In a recent past, face recognition was one of the most popular methods and successful application of image processing field which is widely used in security and biometric applications. The innovation of new approaches to face identification technologies is continuously subject to building much strong face recognition algorithms. Face recognition in real-time applications has been fast-growing challenging and interesting. The human face identification process is not trivial task especially different face lighting and poses are captured to be matched. In this study, the proposed method is tested using a benchmark ORL database that contains 400 images of 40 persons as the variant posse, lighting, etc. Discrete avelet Transform technique is applied on the ORL database to enhance the accuracy and the recognition rate. The best recognition rate result obtained is 99.25%, when tested using 9 training images and 1 testing image with cosine distance measurement. The recognition rate Increased when applying 2-level of DWT with the bior5.5 filter on training image database and the test image. For feature extraction and dimension reduction, PCA is used. Euclidean distance, Manhattan distance, and Cosine distance are Distance measures used for the matching process.

Due to, the great electronic development, which reinforced the need to define people's identities, different methods, and databases to identification people's identities have emerged. In this paper, we compare the results of two texture analysis methods: Local Binary Pattern (LBP) and Local Ternary Pattern (LTP). The comparison based on comparing the extracting facial texture features of 40 and 401 subjects taken from ORL and UFI databases respectively. As well, the comparison has taken in the account using three distance measurements such as; Manhattan Distance (MD), Euclidean Distance (ED), and Cosine Distance (CD). Where the maximum accuracy of the LBP method (99.23%) is obtained with a Manhattan and ORL database, while the LTP method attained (98.76%) using the same distance and database. While, the facial database of UFI shows low quality, which is satisfied 75.98% and 73.82% recognition rates using LBP and LTP respectively with Manhattan distance.

This paper presents a methodology for Age-Invariant Face Recognition (AIFR), based on the optimization of deep learning features. The proposed method extracts deep learning features using transfer deep learning, extracted from the unprocessed face images. To optimize the extracted features, a Genetic Algorithm (GA) procedure is designed in order to select the most relevant features to the problem of identifying a person based on his/her facial images over different ages. For classification, K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN) classifiers with different distance metrics are investigated, i.e., Correlation, Euclidian, Cosine, and Manhattan distance metrics. Experimental results using a Manhattan distance KNN classifier achieves the best Rank-1 recognition rate of 86.2% and 96% on the standard FGNET and MORPH datasets, respectively. Compared to the state-of-the-art methods, our proposed method needs no preprocessing stages. In addition, the experiments show its privilege over other related methods.

A fast sparse representation face recognition algorithm based on Gabor dictionary and SL0 norm is proposed in this paper. The Gabor filters, which could effectively extract local directional features of the image at multiple scales, are less sensitive to variations of illumination, expression and camouflage. SL0 algorithm, with the advantages of calculation speed,require fewer measurement values by continuously differentiable function approximation L0 norm and reconstructed sparse signal by minimizing the approximate L0 norm. The algorithm obtain the local feature face by extracting the Gabor face feature, reduce the dimensions by principal component analysis, fast sparse classify by the SL0 norm. Under camouflage condition, The algorithm block the Gabor facial feature and improve the speed of formation of the Gabor dictionary. The experimental results on AR face database show that the proposed algorithm can improve recognition speed and recognition rate to some extent and can generalize well to the face recognition, even with a few training image per class.

Face recognition (FR) under varying lighting conditions is challenging, and exacting illumination invariant features is an effective approach to solve this problem. In this paper, we propose to utilize Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) for normalizing the illumination variance in images as well as for feature extraction. Individual stages of the FR system are examined and an attempt is made to improve each stage. A Binary Particle Swarm Optimization (BPSO) based feature selection algorithm is used to search the feature space for the optimal feature subset. Experimental results, obtained by applying the proposed algorithm on YaleB and Color FERET face databases, show that the proposed system outperforms other FR systems. A significant increase in the recognition rate and a substantial reduction in the number of features is observed. Dimensionality reduction obtained is more than 99% for both YaleB and Color FERET databases.

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.

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.

Face recognition has received a great attention from a lot of researchers in computer vision, pattern recognition, and human machine computer interfaces in recent years. Designing a face recognition system is a complex task due to the wide variety of illumination, pose, and facial expression. A lot of approaches have been developed to find the optimal space in which face feature descriptors are well distinguished and separated. Face representation using Gabor features and discrete wavelet has attracted considerable attention in computer vision and image processing. We describe in this paper a face recognition system using artificial neural networks like multilayer perceptron (MLP) and radial basis function (RBF) where Gabor and discrete wavelet based feature extraction methods are proposed for the extraction of features from facial images using two facial databases: the ORL and computer vision. Good recognition rate was obtained using Gabor and DWT parameterization with MLP classifier applied for computer vision dataset.

In this work, deep learning methods are used to classify the facial images. ORL Database is used for the purpose of training the models and for testing. Three kinds of models are developed and their performances are measured. Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN), Convolutional Neural Network Based Inception Model with single training image per class (CNN-INC) and Convolutional Neural Network Based Inception Model with several training images per class (CNN-INC-MEAN) are developed. The ORL database has ten facial images for each person. Five images are used for training purpose and remaining 5 images are used for testing. The five images for the training are chosen randomly so that two sets of training and testing data is generated. The models are trained and tested on the two sets that are drawn from the same population. The results are presented for accuracy of face recognition

Face recognition is an extreme topic in security field which identifies humans through physiological or behavioral biometric characteristics. Face recognition can also identify the human almost in a precise detection; one of the primary problems in face recognition is the accurate recognition rate. Local datasets use for implementing this research rather than using public datasets. Midian filter uses to remove noise and identify errors, also obtains a good accuracy rate without modifying image quality. In addition, filter processing applies to modify and progress images and the discrete wavelet transforms algorithm uses as feature extraction. Many steps are applied in this approach such as image acquisition, converting images into gray scale, cropping the image, and then passing to the feature extraction. In order to get the final decision about the indicated face, some required steps are used in the comparison. The results show the accuracy of 91% of the recognition rate through the human face.

Heterogeneous Face Recognition (HFR) is a challenging task due to large modality discrepancy as well as insufficient training images in certain modalities. In this paper, we propose a new two-branch network architecture, termed as Residual Compensation Networks (RCN), to learn separated features for different modalities in HFR. The RCN incorporates a residual compensation (RC) module and a modality discrepancy loss (MD loss) into traditional convolutional neural networks. The RC module reduces modal discrepancy by adding compensation to one of the modalities so that its representation can be close to the other modality. The MD loss alleviates modal discrepancy by minimizing the cosine distance between different modalities. In addition, we explore different architectures and positions for the RC module, and evaluate different transfer learning strategies for HFR. Extensive experiments on IIIT-D Viewed Sketch, Forensic Sketch, CASIA NIR-VIS 2.0 and CUHK NIR-VIS show that our RCN outperforms other state-of-the-art methods significantly.
