Recently a lot of face recognition systems are being designed to identify individuals in a semi controlled environment where pose and illumination are controlled. However, in the case of newborns it is not easy to click the photographs with similar pose and illumination. Here, in this paper a hybrid approach using Speeded Up Robust Features (SURF) and Local Binary Pattern (LBP) is proposed for newborns. Moreover, in this paper the experiment is done for a single gallery image with improved results. It shows that the proposed method has 97.18% accuracy which is an 8% improvement over LBP and 8.6% improvement over SURF for Rank 5.

Large variation in facial appearances of the same individual makes most baseline Aging-Invariant Face Recognition Systems (AI-FRS) suffer from high automatic misclassification of faces. However, some Aging-Invariant Feature Extraction Techniques (AI-FET) for AI-FRS are emerging to help achieve good recognition results when compared to some baseline transformations in conditions with large amount of variations in facial texture and shape. However, the performance results of these AI-FET need to be further investigated statistically to avoid being misled. Statistical significance test can be used to logically justify such performance claims. The statistical significance test would serve as a decision rule to determine the degree of acceptability of the probability to make a wrong decision should such performance claims be found faulty. In this paper, the means between the quantitative results of emerging AI-FET (Histogram of Gradient (HoG), Principal Component Analysis-Linear Discriminant Analysis (PCA-LDA) and Local Binary Pattern-Gabor Wavelet Transform (LBP-GWT)) and the baseline aging-invariant techniques (Local Binary Pattern (LBP) and Gabor Wavelet Transform (GWT)) were computed and compared to determine if those means are statistically significantly different from each other using one-way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). The ANOVA results obtained at 0.05 critical significance level indicate that the results of the emerging AI-FET techniques are not statistically significantly different from those of baseline techniques because the F-critical value was found to be greater than the value of the calculated F-statistics in all the evaluations conducted.

Principal component analysis or PCA has been traditionally used as one of the feature extraction techniques in face recognition systems yielding high accuracy when requiring a small number of features. However, the covariance matrix and eigenvalue decomposition stages cause high computational complexity, especially for a large database. Thus, this research presents an alternative approach utilizing an Expectation-Maximization algorithm to reduce the determinant matrix manipulation resulting in the reduction of the stages’ complexity. To improve the computational time, a novel parallel architecture was employed to utilize the benefits of parallelization of matrix computation during feature extraction and classification stages including parallel preprocessing, and their combinations, so-called a Parallel Expectation-Maximization PCA architecture. Comparing to a traditional PCA and its derivatives, the results indicate lower complexity with an insignificant difference in recognition precision leading to high speed face recognition systems, that is, the speed-up over nine and three times over PCA and Parallel PCA.

Face recognition adalah bidang penelitian yang selalu menjadi topik penelitian dengan peminatan yang sangat besar. Berbagai potensial pengembangan aplikasi, dari sistem keamanan individu hingga untuk sistem control dan sistem surveillance. Algoritma pengenalan wajah telah diusulkan oleh banyak peneliti. Metode pengenalan wajah dengan performa yang baik seperti eigenfaces, fisherfaces, jaringan saraf tiruan, elastic bunch graph matching, laplacian faces, dan lainnya. Performa dari algoritma ini awalnya diuji pada gambar wajah yang dikumpulkan di bawah lingkungan kontrol yang baik pada kondisi studio dan pencahayaan yang diatur, dan karenanya, sebagian besar mengalami kesulitan dalam mengatasi gambar alami, yang dapat ditangkap di bawah kondisi pencahayaan, pose, dan ekspresi wajah yang sangat bervariasi. Situasi menjadi lebih menantang ketika kombinasi variasi ini harus ditangani secara bersamaan. Kondisi pencahayaan berbeda menimbulkan hambatan vital dalam sistem pengenalan karena mereka sangat mempengaruhi penampilan gambar wajah dan meningkatkan variasi antar kelas. Pada penelitian ini, telah dibangun sistem pengenalan wajah menggunakan Local Binary Pattern (LBP) dengan total gambar pada basis data sebanyak 400 gambar yang diambil dari 25 kelas/responden. Menggunakan 2-fold cross validation dan jarak Euclidean, presisi tertinggi yang diraih system adalah sebesar 87,98% dengan variasi ekualisasi histogram tanpa menggunakan LBP.

