AbstractFace detection plays important roles in many applications such as human–computer interaction, security and surveillance, face recognition, etc. This article presents an intelligent enhanced fused approach for face recognition based on the Voronoi diagram (VD) and wavelet moment invariants. Discrete wavelet transform and moment invariants are used for feature extraction of the facial face. Finally, VD and the dual tessellation (Delaunay triangulation, DT) are used to locate and detect original face images. Face recognition results based on this new fusion are promising in the state of the art.

With the safety awareness strengthened, identification authentication technology has been increasingly concerned. Face recognition is attractive in pattern recognition and artificial intelligence field, and face feature extraction is a very important part in face recognition. This paper first introduced preprocessing of face images, PCA and ICA algorithm. Considering PCA and ICA their respective strengths and weaknesses, then a novel face feature extraction method based on PCA and ICA is proposed. The NN classifier is select to face classification and recognition on the ORL face database. From the actual requirements, the paper analyses hardware platforms based on DM642, and finally use tool CCS software to optimize program and implementation base on DM642 to meet the real-time requirements. Experiments indicated that the modified method is superior to PCA and ICA algorithm.

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.

PurposeThe objective of this paper is to perform infrared (IR) face recognition efficiently with convolutional neural networks (CNNs). The proposed model in this paper has several advantages such as the automatic feature extraction using convolutional and pooling layers and the ability to distinguish between faces without visual details.Design/methodology/approachA model which comprises five convolutional layers in addition to five max-pooling layers is introduced for the recognition of IR faces.FindingsThe experimental results and analysis reveal high recognition rates of IR faces with the proposed model.Originality/valueA designed CNN model is presented for IR face recognition. Both the feature extraction and classification tasks are incorporated into this model. The problems of low contrast and absence of details in IR images are overcome with the proposed model. The recognition accuracy reaches 100% in experiments on the Terravic Facial IR Database (TFIRDB).
