As the essential content of intelligent animal husbandry, identifying each livestock is the only way to achieve modern and refined scientific husbandry. This paper proposes a sheep face recognition method based on European spatial metrics and realizes noncontact sheep identity recognition by training the network using sheep face image samples in the natural environment. The SheepBase data set was first proposed in this process, which contains 6559 images of Inner Mongolia fine-wool sheep and Sunite sheep. To enhance the diversity of the data, the sheep face images were data-enhanced. Secondly, to solve the problems of more redundant information in the sheep face image and the poor posture and angle of the sheep face, we propose the sheep face detection and correction (SheepFaceRepair) method. This method aims to detect the sheep face area in the image to be recognized and align the sheep face area. On this basis, we offer an open sheep facial recognition network (SheepFaceNet) based on the European spatial metric. This method incorporates the biological identity information features of the sheep face to achieve sheep identity. We also tested the effectiveness of this method in the SheepBase data set. The experimental results show that the method proposed in this paper is much higher than the other methods, and the precision of recognition reaches 89.12%. In addition, we found that integrating the biometrics of the sheep face can effectively improve the network’s recognition capacity.

In video surveillance, the captured face images are usually suffered from low-resolution (LR), besides, not all the probe images have mates in the gallery under the premise that only a single frontal high-resolution (HR) face image per subject. To address this problem, a novel face recognition framework called recursive label propagation based on statistical classification (ReLPBSC) has been proposed in this paper. Firstly, we employ VGG to extract robust discriminative feature vectors to represent each face. Then we select the corresponding LR face in the probe for each HR gallery face by similarity. Based on the picked HR–LR pairs, ReLPBSC is implemented for recognition. The main contributions of the proposed approach are as follows: (i) Inspired by substantial achievements of deep learning methods, VGG is adopted to achieve discriminative representation for LR faces to avoid the super-resolution steps; (ii) the accepted and rejected threshold parameters, which are not fixed in face recognition, can be achieved with ReLPBSC adaptively; (iii) the unreliable subjects never enrolled in the gallery can be rejected automatically with designed methods. Experimental results in [Formula: see text] pixels resolution show that the proposed method can achieve 86.64% recall rate while keeping 100% precision.

The Face recognition method is one of the authoritative biometric system in recognition methods to recognize the individual, because face is a distinctive biometric trait of an human being and it is the superior method of recognition. This paper proposes a novel Face recognition method by using extended LBP features. The pre-processing is carried out to extract the face area using viola-johns algorithm and all images are resized to 100x100. The LBP operator is applied on resized face images by rotating the each image by 15 degrees, i.e., at 7 degree left and 7 degree right and at zero degree to extract the feature vectors and final features are obtained by applying histogram technique. The SVM classifier is used for matching the database images with test images to measure the performance such as TSR, FAR, FRR & EER. The performance parameters are compared with existing algorithms for YALE and FERET database.

At present, the face recognition method based on deep belief network (DBN) has advantages of automatically learning the abstract information of face images and being affected slightly by active factors, so it becomes the main method in the face recognition area. Because DBN ignores the local information of face images, the face recognition rate based on DBN is badly affected. To solve this problem, a face recognition method based on center-symmetric local binary pattern (CS-LBP) and DBN (FRMCD) is proposed in this paper. Firstly, the face image is divided into several subblocks. Secondly, CS-LBP is used to extract texture features of each image subblock. Thirdly, texture feature histograms are formed and input into the DBN visual layer. Finally, face classification and face recognition are completed through deep learning in DBN. Through the experiments on face databases ORL, Extend Yale B, and CMU-PIE by the proposed method (FRMCD), the best partitioning way of the face image and the hidden unit number of the DBN hidden layer are obtained. Then, comparative experiments between the FRMCD and traditional methods are performed. The results show that the recognition rate of FRMCD is superior to those of traditional methods; the highest recognition rate is up to 98.82%. When the number of training samples is less, the FRMCD has more significant advantages. Compared with the method based on local binary pattern (LBP) and DBN, the time-consuming of FRMCD is shorter.

Secure user access to devices and datasets is widely enabled by fingerprint or face recognition. Organization of the necessarily large secure digital object datasets, with objects having content that may consist of images, text, video or audio, involves efficient classification and feature retrieval processing. This usually will require multidimensional methods applicable to data that is represented through a family of probability distributions. Then information geometry is an appropriate context in which to provide for such analytic work, whether with maximum likelihood fitted distributions or empirical frequency distributions. The important provision is of a natural geometric measure structure on families of probability distributions by representing them as Riemannian manifolds. Then the distributions are points lying in this geometrical manifold, different features can be identified and dissimilarities computed, so that neighbourhoods of objects nearby a given example object can be constructed. This can reveal clustering and projections onto smaller eigen-subspaces which can make comparisons easier to interpret. Geodesic distances can be used as a natural dissimilarity metric applied over data described by probability distributions. Exploring this property, we propose a new face recognition method which scores dissimilarities between face images by multiplying geodesic distance approximations between 3-variate RGB Gaussians representative of colour face images, and also obtaining joint probabilities. The experimental results show that this new method is more successful in recognition rates than published comparative state-of-the-art methods.

