<p class="JESTECAbstract">Human face Recognition systems are increasingly gaining more importance and can be utilized throughout many applications like video surveillance, Security, human-computer intelligent interaction, etc. this paper presents performance comparison between three feature extraction techniques for an automatic face recognition system. In the first step, we benefit from wavelet Transforms, Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and combining Wavelet with PCA as feature extracting methods. After feature vectors generation, linear and nonlinear Support Vector Machines (SVM) are usually used for implementing the classification or recognition step. These methods are compared on accuracy in an ORL database for face recognition applications including 400 images of 40 people.</p>

Face recognition has been used in various applications where personal identification is required. Other methods of person's identification and verification such as iris scan and finger print scan require high quality and costly equipment. The objective of this research is to present an extended principal component analysis model to recognize a person by comparing the characteristics of the face to those of new individuals for different dimension of face image. The main focus of this research is on frontal two dimensional images that are taken in a controlled environment i.e. the illumination and the background is constant. This research requires a normal camera giving a 2-D frontal image of the person that will be used for the process of the human face recognition. An Extended Principal Component Analysis (EPCA) technique has been used in the proposed model of face recognition. Based on the experimental results it is expected that proposed the EPCA performs well for different face images when a huge number of training images increases computation complexity in the database.

Face recognition can represent a key requirement in various types of applications such as human-computer interface, monitoring systems, as well as personal identification. In this paper, design and implement of face recognition system are introduced. In this system, a combination of principal component analysis (PCA) and wavelet feature extraction algorithms with support vector machine (SVM) and K-nearest neighborhood classifier is used. PCA and wavelet transform methods are used to extract features from face image using and identify the image of the face using SVMs classifier as well as the neural network are used as a classifier to compare its results with the proposed system. For a more comprehensive comparison, two face image databases (Yale and ORL) are used to test the performance of the system. Finally, the experimental results show the efficiency and reliability of face recognition system, and the results demonstrate accuracy on two databases indicated that the results enhancement 5% using the SVM classifier with polynomial Kernel function compared to use feedforward neural network classifier.

This paper is about human face recognition in image files. Face recognition involves matching a given image with the database of images and identifying the image that it resembles the most. Here, face recognition is done using: (a) Eigen faces and (b) applying Principal Component Analysis (PCA) on image. The aim is to successfully demonstrate the human face recognition using Principal component analysis & comparison of Manhattan distance, Eucleadian distance & Chebychev distance for face matching.
