<abstract> <p>With the popularization and application of face recognition technology, a large number of face image data are spread and used on the Internet. It has brought great potential safety hazard for personal privacy. Combined with the characteristics of tent chaos and Henon chaos, a THM (tent-Henon map) chaotic encrypted face algorithm based on Ridgelet-DCT transform is proposed in this paper. Different from conventional face recognition methods, this new approach encryptes the face images by means of using the homomorphic encryption method to extract their visual robust features in the first place, and then uses the proposed neural network model to design the encrypted face recognition algorithm. This paper selects the ORL face database of Cambridge University to verify the algorithm. Experimental results show that the algorithm has a good performance in encryption effect, security and robustness, and has a broad application prospect.</p> </abstract>

In the contactless delivery scenario, the self-pickup cabinet is an important terminal delivery device, and face recognition is one of the efficient ways to achieve contactless access express delivery. In order to effectively recognize face images under unrestricted environments, an unrestricted face recognition algorithm based on transfer learning is proposed in this study. First, the region extraction network of the faster RCNN algorithm is improved to improve the recognition speed of the algorithm. Then, the first transfer learning is applied between the large ImageNet dataset and the face image dataset under restricted conditions. The second transfer learning is applied between face image under restricted conditions and unrestricted face image datasets. Finally, the unrestricted face image is processed by the image enhancement algorithm to increase its similarity with the restricted face image, so that the second transfer learning can be carried out effectively. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm has better recognition rate and recognition speed on the CASIA-WebFace dataset, FLW dataset, and MegaFace dataset.

Face recognition underpins numerous applications; however, the task is still challenging mainly due to the variability of facial pose appearance. The existing methods show competitive performance but they are still short of what is needed. This article presents an effective three-dimensional pose invariant face recognition approach based on subject-specific descriptors. This results in state-of-the-art performance and delivers competitive accuracies. In our method, the face images are registered by transforming their acquisition pose into frontal view using three-dimensional variance of the facial data. The face recognition algorithm is initialized by detecting iso-depth curves in a coordinate plane perpendicular to the subject gaze direction. In this plane, discriminating keypoints are detected on the iso-depth curves of the facial manifold to define subject-specific descriptors using subject-specific regions. Importantly, the proposed descriptors employ Kernel Fisher Analysis-based features leading to the face recognition process. The proposed approach classifies unseen faces by pooling performance figures obtained from underlying classification algorithms. On the challenging data sets, FRGC v2.0 and GavabDB, our method obtains face recognition accuracies of 99.8% and 100% yielding superior performance compared to the existing methods.

In order to solve the problem of low recognition accuracy in recognition of 3D face images collected by traditional sensors, a face recognition algorithm for 3D point cloud collected by mixed image sensors is proposed. The algorithm first uses the 3D wheelbase to expand the face image edge. According to the 3D wheelbase, the noise of extended image is detected, and median filtering is used to eliminate the detected noise. Secondly, the priority of the boundary pixels to recognize the face image in the denoising image recognition process is determined, and the key parts such as the illuminance line are analyzed, so that the recognition of the 3D point cloud face image is completed. Experiments show that the proposed algorithm improves the recognition accuracy of 3D face images, which recognition time is lower than that of the traditional algorithm by about 4 times, and the recognition efficiency is high.

Illumination effects, including shadows and varying lighting, make the problem of face recognition challenging. Experimental and theoretical results show that the face images under different illumination conditions approximately lie in a low-dimensional subspace, hence principal component analysis (PCA) or low-dimensional subspace techniques have been used. Following this spirit, we propose new techniques for the face recognition problem, including an outlier detection strategy (mainly for those points not following the Lambertian reflectance model), and a new error criterion for the recognition algorithm. Experiments using the Yale-B face database show the effectiveness of the new strategies.

The Gabor wavelets are used to extract facial features, and then a doubly nonlinear mapping kernel PCA (DKPCA) is proposed to perform feature transformation and face recognition. The conventional kernel PCA nonlinearly maps an input image into a high-dimensional feature space in order to make the mapped features linearly separable. However, this method does not consider the structural characteristics of the face images, and it is difficult to determine which nonlinear mapping is more effective for face recognition. In this work, a new method of nonlinear mapping, which is performed in the original feature space, is defined. The proposed nonlinear mapping not only considers the statistical properties of the input features, but also adopts an Eigen mask to emphasize those important facial feature points The proposed algorithm is evaluated based on the Yale database, the AR database, the ORL database and the YaleB database.

