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.

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.

<p>Speaker recognition systems are classified according to their database, feature extraction techniques and classification methods. It is analyzed that there is a much need to work upon all the dimensions of forensic speaker recognition systems from the very beginning phase of database collection to recognition phase. The present work provides a structured approach towards developing a robust speech database collection for efficient speaker recognition system. The database required for both systems is entirely different. The databases for biometric systems are readily available while databases for forensic speaker recognition system are scarce. The paper also presents several databases available for speaker recognition systems.</p><p> </p>

In pattern recognition, feature extraction techniques have been widely employed to reduce the dimensionality of high-dimensional data. In this paper, we propose a novel feature extraction algorithm called membership-degree preserving discriminant analysis (MPDA) based on the fisher criterion and fuzzy set theory for face recognition. In the proposed algorithm, the membership degree of each sample to particular classes is firstly calculated by the fuzzyk-nearest neighbor (FKNN) algorithm to characterize the similarity between each sample and class centers, and then the membership degree is incorporated into the definition of the between-class scatter and the within-class scatter. The feature extraction criterion via maximizing the ratio of the between-class scatter to the within-class scatter is applied. Experimental results on the ORL, Yale, and FERET face databases demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.

Breast cancer is the primary and the most common disease found among women. Today, mammography is the most powerful screening technique used for early detection of cancer which increases the chance of successful treatment. In order to correctly detect the mammogram images as being cancerous or malignant, there is a need of a classier. With this objective, an attempt is made to analyze different feature extraction techniques and classiers. In the proposed system we rst do the preprocessing of the mammogram images, where the unwanted noise and disturbances in the mammograms are removed. Features are then extracted from the mammogram images using Gray Level Co-Occurrences Matrix (GLCM) and Scale Invariant Feature Transform (SIFT). Finally, the features are classied using classiers like HiCARe (Classier based on High Condence Association Rule Agreements), Support Vector Machine (SVM), Naïve Bayes classier and K-NN Classier. Further we test the images and classify them as benign or malignant class.

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.

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.
