During the previous few centuries, facial recognition systems have become a popular research topic. On account of its extraordinary success and vast social applications; it has attracted significant study attention from a wide range of disciplines in the last five years - including “computer-vision”, “artificial-intelligence”, and “machine-learning”. As with most face recognition systems, the fundamental goal involves recognizing a person's identity by means of images, video, data streams, and context information. As a result of our research; we've outlined some of the most important applications, difficulties, and trends in scientific and social domains. This research, the primary goal is to summarize modern facial recognition algorithms and to gain a general perceptive of how these techniques act on diverse datasets. Aside from that, we also explore some significant problems like illumination variation, position, aging, occlusion, cosmetics, scale, and background are some of the primary challenges we examine. In addition to traditional face recognition approaches, the most recent research topics such as sparse models, deep learning, and fuzzy set theory are examined in depth. There's also a quick discussion of basic techniques, as well as a more in-depth. As a final point, this research explores the future of facial recognition technologies and their possible importance in the emerging digital society.

Face recognition is one of the important applications of image processing and it has gained significant attention in wide range of law enforcement areas in which security is of prime concern. Although the existing automated machine recognition systems have certain level of maturity but their accomplishments are limited due to real time challenges. Face recognition systems are impressively sensitive to appearance variations due to lighting, expression and aging. The major metric in modeling the performance of a face recognition system is its accuracy of recognition. This paper proposes a novel method which improves the recognition accuracy as well as avoids face datasets being tampered through image splicing techniques. Proposed method uses a non-statistical procedure which avoids training step for face samples thereby avoiding generalizability problem which is caused due to statistical learning procedure. This proposed method performs well with images with partial occlusion and images with lighting variations as the local patch of the face is divided into several different patches. The performance improvement is shown considerably high in terms of recognition rate and storage space by storing train images in compressed domain and selecting significant features from superset of feature vectors for actual recognition.

Facial recognition has attracted the attention of researchers and has been one of the most prominent topics in the fields of image processing and pattern recognition since 1990. This resulted in a very large number of recognition methods and techniques with the aim of increasing the accuracy and robustness of existing systems. Many techniques have been developed to address the challenges and reliable recognition systems have been reached but require considerable processing time, suffer from high memory consumption and are relatively complex. The focus of this paper is on extracting subset of descriptors (less correlated and less calculations) from the co-occurrence matrix with the goal of enhancing the performance of Haralick’s descriptors. Improvements are achieved by adding the image pre-processing and selecting the proper method according to the database problem and by extracting features from image local regions.

Whilst facial recognition systems are vulnerable to different acquisition conditions, most notably lighting effects and pose variations, their particular level of sensitivity to facial aging effects is yet to be researched. The face recognition vendor test (FRVT) 2012's annual statement estimated deterioration in the performance of face recognition systems due to facial aging. There was about 5% degradation in the accuracies of the face recognition systems for each single year age difference between a test image and a probe image. Consequently, developing an age-invariant platform continues to be a significant requirement for building an effective facial recognition system. The main objective of this work is to address the challenge of facial aging which affects the performance of facial recognition systems. Accordingly, this work presents a geometrical model that is based on extracting a number of triangular facial features. The proposed model comprises a total of six triangular areas connecting and surrounding the main facial features (i.e. eyes, nose and mouth). Furthermore, a set of thirty mathematical relationships are developed and used for building a feature vector for each sample image. The areas and perimeters of the extracted triangular areas are calculated and used as inputs for the developed mathematical relationships. The performance of the system is evaluated over the publicly available face and gesture recognition research network (FG-NET) face aging database. The performance of the system is compared with that of some of the state-of-the-art face recognition methods and state-of-the-art age-invariant face recognition systems. Our proposed system yielded a good performance in term of classification accuracy of more than 94%.