Abstract This paper proposes a new face recognition system based on combining two feature extraction techniques: the Vander Lugt correlator (VLC) and Gabor ordinal measures (GOM). The proposed system relies on the execution speed of VLC and the robustness of GOM. In this system, we applied the Tan and Triggs and retina modeling enhancement techniques, which are well suited for VLC and GOM, respectively. We evaluated our system on the standard FERET probe data sets and on extended YaleB database. The obtained results exhibited better face recognition rates in a shorter execution time compared to the GOM technique.

To address the problem that the dimension of the feature vector extracted by Local Binary Pattern (LBP) for face recognition is too high and Principal Component Analysis (PCA) extract features are not the best classification features, an efficient feature extraction method using LBP, PCA and Maximum scatter difference (MSD) has been introduced in this paper. The original face image is firstly divided into sub-images, then the LBP operator is applied to extract the histogram feature. and the feature dimensions are further reduced by using PCA. Finally,MSD is performed on the reduced PCA-based feature.The experimental results on ORL and Yale database demonstrate that the proposed method can classify more effectively and can get higher recognition rate than the traditional recognition methods.

Recent research proves that face recognition systems can achieve high-quality results even in non-ideal environments. Edge detection techniques and feature extraction methods are popular mechanisms used in face recognition systems. Edge detection can be used to construct the face map in the image efficiently, in which feature extraction techniques generate the most suitable features that can identify human faces. In this study, we present a new and efficient face recognition system that uses various gradient-and Laplacian-based operators with a new feature extraction method. Different edge detection operators are exploited to obtain the best image edges. The new and robust method based on the slope of the linear regression, called SLP, uses the estimated face lines in its feature extraction step. Artificial neural network (ANN) is used as a classifier. To determine the best scheme that gives the best performance, we test combinations of various techniques such as (Sobel filter (SF), SLP/principal component analysis (PCA), ANN), (Prewitt filter(PF), SLP/PCA, ANN), (Roberts filter (RF), SLP/PCA, ANN), (zero cross filter (ZF), SLP/PCA, ANN), (Laplacian of Gaussian filter (LG), SLP/PCA, ANN), and (Canny filter(CF), SLP/PCA, ANN). The BIO ID dataset is used in the training and testing phases for the proposed face recognition system combinations. Experimental results indicate that the proposed schemes achieve satisfactory results with high-accuracy classification. Notably, the combinations of (SF, SLP, ANN) and (ZF, SLP, ANN) gain the best results and outperform all the other algorithm combinations.

In the practical reality of face recognition applications, the human face can have only a limited number of training images. However, it is known that, in general, increasing the number of training images also increases the performance of face recognition systems. In this case, a new set of training samples can be generated from the original samples, using the symmetry property of the face. Although many face recognition methods have been proposed in the literature, a robust face recognition system is still a challenging task. In this paper, recognition performance was improved by using the property of face symmetry. Moreover, the effects of illumination and pose variations were reduced. A Two-Dimensional Discrete Wavelet Transform, based on the Local Binary Pattern, which is a new approach for face recognition using symmetry, has been presented. The method has three main stages, preprocessing, feature extraction, and classification. A Two-Dimensional Discrete Wavelet Transform with Single-Level and Gaussian Low-Pass Filter were used, separately, for preprocessing. The Local Binary Pattern, Gray Level Co-Occurrence Matrix, and the Gabor filter were used for feature extraction, and the Euclidean Distance was used for classification. The proposed method was implemented and evaluated using the Olivetti Research Laboratory (ORL) and Yale datasets. This study also examined the importance of the preprocessing stage in a face recognition system. The experimental results showed that the proposed method had a recognition accuracy of 100%, for both the ORL and Yale datasets, and these recognition rates were higher than the methods in the literature.