As many objects in the human ambient environment are intellectualized and networked, research on IoT technology have increased to improve the quality of human life. This paper suggests an LDA-based long distance face recognition algorithm to enhance the intelligent IoT interface. While the existing face recognition algorithm uses single distance image as training images, the proposed algorithm uses face images at distance extracted from 1m to 5m as training images. In the proposed LDA-based long distance face recognition algorithm, the bilinear interpolation is used to normalize the size of the face image and a Euclidean Distance measure is used for the similarity measure. As a result, the proposed face recognition algorithm is improved in its performance by 6.1% at short distance and 31.0% at long distance, so it is expected to be applicable for USN?s robot and surveillance security systems.

Face recognition has gained prominence among the various biometric-based methods (such as fingerprint and iris) due to its noninvasive characteristics. Modern face recognition modules/algorithms have been successful in many application areas (access control, entertainment/leisure, security system based on biometric data, and user-friendly human-machine interfaces). In spite of these achievements, the performance of current face recognition algorithms/modules is still inhibited by varying environmental constraints such as occlusions, expressions, varying poses, illumination, and ageing. This study assessed the performance of Principal Component Analysis with singular value decomposition using Fast Fourier Transform (FFT-PCA/SVD) for preprocessing the face recognition algorithm on left and right reconstructed face images. The study found that average recognition rates for the FFT-PCA/SVD algorithm were 95% and 90% when the left and right reconstructed face images are used as test images, respectively. The result of the paired sample t-test revealed that the average recognition distances for the left and right reconstructed face images are not significantly different when FFT-PCA/SVD is used for recognition. FFT-PCA/SVD is recommended as a viable algorithm for recognition of left and right reconstructed face images.

A contactless delivery cabinet is an important courier self-pickup device, for the reason that COVID-19 can be transmitted by human contact. During the pandemic period of COVID-19, wearing a mask to take delivery is a common application scenario, which makes the study of masked face recognition algorithm greatly significant. A masked face recognition algorithm based on attention mechanism is proposed in this paper in order to improve the recognition rate of masked face images. First, the masked face image is separated by the local constrained dictionary learning method, and the face image part is separated. Then, the dilated convolution is used to reduce the resolution reduction in the subsampling process. Finally, according to the important feature information of the face image, the attention mechanism neural network is used to reduce the information loss in the subsampling process and improve the face recognition rate. In the experimental part, the RMFRD and SMFRD databases of Wuhan University were selected to compare the recognition rate. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm has a better recognition rate.

Internet of Things is considerably increasing the levels of convenience at homes. The smart door lock is an entry product for smart homes. This work used Raspberry Pi, because of its low cost, as the main control board to apply face recognition technology to a door lock. The installation of the control sensing module with the GPIO expansion function of Raspberry Pi also improved the antitheft mechanism of the door lock. For ease of use, a mobile application (hereafter, app) was developed for users to upload their face images for processing. The app sends the images to Firebase and then the program downloads the images and captures the face as a training set. The face detection system was designed on the basis of machine learning and equipped with a Haar built-in OpenCV graphics recognition program. The system used four training methods: convolutional neural network, VGG-16, VGG-19, and ResNet50. After the training process, the program could recognize the user’s face to open the door lock. A prototype was constructed that could control the door lock and the antitheft system and stream real-time images from the camera to the app.

In a real world application, we seldom get all images at one time. Considering this case, if a company hired an employee, all his images information needs to be recorded into the system; if we rerun the face recognition algorithm, it will be time consuming. To address this problem, In this paper, firstly, we proposed a novel subspace incremental method called incremental graph regularized nonnegative matrix factorization (IGNMF) algorithm which imposes manifold into incremental nonnegative matrix factorization algorithm (INMF); thus, our new algorithm is able to preserve the geometric structure in the data under incremental study framework; secondly, considering we always get many face images belonging to one person or many different people as a batch, we improved our IGNMF algorithms to Batch-IGNMF algorithms (B-IGNMF), which implements incremental study in batches. Experiments show that (1) the recognition rate of our IGNMF and B-IGNMF algorithms is close to GNMF algorithm while it runs faster than GNMF. (2) The running times of our IGNMF and B-IGNMF algorithms are close to INMF while the recognition rate outperforms INMF. (3) Comparing with other popular NMF-based face recognition incremental algorithms, our IGNMF and B-IGNMF also outperform then both the recognition rate and the running time.