Similarity Measures for Face Recognition Face recognition has several applications, including security, such as (authentication and identification of device users and criminal suspects), and in medicine (corrective surgery and diagnosis). Facial recognition programs rely on algorithms that can compare and compute the similarity between two sets of images. This eBook explains some of the similarity measures used in facial recognition systems in a single volume. Readers will learn about various measures including Minkowski distances, Mahalanobis distances, Hansdorff distances, cosine-based distances, among other methods. The book also summarizes errors that may occur in face recognition methods. Computer scientists "facing face" and looking to select and test different methods of computing similarities will benefit from this book. The book is also useful tool for students undertaking computer vision courses.

Face recognition has become a popular topic of research recently due to increases in demand for security as well as the rapid development of mobile devices. There are many applications which face recognition can be applied to such as access control, identity verification, security systems, surveillance systems, and social media networks. Access control includes offices, computers, phones, ATMs, etc. Most of these forms currently do not use face recognition as the standard form of granting entry, but with advancing technologies in computers along with more refined algorithms, facial recognition is gaining some traction in replacing passwords and fingerprint scanners. Ever since the events of 9/11 there has been a more concerned emphasis on developing security systems to ensure the safety of innocent citizens. Namely in places such as airports and border crossings where identification verification is necessary, face recognition systems potentially have the ability to mitigate the risk and ultimately prevent future attacks from occurring. As for surveillance systems, the same point can be made if there are criminals on the loose. Surveillance cameras with face recognition abilities can aide in efforts of finding these individuals. Alternatively, these same surveillance systems can also help identify the whereabouts of missing persons, although this is dependent on robust facial recognition algorithms as well as a fully developed database of faces. And lastly, facial recognition has surfaced in social media applications on platforms such as Facebook which suggest users to tag friends who have been identified in pictures. It is clear that there are many applications the uses for facial recognition systems. In general, the steps to achieve this are the following: face detection, feature extraction, and lastly training a model.

Face recognition is one of the main tasks of computer vision, which is relevant due to its practical significance and great interest of wide range of scientists. It has many applications, which has led to a huge amount of research in this area. And although research in the field has been going on since the beginning of the computer vision, good results could be achieved only with the help of convolutional neural networks. In this work, a comparative analysis of facial recognition methods before convolutional neural networks was performed. A metric learning approach, augmentations and learning rate schedulers are considered. There were performed bunch of experiments and comparative analysis of the considered methods of improvement of convolutional neural networks. As a result a universal algorithm for training the face recognition model was obtained. In this work, we used SE-ResNet50 as the only neural network for experiments. Metric learning is a method by which it is possible to achieve good accuracy in face recognition. Overfitting is a big problem of neural networks, in particular because they have too many parameters and usually not enough data to guarantee the generalization of the model. Additional data labeling can be time-consuming and expensive, so there is such an approach as augmentation. Augmentations artificially increase the training dataset, so as expected, this method improved the results relative to the original experiment in all experiments. Different degrees and more aggressive forms of augmentation in this work led to better results. As expected, the best learning rate scheduler was cosine scheduler with warm-ups and restarts. This schedule has few parameters, so it is also easy to use. In general, using different approaches, we were able to obtain an accuracy of 93,5 %, which is 22 % better than the baseline experiment. In the following studies, it is planned to consider improving not only the model of facial recognition, but also detection. The accuracy of face detection directly depends on the quality of face recognition.

Abstract Over the years, face recognition has been the research topic that has attracted many researchers around the world. One of the most significant applications of face recognition is the access control system. The access control system allows authorized persons to enter or exit certain or restricted areas. As a result, it will increase the security situation without over-investment in staff security. The access information can be the identification, time, and location, etc. It can be used to carry out human resource management tasks such as attendance and inspection of employees in a more fair and transparent manner. Although face recognition has been widely used in access control systems because of its better accuracy and convenience without requiring too much user cooperation, the 2D-based face recognition systems also retain many limitations due to the variations in pose and illumination. By analyzing facial geometries, 3D facial recognition systems can theoretically overcome the disadvantages of prior 2D methods and improve robustness in different working conditions. In this paper, we propose the 3D facial recognition algorithm for use in an access control system. The proposed algorithm includes the preprocessing, feature extraction, and classification stages. The application of the proposed access control system is the automatic sliding door, the controller of the system, the web-based monitoring, control, and storage of data.

