Abstract It is aimed at the low accuracy and low efficiency of face recognition under unlimited conditions.In this paper, a Siamese neural Network model SN-LF (Siamese Network based on LBP and Frequency Feature perception) is designed based on the Local Binary Pattern (LBP) and the Frequency sensing model.Based on Siamese neural networks, the network adopts circular LBP algorithm and frequency feature perception to realize face recognition under unrestricted conditions.The LBP algorithm can eliminate the influence of light on the image and provide directional input to the network model at the same time.Frequency feature sensing divides the image features into low frequency features and high frequency features. The low frequency features are compressed in the Siamese neural network to increase the recognition efficiency of the network. At the same time, information is exchanged with the high frequency features, so that the target noise data can be eliminated while the feature data is retained.In this way, the recognition rate of the network is maintained, and the computing speed of the network is improved.Simulation experiments are carried out on standard face dataset CASIA-Webface and Yale-B, and compared with other network models. The experimental results show that the proposed SN-LF network structure can improve the recognition accuracy of the algorithm, and achieve a good recognition accuracy.

The presence of fake pictures affects the reliability of visible face images under specific circumstances. This paper presents a novel adversarial neural network designed named as the FTSGAN for infrared and visible image fusion and we utilize FTSGAN model to fuse the face image features of infrared and visible image to improve the effect of face recognition. In FTSGAN model design, the Frobenius norm (F), total variation norm (TV), and structural similarity index measure (SSIM) are employed. The F and TV are used to limit the gray level and the gradient of the image, while the SSIM is used to limit the image structure. The FTSGAN fuses infrared and visible face images that contains bio-information for heterogeneous face recognition tasks. Experiments based on the FTSGAN using hundreds of face images demonstrate its excellent performance. The principal component analysis (PCA) and linear discrimination analysis (LDA) are involved in face recognition. The face recognition performance after fusion improved by 1.9% compared to that before fusion, and the final face recognition rate was 94.4%. This proposed method has better quality, faster rate, and is more robust than the methods that only use visible images for face recognition.

Plant species recognition is a critical step in protecting plant diversity. Leaf-based plant species recognition research is important and challenging due to the large within-class difference and between-class similarity of leaves and the rich inconsistent leaves with different sizes, colors, shapes, textures, and venations. Most existing plant leaf recognition methods typically normalize all leaf images to the same size and then recognize them at one scale, which results in unsatisfactory performances. A novel multiscale convolutional neural network with attention (AMSCNN) model is constructed for plant species recognition. In AMSCNN, multiscale convolution is used to learn the low-frequency and high-frequency features of the input images, and an attention mechanism is utilized to capture rich contextual relationships for better feature extraction and improving network training. Extensive experiments on the plant leaf dataset demonstrate the remarkable performance of AMSCNN compared with the hand-crafted feature-based methods and deep-neural network-based methods. The maximum accuracy attained along with AMSCNN is 95.28%.

Campus violence is a common social phenomenon all over the world, and is the most harmful type of school bullying events. As artificial intelligence and remote sensing techniques develop, there are several possible methods to detect campus violence, e.g., movement sensor-based methods and video sequence-based methods. Sensors and surveillance cameras are used to detect campus violence. In this paper, the authors use image features and acoustic features for campus violence detection. Campus violence data are gathered by role-playing, and 4096-dimension feature vectors are extracted from every 16 frames of video images. The C3D (Convolutional 3D) neural network is used for feature extraction and classification, and an average recognition accuracy of 92.00% is achieved. Mel-frequency cepstral coefficients (MFCCs) are extracted as acoustic features, and three speech emotion databases are involved. The C3D neural network is used for classification, and the average recognition accuracies are 88.33%, 95.00%, and 91.67%, respectively. To solve the problem of evidence conflict, the authors propose an improved Dempster–Shafer (D–S) algorithm. Compared with existing D–S theory, the improved algorithm increases the recognition accuracy by 10.79%, and the recognition accuracy can ultimately reach 97.00%.

