Facial recognition has attracted the attention of researchers and has been one of the most prominent topics in the fields of image processing and pattern recognition since 1990. This resulted in a very large number of recognition methods and techniques with the aim of increasing the accuracy and robustness of existing systems. Many techniques have been developed to address the challenges and reliable recognition systems have been reached but require considerable processing time, suffer from high memory consumption and are relatively complex. The focus of this paper is on extracting subset of descriptors (less correlated and less calculations) from the co-occurrence matrix with the goal of enhancing the performance of Haralick’s descriptors. Improvements are achieved by adding the image pre-processing and selecting the proper method according to the database problem and by extracting features from image local regions.

For face recognition systems, liveness detection can effectively avoid illegal fraud and improve the safety of face recognition systems. Common face attacks include photo printing and video replay attacks. This paper studied the differences between photos, videos, and real faces in static texture and motion information and proposed a living detection structure based on feature fusion and attention mechanism, Dynamic and Texture Fusion Attention Network (DTFA-Net). We proposed a dynamic information fusion structure of an interchannel attention block to fuse the magnitude and direction of optical flow to extract facial motion features. In addition, for the face detection failure of HOG algorithm under complex illumination, we proposed an improved Gamma image preprocessing algorithm, which effectively improved the face detection ability. We conducted experiments on the CASIA-MFSD and Replay Attack Databases. According to experiments, the DTFA-Net proposed in this paper achieved 6.9% EER on CASIA and 2.2% HTER on Replay Attack that was comparable to other methods.

Face recognition is popular in the field of pattern recognition and image processing. However, traditional recognition technologies spend too long there are a lot of images to be recognized or trained for great accuracy in the recognition. Parallel computing is an effective way to improve the processing speed. With the improvement of GPU performance, its widely applied in computing-concentrated data operations. This paper presents a study of performance speedup achieved by applying GPU for face recognition based on PCA (Principal Component Analysis) algorithm. We successfully accelerated the testing phase by 6868-folds compared to a sequential C implementation when it has 100 test images and 2400 training images.

Nowadays, face recognition becomes one of the important topics in the computer vision and image processing area. This is due to its importance where can be used in many applications. The main key in the face recognition is how to extract distinguishable features from the image to perform high recognition accuracy.  Local binary pattern (LBP) and many of its variants used as texture features in many of face recognition systems. Although LBP performed well in many fields, it is sensitive to noise, and different patterns of LBP may classify into the same class that reduces its discriminating property. Completed Local Ternary Pattern (CLTP) is one of the new proposed texture features to overcome the drawbacks of the LBP. The CLTP outperformed LBP and some of its variants in many fields such as texture, scene, and event image classification.  In this study, we study and investigate the performance of CLTP operator for face recognition task. The Japanese Female Facial Expression (JAFFE), and FEI face databases are used in the experiments. In the experimental results, CLTP outperformed some previous texture descriptors and achieves higher classification rate for face recognition task which has reached up 99.38% and 85.22% in JAFFE and FEI, respectively.

Attendance management system is a required tool for attaining attendance in any habitat where attendance is essential. Yet, many of the available techniques consume time, are invasive and it demands manual work from the users. This research is directed at building a less invasive, cost effective and more efficient automated student attendance management system using face recognition that leverages on OpenCV functions for facial recognition. The system provides a GUI for marking attendance. It provides an interface for updating attendance using facial recognition libraries of OpenCV. The system stores attendance in a database which is maintained by the administrator. The administrator can view, update, and change the attendance of the students. The students can view and update their attendance. The system is developed on Open-Source image processing library and the interface is developed using Python Tkinter module. The Tkinter module is an open-source module by which we can develop GUI screens hence, it is not software dependent nor vendor hardware. The OpenCV module used for image processing is interfaced using python.