Video processing has gained significant attention due to the rapid growth in video feed collected from a variety of domains. Face recognition and summary generation is gaining attention in the branch of video data processing. The recognition includes face identification from video frames and face authentication. The face authentication is nothing but labelling the faces. Face recognition strategies used in image processing techniques cannot be directly applied to video processing due to bulk data. The video processing techniques face multiple problems such as pose variation, expression variation, illumination variation, camera angles, etc. A lot of research work is done for face authentication in terms of accuracy and efficiency improvement. The second important aspect is the video summarization. Very few works have been done on the video summarization due to its complexity, computational overhead, and lack of appropriate training data. In some of the existing work analysing celebrity video for finding association in name node or face node of video dataset using graphical representation need script or dynamic caption details As well as there can be multiple faces of same person per frame so using K- Means clustering further for recognition purpose needs cluster count initially   considering total person in the video. The proposed system works on video face recognition and summary generation. The system automatically identifies the front and profile faces of users. The similar faces are grouped together using threshold based a fixed-width clustering which is one of the novel approach in face recognition process best of our knowledge and only top k faces are used for authentication. This improves system efficiency. After face authentication, the occurrence count of each user is extracted and a visual co-occurrence graph is generated as a video summarization. The system is tested on the video dataset of multi persons occurring in different videos. Total 20 videos are consider for training and testing containing multiple person in one frame. To evaluate the accuracy of recognition. 80% of faces are correctly identified and authenticated from the video.

Abstract Face recognition is categorized as a biometric technology that employs the use of computer ability in image processing to detect and recognize human faces. Face recognition system has numerous applications for many purposes such as for access control, law enforcement and surveillance thus this system is dominant in present technology. Generally, face recognition system become more advance in term of the accuracy and implementation. However, there are a few parameters that effects the accuracy of recognition system for examples, the pose invariant, illumination effect, size of image and noise tolerance. Even though there are a number of systems were already available in the literature, the complete understanding of their performances are relatively limited. This is due to many systems focused on a narrow application band – therefore, a comprehensive analysis are needed in order to understand their performances leading to establishing the conditions for successful face recognition system. In this paper we developed a synthetic model to represent facial images to be used as a platform for performance analysis of facial recognition systems. The model includes 5 face types with the ability to vary all parameters that are affecting recognition performance – measurement noise, face size and face-background intensity differences. The model is important as it provide an avenue for performance analysis of facial recognition systems.

The rapid developments in technology have an increasing impact and use on biometric person recognition systems. Facial recognition-based systems, one of the biometric person recognition systems, have been widely used in recent years thanks to their easy implementation, fast integration and simple usage as they do not require any additional equipment. Especially the widespread use of computer vision and cloud-computing based applications, smart face recognition systems have become an indispensable part of our lives in recent years. The use of these systems, which have become widespread in security, health, education, military, shopping mall and industrial areas, has increased more during the pandemic period. Institutions and organizations do not want to allocate time and cost to write their own software for face recognition based systems. The services offered by major cloud computing providers can be used to solve this problem. In this context, the article presents a smart announcement system design using cloud computing based face recognition technology. In the past, making an announcement has been seen as a difficult task. It was thought to be a time consuming task, both because of the cost of printing and because all the operations had to be repeated when there were changes in the announcement. Today, signs have left their places to digital screens. It will especially ensure that announcements, warnings, promotions, and notifications are performed effectively at the developed system for large scale institutions, organizations, factories, universities, shopping malls and health institutions. Facial recognition based smart announcement system detects features such as person recognition, gender, and age estimation at a rate of 100% and displays personal announcements according to their priority status. In addition, according to the experimental studies, it was observed that the person recognition and the presentation of the announcements on the screen took an average of 1.3 seconds. According to the announcement system survey, 85% of those who use the system stated that it is useful and user-friendly.
