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.

Recognition Systems

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.

Selection Of

Two experiments are reported which seek to examine the proposition first put forward by Hay and Young (1982), that recognition of a known person after seeing his or her face proceeds through a series of sequentially organized stages. In both experiments subjects were shown a selection of famous and unfamiliar faces and required to state whether each face was familiar. They were then asked to recall semantic information and the person's name. Of all the possible response types, only some are predicted by models derived from Hay and Young (1982), and only these responses were observed in Experiment 1. In order to give as complete an account as possible of the slips and errors made by subjects, they were interrogated some days after completing the testing phase in Experiment 2. As in the first experiment, the results supported the view that distinct but successive stages are involved in everyday face recognition. The method developed here provides an extension of the “diary” type of study of everyday recognition errors into laboratory conditions, which confirms the findings of studies of everyday errors and provides strong support for sequential models.

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.

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.

Primary Means

Face recognition is a digital image processing approach that uses face photographs as input to identify a person. Face recognition is important since the face is a person's primary means of identification because the shape of a person's face differs significantly, which is easy to do intuitively using the visual senses. Image processing, face detection, feature extraction, and classification are all aspects of the face recognition system, which seeks to determine whether the image obtained is a person's face stored in the database. Principles of operation If a human face appears in front of the camera, the system quickly executes a facial recognition procedure and compares the face to facial data kept on the website. If a face detected by the camera matches the face stored on the website, the solenoid will automatically be in the on position or the door will be open, and vice versa, if the face detected by the camera does not match, the solenoid will remain in the off position or the door will remain locked. This tool can be used to improve the security system on the door of a private room or a room that can only be accessed by certain people.

Fuzzy C Means Clustering

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.

Amount Of Knowledge

The Face recognition and image or video recognition are popular research topics in biometric technology. Real-time face recognition is an exciting field and a rapidly evolving issue. Key component analysis (PCA) may be a statistical technique collectively called correlational analysis . The goal of PCA is to scale back the massive amount of knowledge storage to the dimensions of the functional space required to render the face recognition system. The wide one-dimensional pixel vector generated from the two-dimensional image of the face and therefore the basic elements of the spatial function are designed for face recognition using PCA. this is often the projection of your own space. Sufficient space is decided by the brand. specialise in the eigenvectors of the covariance matrix of the fingerprint image collection. i'm building a camera-based real-time face recognition system and installing an algorithm. Use OpenCV, Haar Cascade, Eigen face, Fisher Face, LBPH and Python for program development.
