Face recognition is one of the emergent technologies that has been used in many applications. It is a process of labeling pictures, especially those with human faces. One of the critical applications of face recognition is security monitoring, where captured images are compared to thousands, or even millions, of stored images. The problem occurs when different types of noise manipulate the captured images. This paper contributes to the body of knowledge by proposing an innovative framework for face recognition based on various descriptors, including the following: Color and Edge Directivity Descriptor (CEDD), Fuzzy Color and Texture Histogram Descriptor (FCTH), Color Histogram, Color Layout, Edge Histogram, Gabor, Hashing CEDD, Joint Composite Descriptor (JCD), Joint Histogram, Luminance Layout, Opponent Histogram, Pyramid of Gradient Histograms Descriptor (PHOG), Tamura. The proposed framework considers image set indexing and retrieval phases with multi-feature descriptors. The examined dataset contains 23,707 images of different genders and ages, ranging from 1 to 116 years old. The framework is extensively examined with different image filters such as random noise, rotation, cropping, glow, inversion, and grayscale. The indexer’s performance is measured based on a distributed environment based on sample size and multiprocessors as well as multithreads. Moreover, image retrieval performance is measured using three criteria: rank, score, and accuracy. The implemented framework was able to recognize the manipulated images using different descriptors with a high accuracy rate. The proposed innovative framework proves that image descriptors could be efficient in face recognition even with noise added to the images based on the outcomes. The concluded results are as follows: (a) the Edge Histogram could be best used with glow, gray, and inverted images; (b) the FCTH, Color Histogram, Color Layout, and Joint Histogram could be best used with cropped images; and (c) the CEDD could be best used with random noise and rotated images.

Seeing that human face features are unique, an increasing number of face recognition algorithms on existing ATM are proposed. Since face detection is a primary link of face recognition, our system adopts AdaBoost algorithm which is based on face detection. Experiment results demonstrated that the computing time of face detection using this algorithm is about 70ms, and the single and multiple human faces can be effectively measured under well environment, which meets the demand of the system.

Attendance management can become a tedious task for teachers if it is performed manually.. This problem can be solved with the help of an automatic attendance management system. But validation is one of the main issues in the system. Generally, biometrics are used in the smart automatic attendance system. Managing attendance with the help of face recognition is one of the biometric methods with better efficiency as compared to others. Smart Attendance with the help of instant face recognition is a real-life solution that helps in handling daily life activities and maintaining a student attendance system. Face recognition-based attendance system uses face biometrics which is based on high resolution monitor video and other technologies to recognize the face of the student. In project, the system will be able to find and recognize human faces fast and accurately with the help of images or videos that will be captured through a surveillance camera. It will convert the frames of the video into images so that our system can easily search that image in the attendance database.

Face recognition from the images is challenging due to the wide variability of face appearances and the complexity of the image background. This paper proposes a novel approach for recognizing the human faces. The recognition is done by comparing the characteristics of the new face to that of known individuals. It has Face localization part, where mouth end point and eyeballs will be obtained. In feature Extraction, Distance between eyeballs and mouth end point will be calculated. The recognition is performed by Neural Network (NN) using Back Propagation Networks (BPN) and Radial Basis Function (RBF) networks. The recognition performance of the proposed method is tabulated based on the experiments performed on a number of images.

Recognition of human faces has been a fascinating subject in research field for many years. It is considered a multidisciplinary field because it includes understanding different domains such as psychology, neuroscience, computer vision, artificial intelligence, mathematics, and many others. Human face perception is intriguing and draws our attention because we accomplish the task so well that we hope to one day witness a machine performing the same task in a similar or better way. This chapter aims to provide a systematic and practical approach regarding to one of the most current techniques applied on face recognition, known as AAM (Active Appearance Model). AAM method is addressed considering 2D face processing only. This chapter doesn’t cover the entire theme, but offers to the reader the necessary tools to construct a consistent and productive pathway toward this involving subject.

Abstract We compared face recognition of humans and fandom-themed characters (art and costumes) between a sample of furries (fans of anthropomorphic animal art) and non-furries. Participants viewed images that included humans, drawn anthropomorphic animals, and anthropomorphic animal costumes, and were later tested on their ability to recognize faces from a subset of the viewed images. While furries and non-furries did not differ in their recollection of human faces, furries showed significantly better memory for faces in furry-themed artwork and costumes. The results are discussed in relation to own-group bias in face recognition.

The problem of recognizing human faces from frontal views with varying illumination, occlusion, and disguise is a great challenge to pattern recognition. A general knowledge is that face patterns from an objective set sit on a linear subspace. On the proof of the knowledge, some methods use the linear combination to represent a sample in face recognition. In this paper, in order to get the more discriminant information of reconstruction error, we constrain both the linear combination coefficients and the reconstruction error by l1-minimization which is not apt to be disturbed by outliners. Then, through an equivalent transformation of the model, it is convenient to compute the parameters in a new underdetermined linear system. Next, we use an optimization method to get the approximate solution. As a result, the minimum reconstruction error has contained much valuable discriminating information. The gradient of this variable is measured to decide the final recognition. The experiments show that the recognition protocol based on the reconstruction error achieves high performance on available databases (Extended Yale B and AR Face database).

This paper proposes a complete procedure for the extraction and recognition of human faces in complex scenes. The morphology-based face detection algorithm can locate multiple faces oriented in any direction. The recognition algorithm is based on the minimum classification error (MCE) criterion. In our work, the minimum classification error formulation is incorporated into a multilayer perceptron neural network. Experimental results show that our system is robust to noisy images and complex background.
