This paper presents a critical evaluation of multialgorithmic face recognition systems for human authentication in unconstrained environment. We propose different frameworks of multialgorithmic face recognition system combining holistic and texture methods. Our aim is to combine the uncorrelated methods of the face recognition that supplement each other and to produce a comprehensive representation of the biometric cue to achieve optimum recognition performance. The multialgorithmic frameworks are designed to combine different face recognition methods such as (i) Eigenfaces and local binary pattern (LBP), (ii) Fisherfaces and LBP, (iii) Eigenfaces and augmented local binary pattern (A-LBP), and (iv) Fisherfaces and A-LBP. The matching scores of these multialgorithmic frameworks are processed using different normalization techniques whereas their performance is evaluated using different fusion strategies. The robustness of proposed multialgorithmic frameworks of face recognition system is tested on publicly available databases, for example, AT & T (ORL) and Labeled Faces in the Wild (LFW). The experimental results show a significant improvement in recognition accuracies of the proposed frameworks of face recognition system in comparison to their individual methods. In particular, the performance of the multialgorithmic frameworks combining face recognition methods with the devised face recognition method such as A-LBP improves significantly.

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.

Attendance is important for university students. However, generic way of taking attendance in universities may include various problems. Hence, a face recognition system for attendance taking is one way to combat the problem. This paper will present an automated system that will automatically saves student’s attendance into the database using face recognition method. The paper will elaborate on student attendance system, image processing, face detection and face recognition. The face detection part will be done by using viola-jones algorithm method while the face recognition part will be carried on by using local binary pattern (LBP) method. The system will ensure that the attendance taking process will be faster and more accurate.

AbstractIn response to the COVID-19 pandemic, many governments around the world now recommend, or require, that their citizens cover the lower half of their face in public. Consequently, many people now wear surgical face masks in public. We investigated whether surgical face masks affected the performance of human observers, and a state-of-the-art face recognition system, on tasks of perceptual face matching. Participants judged whether two simultaneously presented face photographs showed the same person or two different people. We superimposed images of surgical masks over the faces, creating three different mask conditions: control (no masks), mixed (one face wearing a mask), and masked (both faces wearing masks). We found that surgical face masks have a large detrimental effect on human face matching performance, and that the degree of impairment is the same regardless of whether one or both faces in each pair are masked. Surprisingly, this impairment is similar in size for both familiar and unfamiliar faces. When matching masked faces, human observers are biased to reject unfamiliar faces as “mismatches” and to accept familiar faces as “matches”. Finally, the face recognition system showed very high classification accuracy for control and masked stimuli, even though it had not been trained to recognise masked faces. However, accuracy fell markedly when one face was masked and the other was not. Our findings demonstrate that surgical face masks impair the ability of humans, and naïve face recognition systems, to perform perceptual face matching tasks. Identification decisions for masked faces should be treated with caution.

Face recognition is gaining popularity as one of the biometrics methods for an attendance system in an organization. Due to the pandemic, the common face recognition system needs to be modified to meet the current needs, whereby facemask detection is necessary. The main objective of this paper is to investigate and develop a real-time face recognition system for the attendance system based on the current scenarios. The proposed framework consists of face detection, mask detection, face recognition, and attendance report generation modules. The face and facemask detection is performed using the haar cascade classifier. Two techniques for face recognition were investigated, the eigenfaces and local binary pattern histogram. The initial experimental results and implementation at Kuching Community College show the effectiveness of the system. For future work, an approach that is able to perform masked face recognition will be investigated.

Face recognition has now become one of the interesting fields of research and has received a substantial attention of researchers from all over the world. Face recognition techniques has been mostly used in the discipline of image analysis, image processing, etc. One of the face recognition techniques is used to develop a face recognition system to detect a human face in an image. In face recognition system a digital image with a human face is given as an input which extracts the significant features of face such as (eyes, nose, chin, cheeks, etc) to recognize a face in a digital image which is an exhausting task. Security of information is very salient feature and is difficult to achieve. Security cameras are present in offices, universities, banks, ATMs, etc. All these security cameras are embedded with face recognition systems. There are various algorithms which are used to solve this problem. This paper provides an overview of various techniques which are often used for this face recognition in a face recognition system. This paper is divided into five parts, first section concludes various face detection techniques, second section describes about image processing ,third section have details about face recognition techniques, fourth section describes various classification methods and last section concludes all of these sections.

