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.

<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>

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.

Abstract: In order to solve the easily copied problem of images in face recognition software, an algorithm combining the image feature with digital watermark is presented in this paper. As watermark information, image feature of the adjacent blocks are embedded to the face image. And primitive face images are not needed when recovering the watermark. So face image integrity can be well confirmed, and the algorithm can detect whether the face image is the original one and identify whether the face image is attacked by malicious aim-such as tampering, replacing or illegally adding. Experimental results show that the algorithm with good invisibility and excellent robustness has no interference on face recognition rate, and it can position the specific tampered location of human face image.

In the contactless delivery scenario, the self-pickup cabinet is an important terminal delivery device, and face recognition is one of the efficient ways to achieve contactless access express delivery. In order to effectively recognize face images under unrestricted environments, an unrestricted face recognition algorithm based on transfer learning is proposed in this study. First, the region extraction network of the faster RCNN algorithm is improved to improve the recognition speed of the algorithm. Then, the first transfer learning is applied between the large ImageNet dataset and the face image dataset under restricted conditions. The second transfer learning is applied between face image under restricted conditions and unrestricted face image datasets. Finally, the unrestricted face image is processed by the image enhancement algorithm to increase its similarity with the restricted face image, so that the second transfer learning can be carried out effectively. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm has better recognition rate and recognition speed on the CASIA-WebFace dataset, FLW dataset, and MegaFace dataset.

In this paper, we present a face recognition approach based on extended Histogram Oriented Gradient (HOG) descriptors to extract the facial expressions features allowing classifying the faces and facial expressions. The approach is based on determining the different directional codes on the face image based on edge response values to define the feature vector from the face image. Its size is reduced to improve the performance of the SVM (Support Vector Machine) classifier. Experiments are conducted using two public datasets: JAFFE for facial expression recognition and YALE for face recognition. Experimental results show that the proposed descriptor achieves recognition rate of 92.12% and execution time ranging from 0.4s to 0.7s in all evaluated databases compared with existing works. Experiments demonstrate and confirm both the effectiveness and the efficiency of the proposed descriptor.

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.