Whilst facial recognition systems are vulnerable to different acquisition conditions, most notably lighting effects and pose variations, their particular level of sensitivity to facial aging effects is yet to be researched. The face recognition vendor test (FRVT) 2012's annual statement estimated deterioration in the performance of face recognition systems due to facial aging. There was about 5% degradation in the accuracies of the face recognition systems for each single year age difference between a test image and a probe image. Consequently, developing an age-invariant platform continues to be a significant requirement for building an effective facial recognition system. The main objective of this work is to address the challenge of facial aging which affects the performance of facial recognition systems. Accordingly, this work presents a geometrical model that is based on extracting a number of triangular facial features. The proposed model comprises a total of six triangular areas connecting and surrounding the main facial features (i.e. eyes, nose and mouth). Furthermore, a set of thirty mathematical relationships are developed and used for building a feature vector for each sample image. The areas and perimeters of the extracted triangular areas are calculated and used as inputs for the developed mathematical relationships. The performance of the system is evaluated over the publicly available face and gesture recognition research network (FG-NET) face aging database. The performance of the system is compared with that of some of the state-of-the-art face recognition methods and state-of-the-art age-invariant face recognition systems. Our proposed system yielded a good performance in term of classification accuracy of more than 94%.


Similarity Measures for Face Recognition Face recognition has several applications, including security, such as (authentication and identification of device users and criminal suspects), and in medicine (corrective surgery and diagnosis). Facial recognition programs rely on algorithms that can compare and compute the similarity between two sets of images. This eBook explains some of the similarity measures used in facial recognition systems in a single volume. Readers will learn about various measures including Minkowski distances, Mahalanobis distances, Hansdorff distances, cosine-based distances, among other methods. The book also summarizes errors that may occur in face recognition methods. Computer scientists "facing face" and looking to select and test different methods of computing similarities will benefit from this book. The book is also useful tool for students undertaking computer vision courses.

Face recognition has become a popular topic of research recently due to increases in demand for security as well as the rapid development of mobile devices. There are many applications which face recognition can be applied to such as access control, identity verification, security systems, surveillance systems, and social media networks. Access control includes offices, computers, phones, ATMs, etc. Most of these forms currently do not use face recognition as the standard form of granting entry, but with advancing technologies in computers along with more refined algorithms, facial recognition is gaining some traction in replacing passwords and fingerprint scanners. Ever since the events of 9/11 there has been a more concerned emphasis on developing security systems to ensure the safety of innocent citizens. Namely in places such as airports and border crossings where identification verification is necessary, face recognition systems potentially have the ability to mitigate the risk and ultimately prevent future attacks from occurring. As for surveillance systems, the same point can be made if there are criminals on the loose. Surveillance cameras with face recognition abilities can aide in efforts of finding these individuals. Alternatively, these same surveillance systems can also help identify the whereabouts of missing persons, although this is dependent on robust facial recognition algorithms as well as a fully developed database of faces. And lastly, facial recognition has surfaced in social media applications on platforms such as Facebook which suggest users to tag friends who have been identified in pictures. It is clear that there are many applications the uses for facial recognition systems. In general, the steps to achieve this are the following: face detection, feature extraction, and lastly training a model.

Abstract Over the years, face recognition has been the research topic that has attracted many researchers around the world. One of the most significant applications of face recognition is the access control system. The access control system allows authorized persons to enter or exit certain or restricted areas. As a result, it will increase the security situation without over-investment in staff security. The access information can be the identification, time, and location, etc. It can be used to carry out human resource management tasks such as attendance and inspection of employees in a more fair and transparent manner. Although face recognition has been widely used in access control systems because of its better accuracy and convenience without requiring too much user cooperation, the 2D-based face recognition systems also retain many limitations due to the variations in pose and illumination. By analyzing facial geometries, 3D facial recognition systems can theoretically overcome the disadvantages of prior 2D methods and improve robustness in different working conditions. In this paper, we propose the 3D facial recognition algorithm for use in an access control system. The proposed algorithm includes the preprocessing, feature extraction, and classification stages. The application of the proposed access control system is the automatic sliding door, the controller of the system, the web-based monitoring, control, and storage of data.