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.

In the field of industries, businesses, and offices the use of security systems and administrative management through data input using a face recognition system is being developed. Following the era of technological advances, communication and information systems are widely used in various administrative operational activities and company security systems because it is assessed by using a system that is based on facial recognition security levels and more secure data accuracy, the use of such systems is considered to have its characteristics so it is very difficult for other parties to be able to engineer and manipulate data produced as a tool to support the company's decision. Related to this, causing the author is to try to research the detection of facial recognition that is present in the application system through an Android device, then face recognition detection will be connected. and saved to the database that will be used as data about the presence of teaching lecturers. Using the local binary pattern histogram algorithm method to measure the face recognition system that can be applied as a technique in the attendance system of lecturers to be more effective and efficient. Based on testing by analyzing the false rate error rate and the false refusal rate can be seen that the average level of local binary pattern histogram accuracy reaches 95.71% better than through the Eigenface method which is equal to 76.28%.

Face recognition via representation-based classification is a trending technique in the recent years. However, the recognition performance of the systems using such a technique degrades in an unconstrained environment. In this article, a novel framework is proposed for representation-based face recognition. To deal with the unconstrained environment, a pre-process is used to frontalize face images, and aligned downsampling local binary pattern features of the frontalized images are used for classification. A dimension reduction is then adopted in order to reduce the computation complexity via an optimized projection matrix. The recognition is carried out using an improved robust sparse coding algorithm. Such an algorithm is expected to avoid the overfitting problem. The open-universe test on labeled faces in the wild data sets shows that the recognition rate of the proposed system can reach 95% with a recall rate of 80%, which is best among those representation-based classification face recognition systems.

Abstract Face recognition is categorized as a biometric technology that employs the use of computer ability in image processing to detect and recognize human faces. Face recognition system has numerous applications for many purposes such as for access control, law enforcement and surveillance thus this system is dominant in present technology. Generally, face recognition system become more advance in term of the accuracy and implementation. However, there are a few parameters that effects the accuracy of recognition system for examples, the pose invariant, illumination effect, size of image and noise tolerance. Even though there are a number of systems were already available in the literature, the complete understanding of their performances are relatively limited. This is due to many systems focused on a narrow application band – therefore, a comprehensive analysis are needed in order to understand their performances leading to establishing the conditions for successful face recognition system. In this paper we developed a synthetic model to represent facial images to be used as a platform for performance analysis of facial recognition systems. The model includes 5 face types with the ability to vary all parameters that are affecting recognition performance – measurement noise, face size and face-background intensity differences. The model is important as it provide an avenue for performance analysis of facial recognition systems.

Face recognition, a kind of biometric identification, researched in several fields such as computer vision, image processing, and pattern recognition is a natural and direct biometric method. Face Recognition Technology has diverse potential over applications in the fields of information security, law enforcement and surveillance, smart cards, access control and more. Face recognition is one of the diverse techniques used for identifying an individual. Generally the image variations because of the change in face identity are less than the variations among the images of the same face under different illumination and viewing angle. Illumination and pose are the two major challenges, among the several factors that influence face recognition. After pose and illumination, the main factors that affect the face recognition performance are occlusion and expression. So in order to overcome these issues, we proposed an efficient face recognition system based on partial occlusion and expression. The similar blocks in the face image are identified and occlusion can be recovered using the block matching technique. This is combined with expression normalized by calculating the Empherical Mode Decomposition feature. Finally, the face can be recognized by using the PCA. From the implementation result, it is evident that our proposed method based on the PCA technique recognizes the face images effectively.
