, feature selection, training, and recognition. Comparing our results to those acquired by the whole feature dataset without selection, and to the results using other classification algorithms confirms the effectiveness of our proposed handwritten recognition system with an accuracy of 95.4%, hence, showing a promising potential for improving future handwritten Arabic recognition devices in the market.

<p>In the area of computer vision, face recognition is a challenging task because of the pose, facial expression, and illumination variations. The performance of face recognition systems reduces in an unconstrained environment. In this work, a new face recognition approach is proposed using a guided image filter, and a convolutional neural network (CNN). The guided image filter is a smoothing operator and performs well near the edges. Initially, the ViolaJones algorithm is used to detect the face region and then smoothened by a guided image filter. Later the proposed CNN is used to extract the features and recognize the faces. The experiments were performed on face databases like ORL, JAFFE, and YALE and attained a recognition rate of 98.33%, 99.53%, and 98.65% respectively. The experimental results show that the suggested face recognition method attains good results than some of the state-of-the-art techniques.</p>

With the advancements in the field of artificial intelligence, speech recognition based applications are becoming more and more popular in the recent years. Researchers working in many areas including linguistics, engineering, psychology, etc. have been trying to address various aspects relating to speech recognition in different natural languages around the globe. Although many interactive speech applications in "well-resourced" major languages are being developed, uses of these applications are still limited due to language barrier. Hence, researchers have also been concentrating to design speech recognition system in various under-resourced languages. Sylheti is one of such under-resourced languages primarily spoken in the Sylhet division of Bangladesh and also spoken in the southern part of Assam, India. This paper has two contributions: i) it presents a new speech database of isolated words for the Sylheti language, and ii) it presents speech recognition systems for the Sylheti language to recognize isolated Sylheti words by applying two variants of neural network classifiers. The performances of these recognition systems are evaluated with the proposed database and the observations are presented.

Abstract With the advent of conversational voice recognition systems growing such as Alexa, SIRI, OK Google, etc., natural language conversational systems including Chatbot and voice recognition systems are in new high and determining the age of a speaker is critical for setting the pertinent context. Age can be inferred from the speech signal by inferring various factors such as physical attributes of voice, linguistic attributes, frequency, speech rate,etc., The proposed research article discusses about extracting the spectral features of speech such as Cepstral Coefficients, Spectral Decrease, Centroid, Flatness, Spectral Entropy, F0DIFF, Jitter and Shimmer as inputs. This would help in classifying speaker age through deep learning techniques. A novel approach is addressed along with the model for implementation using Deep Neural Network and Convolutional Neural Network for classifying the features using three different classifiers which are Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM), Support Vector Machine (SVM) and GMM-SVM. The results obtained from the proposed system would outline the performance in speaker age recognition.

Recently, human recognition systems based on deep machine learning, in particular, on the basis of deep neural networks, have become widespread. In this regard, research has become relevant in the field of protection against recognition by such systems. In this article a method of designing a specially selected type of camouflage applied to clothing, which will protect a person both from recognition by a human observer and from a deep neural network recognition system is proposed. This type of camouflage is constructed on the basis of competitive examples that are generated by a deep neural network. The article describes experiments on human protection from recognition by Faster-RCNN (Regional Convolution Neural Networks) Inception V2 and Faster-RCNN ResNet101 systems. However, the implementation of camouflage is considered on a macro level, which assesses the combination of the camouflage and background, and the micro level which analyzes the relationship between the properties of individual regions of the camouflage properties of the adjacent regions, with constraints on their continuity, smoothness, closure, asymmetry. The dependence of camouflage characteristics on the conditions of observation of the object and the environment is also considered: the transparency of the atmosphere, the intensity of pixels of the sky horizon and the background, the level of contrast of the background and the camouflaged object, the distance to the object. As an example of a possible attack, a “black box” attack, which involves preliminary testing of generated adversarial examples on a target recognition system without knowledge of the internal structure of this system, is considered. Results of these experiments showed the high efficiency of the proposed method in the virtual world, when there is access to each pixel of the image supplied to the input systems. In the real world, results are less impressive, which can be explained by the distortion of colors when printing on the fabric, as well as the lack of spatial resolution of this print.

Face recognition is the technology that verifies or recognizes faces from images, videos, or real-time streams. It can be used in security or employee attendance systems. Face recognition systems may encounter some attacks that reduce their ability to recognize faces properly. So, many noisy images mixed with original ones lead to confusion in the results. Various attacks that exploit this weakness affect the face recognition systems such as Fast Gradient Sign Method (FGSM), Deep Fool, and Projected Gradient Descent (PGD). This paper proposes a method to protect the face recognition system against these attacks by distorting images through different attacks, then training the recognition deep network model, specifically Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), using the original and distorted images. Diverse experiments have been conducted using combinations of original and distorted images to test the effectiveness of the system. The system showed an accuracy of 93% using FGSM attack, 97% using deep fool, and 95% using PGD.