It is a critical issue to reduce the enormous amount of data in the processing, storage and transmission of a hologram in digital format. In photograph compression, the JPEG standard is commonly supported by almost every system and device. It will be favorable if JPEG standard is applicable to hologram compression, with advantages of universal compatibility. However, the reconstructed image from a JPEG compressed hologram suffers from severe quality degradation since some high frequency features in the hologram will be lost during the compression process. In this work, we employ a deep convolutional neural network to reduce the artifacts in a JPEG compressed hologram. Simulation and experimental results reveal that our proposed “JPEG + deep learning” hologram compression scheme can achieve satisfactory reconstruction results for a computer-generated phase-only hologram after compression.

Illumination variation makes automatic face recognition a challenging task, especially in low light environments. A very simple and efficient novel low-light image denoising of low frequency noise (DeLFN) is proposed. The noise frequency distribution of low-light images is presented based on massive experimental results. The low and very low frequency noise are dominant in low light conditions. DeLFN is a three-level image denoising method. The first level denoises mixed noises by histogram equalization (HE) to improve overall contrast. The second level denoises low frequency noise by logarithmic transformation (LOG) to enhance the image detail. The third level denoises residual very low frequency noise by high-pass filtering to recover more features of the true images. The PCA (Principal Component Analysis) recognition method is applied to test recognition rate of the preprocessed face images with DeLFN. DeLFN are compared with several representative illumination preprocessing methods on the Yale Face Database B, the Extended Yale face database B, and the CMU PIE face database, respectively. DeLFN not only outperformed other algorithms in improving visual quality and face recognition rate, but also is simpler and computationally efficient for real time applications.

An adaptive gender recognition method is proposed in this paper. At first, do multiwavlet transform to face image and get its low frequency information, then do feature extraction to the low frequency information using compressive sensing (CS), use extreme learning machine (ELM) to achieve gender recognition finally. In the process of feature extraction, we use genetic algorithm (GA) to get the number of measurements of CS in order to gain the highest recognition rate, so the method can adaptive access optimal performance. Experimental results show that compared with PDA and LDA, the new method improved the recognition accuracy substantially.

A novel method is proposed in this paper to improve the recognition accuracy of Local Binary Pattern (LBP) on low-resolution face recognition. More precise descriptors and effectively face features can be extracted by combining multi-scale blocking center symmetric local binary pattern (CS-LBP) based on Gaussian pyramids and weighted principal component analysis (PCA) on low-resolution condition. Firstly, the features statistical histograms of face images are calculated by multi-scale blocking CS-LBP operator. Secondly, the stronger classification and lower dimension features can be got by applying weighted PCA algorithm. Finally, the different classifiers are used to select the optimal classification categories of low-resolution face set and calculate the recognition rate. The results in the ORL human face databases show that recognition rate can get 89.38% when the resolution of face image drops to 12[Formula: see text]10 pixel and basically satisfy the practical requirements of recognition. The further comparison of other descriptors and experiments from videos proved that the novel algorithm can improve recognition accuracy.

For traditional methods of library identifies based on the two-dimensional code characteristics, these methods are time consuming and a lot of prior experience is required. A method of library identifies based on computer vision technology is proposed. In this method, a preprocessing, such as image equalization, binarization and wavelet change, is first performed on the acquired library label images. Then on the basis of the structural features of the character, the features of library identifiers are obtained by applying PCA for a principal component analysis. A quantum neural network model is designed to have an optimization analysis and calculation on the extracted features, to avoid the drawbacks which need a lot of prior knowledge for the traditional methods. At the same time, an optimization is carried out for the neural network model saving a large amount of computation time. The experimental results show that a recognition rate, up to 98.13%, is obtained by using this method. With a high recognition speed, the method can meet the actual needs to be applied in a practical system.

In this paper, a new image fusion algorithm based on discrete wavelet transform (DWT) and spiking cortical model (SCM) is proposed. The multiscale decomposition and multi-resolution representation characteristics of DWT are associated with global coupling and pulse synchronization features of SCM. Two different fusion rules are used to fuse the low and high frequency sub-bands respectively. Maximum selection rule (MSR) is used to fuse low frequency coefficients. As to high frequency subband coefficients, spatial frequency (SF) is calculated and then imputed into SCM to motivate neural network. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed fusion method.


Face recognition accuracy is determined by face detection results. Detected faces will be in view of clear and occlusion faces. If detected face has occlusion than recognition accuracy is reduced. This research is directed to increase recognition rate when detected occlusion face. In this paper is proposed normalization occlusion faces by Principal component analysis algorithm. After applying normalization method in occlusion faces false reject error rate is decreased.