Low-resolution face recognition with one-shot is a prevalent problem encountered in law enforcement, where it generally requires to recognize the low-resolution face images captured by surveillance cameras with the only one high-resolution profile face image in the database. The problem is very tough because the available samples is quite few and the quality of unknown images is quite low. To effectively address this issue, this paper proposes Adapted Discriminative Coupled Mappings (AdaDCM) approach, which integrates domain adaptation and discriminative learning. To achieve good domain adaptation performance for small size dataset, a new domain adaptation technique called Bidirectional Locality Matching-based Domain Adaptation (BLM-DA) is first developed. Then the proposed AdaDCM is formulated by unifying BLM-DA and discriminative coupled mappings into a single framework. AdaDCM is extensively evaluated on FERET, LFW, and SCface databases, which includes LR face images obtained in constrained, unconstrained, and real-world environment. The promising results on these datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of AdaDCM in LR face recognition with one-shot.

This chapter describes a multi-linear discriminant method of constructing and quantifying statistically significant changes on human identity photographs. The approach is based on a general multivariate two-stage linear framework that addresses the small sample size problem in high-dimensional spaces. Starting with a 2D data set of frontal face images, the authors determine a most characteristic direction of change by organizing the data according to the patterns of interest. These experiments on publicly available face image sets show that the multi-linear approach does produce visually plausible results for gender, facial expression and aging facial changes in a simple and efficient way. The authors believe that such approach could be widely applied for modeling and reconstruction in face recognition and possibly in identifying subjects after a lapse of time.

For face recognition, conventional dictionary learning (DL) methods have some disadvantages. First, face images of the same person vary with facial expressions and pose, illumination and disguises, so it is hard to obtain a robust dictionary for face recognition. Second, they don’t cover important components (e.g., particularity and disturbance) completely, which limit their performance. In the paper, we propose a novel robust and discriminative DL (RDDL) model. The proposed model uses sample diversities of the same face image to learn a robust dictionary, which includes class-specific dictionary atoms and disturbance dictionary atoms. These atoms can well represent the data from different classes. Discriminative regularizations on the dictionary and the representation coefficients are used to exploit discriminative information, which improves effectively the classification capability of the dictionary. The proposed RDDL is extensively evaluated on benchmark face image databases, and it shows superior performance to many state-of-the-art dictionary learning methods for face recognition.

In the process of face recognition, face acquisition data is seriously distorted. Many face images collected are blurred or even missing. Faced with so many problems, the traditional image inpainting was based on structure, while the current popular image inpainting method is based on deep convolutional neural network and generative adversarial nets. In this paper, we propose a 3D face image inpainting method based on generative adversarial nets. We identify two parallels of the vector to locate the planer positions. Compared with the previous, the edge information of the missing image is detected, and the edge fuzzy inpainting can achieve better visual match effect. We make the face recognition performance dramatically boost.

<p>Recent research has established the possibility of deducing soft-biometric attributes such as age, gender and race from an individual’s face image with high accuracy. Many techniques have been proposed to ensure user privacy, such as visible distortions to the images, manipulation of the original image with new face attributes, face swapping etc. Though these techniques achieve the goal of user privacy by fooling face recognition models, they don’t help the user when they want to upload original images without visible distortions or manipulation. The objective of this work is to implement techniques to ensure the privacy of user’s sensitive or personal data in face images by creating minimum pixel level distortions using white-box and black-box perturbation algorithms to fool AI models while maintaining the integrity of the image, so as to appear the same to a human eye.</p><div><br></div>

In the contactless delivery scenario, the self-pickup cabinet is an important terminal delivery device, and face recognition is one of the efficient ways to achieve contactless access express delivery. In order to effectively recognize face images under unrestricted environments, an unrestricted face recognition algorithm based on transfer learning is proposed in this study. First, the region extraction network of the faster RCNN algorithm is improved to improve the recognition speed of the algorithm. Then, the first transfer learning is applied between the large ImageNet dataset and the face image dataset under restricted conditions. The second transfer learning is applied between face image under restricted conditions and unrestricted face image datasets. Finally, the unrestricted face image is processed by the image enhancement algorithm to increase its similarity with the restricted face image, so that the second transfer learning can be carried out effectively. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm has better recognition rate and recognition speed on the CASIA-WebFace dataset, FLW dataset, and MegaFace dataset.
