<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>

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.

Objective Face recognition can be affected by unfavorable factors such as illumination, posture and expression, but the face image set is a collection of people’s various angles, different illuminations and even different expressions, which can effectively reduce these adverse effects and get higher face recognition rate. In order to make the face image set have higher recognition rate, a new method of combining face image set recognition is proposed, which combines an improved Histogram of Oriented Gradient (HOG) feature and Convolutional Neural Network (CNN). Method The method firstly segments the face images to be identified and performs HOG to extract features of the segmented images. Secondly, calculate the information entropy contained in each block as a weight coefficient of each block to form a new HOG features, and non-negative matrix factorization (NMF) is applied to reduce HOG features. Then the reduced-dimensional HOG features are modeled as image sets which keep your face details as much as possible. Finally, the modeled image sets are classified by using a convolutional neural network. Result The experimental results show that compared with the simple CNN method and the HOG-CNN method, the recognition rate of the method on the CMU PIE face set is increased by about 4%~10%. Conclusion The method proposed in this paper has more details of the face, overcomes the adverse effects, and improves the accuracy.

In order to improve the low accuracy of the face recognition methods in the case of e-health, this paper proposed a novel face recognition approach, which is based on convolutional neural network (CNN). In detail, through resolving the convolutional kernel, rectified linear unit (ReLU) activation function, dropout, and batch normalization, this novel approach reduces the number of parameters of the CNN model, improves the non-linearity of the CNN model, and alleviates overfitting of the CNN model. In these ways, the accuracy of face recognition is increased. In the experiments, the proposed approach is compared with principal component analysis (PCA) and support vector machine (SVM) on ORL, Cohn-Kanade, and extended Yale-B face recognition data set, and it proves that this approach is promising.

At present, frontal or even near frontal face recognition problem is no longer considered as a challenge. Recently, the shift has been to improve the recognition rate for the nonfrontal face. In this work, a neural network paradigm based on the radial basis function approach is proposed to tackle the challenge of recognizing faces in different poses. Exploiting the symmetrical properties of human face, our work takes the advantage of the existence of even half of the face. The strategy is to maximize the linearity relationship based on the local information of the face rather than on the global information. To establish the relationship, our proposed method employs discrete wavelet transform and multi-color uniform local binary pattern (ULBP) in order to obtain features for the local information. The local information will then be represented by a single vector known as the face feature vector. This face feature vector will be used to estimate the frontal face feature vector which will be used for matching with the actual vector. With such an approach, our proposed method relies on a database that contains only single frontal face images. The results shown in this paper demonstrate the robustness of our proposed method even at low-resolution conditions.

Accurate measurement of poses and expressions can increase the efficiency of recognition systems by avoiding the recognition of spurious faces. This paper presents a novel and robust pose-expression invariant face recognition method in order to improve the existing face recognition techniques. First, we apply the TSL color model for detecting facial region and estimate the vector X-Y-Z of face using connected components analysis. Second, the input face is mapped by a deformable 3D facial model. Third, the mapped face is transformed to the frontal face which appropriates for face recognition by the estimated pose vector and action unit of expression. Finally, the damaged regions which occur during the process of normalization are reconstructed using PCA. Several empirical tests are used to validate the application of face detection model and the method for estimating facial poses and expression. In addition, the tests suggest that recognition rate is greatly boosted through the normalization of the poses and expression.
