Face recognition has received a great attention from a lot of researchers in computer vision, pattern recognition, and human machine computer interfaces in recent years. Designing a face recognition system is a complex task due to the wide variety of illumination, pose, and facial expression. A lot of approaches have been developed to find the optimal space in which face feature descriptors are well distinguished and separated. Face representation using Gabor features and discrete wavelet has attracted considerable attention in computer vision and image processing. We describe in this paper a face recognition system using artificial neural networks like multilayer perceptron (MLP) and radial basis function (RBF) where Gabor and discrete wavelet based feature extraction methods are proposed for the extraction of features from facial images using two facial databases: the ORL and computer vision. Good recognition rate was obtained using Gabor and DWT parameterization with MLP classifier applied for computer vision dataset.

Many researches have been going on since last two decades for object recognition, shape matching, and pattern recognition in the field of computer vision. Face recognition is one of the important issues in object recognition and computer vision. Many face image datasets, related competitions, and evaluation programs have encouraged innovation, producing more powerful facial recognition technology with promising results. In recent years, we have witnessed tremendous improvements in face recognition performance from complex deep neural network architectures trained on millions of face images. Face recognition is the most important biometric and stills many challenges such as pose variation, illumination variation, etc. In order to achieve the desired performance when deploying in reality, the methods depend on many factors. One of the main factors is quality of input image. Therefore, facial recognition systems is installed outdoors which are always affected by extreme weather events such as haze, fog. The existence of haze dramatically degrades the visibility of outdoor images captured in inclement weather and affects many high-level computer vision tasks such as detection and recognition system. In this paper, we propose a preprocessing method to remove haze from input images that enhances their quality to improve effectiveness and recognition rate for face identification based on Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) based on the available datasets and our self-built data. To perform the proposed method for outdoor face recognition system, we have improved the system accuracy from 90.53% to 98.14%. The results show that the proposed method improves the quality of the image with other traditional methods.

In this paper, a robust and efficient face recognition system based on luminance distribution by using maximum likelihood estimation is proposed. The distribution of luminance components of the face region is acquired and applied to maximum likelihood test for face matching. The experimental results showed that the proposed method has a high recognition rate and requires less computation time.

Face Recognition is the ability to find and detect a person by their facial attributes. Face is a multi dimensional and thus requires a considerable measure of scientific calculations. Face recognition system is very useful and important for security, law authorization applications, client confirmation and so forth. Hence there is a need for an efficient and cost effective system. There are numerous techniques that are as of now proposed with low Recognition rate and high false alarm rate. Hence the major task of the research is to develop face recognition system with improved accuracy and improved recognition time. Our objective is to implementing Raspberry Pi based face recognition system using conventional face detection and recognition techniques such as A Haar cascade classifier is trained for detection and Local Binary Pattern (LBP) as a feature extraction technique. With the use of the Raspberry Pi kit, we go for influencing the framework with less cost and simple to use, with high performance.

Face recognition is one of the important applications of image processing and it has gained significant attention in wide range of law enforcement areas in which security is of prime concern. Although the existing automated machine recognition systems have certain level of maturity but their accomplishments are limited due to real time challenges. Face recognition systems are impressively sensitive to appearance variations due to lighting, expression and aging. The major metric in modeling the performance of a face recognition system is its accuracy of recognition. This paper proposes a novel method which improves the recognition accuracy as well as avoids face datasets being tampered through image splicing techniques. Proposed method uses a non-statistical procedure which avoids training step for face samples thereby avoiding generalizability problem which is caused due to statistical learning procedure. This proposed method performs well with images with partial occlusion and images with lighting variations as the local patch of the face is divided into several different patches. The performance improvement is shown considerably high in terms of recognition rate and storage space by storing train images in compressed domain and selecting significant features from superset of feature vectors for actual recognition.

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.

In the practical reality of face recognition applications, the human face can have only a limited number of training images. However, it is known that, in general, increasing the number of training images also increases the performance of face recognition systems. In this case, a new set of training samples can be generated from the original samples, using the symmetry property of the face. Although many face recognition methods have been proposed in the literature, a robust face recognition system is still a challenging task. In this paper, recognition performance was improved by using the property of face symmetry. Moreover, the effects of illumination and pose variations were reduced. A Two-Dimensional Discrete Wavelet Transform, based on the Local Binary Pattern, which is a new approach for face recognition using symmetry, has been presented. The method has three main stages, preprocessing, feature extraction, and classification. A Two-Dimensional Discrete Wavelet Transform with Single-Level and Gaussian Low-Pass Filter were used, separately, for preprocessing. The Local Binary Pattern, Gray Level Co-Occurrence Matrix, and the Gabor filter were used for feature extraction, and the Euclidean Distance was used for classification. The proposed method was implemented and evaluated using the Olivetti Research Laboratory (ORL) and Yale datasets. This study also examined the importance of the preprocessing stage in a face recognition system. The experimental results showed that the proposed method had a recognition accuracy of 100%, for both the ORL and Yale datasets, and these recognition rates were higher than the methods in the literature.
