In this chapter, we propose a pose variability compensation technique, which synthesizes realistic frontal face images from nonfrontal views. It is based on modeling the face via active appearance models and estimating the pose through a correlation model. The proposed technique is coupled with adaptive principal component analysis (APCA), which was previously shown to perform well in the presence of both lighting and expression variations. The proposed recognition techniques, though advanced, are not computationally intensive. So they are quite well suited to the embedded system environment. Indeed, the authors have implemented an early prototype of a face recognition module on a mobile camera phone so the camera can be used to identify the person holding the phone.

A methodology for makeup invariant robust face recognition based on features from accelerated segment test and Eigen vectors is proposed. Makeup and cosmetic changes in face have been a major cause of security breaches since long time. It is not only difficult for human eyes to catch an imposter but also an equally daunting task for a face recognition system to correctly identify an individual owing to changes brought about in face due to makeup. As a crucial pre-processing step, the face is first divided into various segments centered on the eyes, nose, lips and cheeks. FAST algorithm is then applied over the face images. The features thus derived from the facial image act as the fiducial points for that face. Thereafter principal component analysis is applied over the set of fiducial points in each segment of every face image present in the data sets in order to compute the Eigen vectors and the Eigen values. The resultant principal component which is the Eigen vector with the highest Eigen value yields the direction of the features in that segment. The principal components thus obtained using fiducial points generated from FAST in each segment of the test and the training data are compared in order to get the best match or no match.

The traditional approach of student attendance monitoring system in Universiti Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia is slow and disruptive. As a solution, biometric verification based on face recognition for student attendance monitoring was presented. The face recognition system consisted of five main stages. Firstly, face images under various conditions were acquired. Next, face detection was performed using the Viola Jones algorithm to detect the face in the original image. The original image was minimized and transformed into grayscale for faster computation. Histogram techniques of oriented gradients was applied to extract the features from the grayscale images, followed by the principal component analysis (PCA) in dimension reduction stage. Face recognition, the last stage of the entire system, using support vector machine (SVM) as classifier. The development of a graphical user interface for student attendance monitoring was also involved. The highest face recognition accuracy of 62% was achieved. The obtained results are less promising which warrants further analysis and improvement.

Face detection is the power to identify a face and recognition is the ability to recognize whose face it is by means of facial characteristics. Face is multivariate and requires a lot of mathematical summation. Almost all imperative applications use a face recognition system. There are many methods that have been already proposed which provides low recognition rate. Hence, the main task of research is to develop a face recognition system with higher recognition capability and better accuracy. This paper proposes Face recognition system by combining two techniques Viola Jones and Principal Component Analysis. An approach of Eigen faces is employed in Principle Component Analysis(PCA). The face recognition system is implemented in MATLAB.

Human face is a complex and dynamic structure. It is a challenge to be able to make a face recognition system like humans. At the beginning of its development, many facial recognition studies only focused on facial features. In 1991, Turk and Pentland developed a face recognition system based on Principal Component Analysis named eigenface. This system is very efficient because it only focuses on components that most affect facial image. However, this system has weaknesses, which cannot be used to determine the position of the face. In this final project, image processing methods will be carried out to detect faces in digital images. The method used is eye mouth triangular approach with the steps being taken are skin detection, eye detection, mouth detection, and facial confirmation. From the results of a hundred digital color images tested, there were 82 images that were successfully detected. The main system failure is caused by failure in skin detection. Further development is needed so that the system can work optimally.

Face detection is the key point in automatic face recognition system. This paper introduces the face detection algorithm with a cascade of Adaboost classifiers and how to configure OpenCV in MCVS. Using OpenCV realized the face detection. And a detailed analysis of the face detection results is presented. Through experiment, we found that the method used in this article has a high accuracy rate and better real-time.


Now a days one of the critical factors that affects the recognition performance of any face recognition system is partial occlusion. The paper addresses face recognition in the presence of sunglasses and scarf occlusion. The face recognition approach that we proposed, detects the face region that is not occluded and then uses this region to obtain the face recognition. To segment the occluded and non-occluded parts, adaptive Fuzzy C-Means Clustering is used and for recognition Minimum Cost Sub-Block Matching Distance(MCSBMD) are used. The input face image is divided in to number of sub blocks and each block is checked if occlusion present or not and only from non-occluded blocks MWLBP features are extracted and are used for classification. Experiment results shows our method is giving promising results when compared to the other conventional techniques.

The Face recognition and image or video recognition are popular research topics in biometric technology. Real-time face recognition is an exciting field and a rapidly evolving issue. Key component analysis (PCA) may be a statistical technique collectively called correlational analysis . The goal of PCA is to scale back the massive amount of knowledge storage to the dimensions of the functional space required to render the face recognition system. The wide one-dimensional pixel vector generated from the two-dimensional image of the face and therefore the basic elements of the spatial function are designed for face recognition using PCA. this is often the projection of your own space. Sufficient space is decided by the brand. specialise in the eigenvectors of the covariance matrix of the fingerprint image collection. i'm building a camera-based real-time face recognition system and installing an algorithm. Use OpenCV, Haar Cascade, Eigen face, Fisher Face, LBPH and Python for program development.

In this paper, a robust and efficient face recognition system based on luminance distribution by using maximum likelihood estimation is proposed. The distribution of luminance components of the face region is acquired and applied to maximum likelihood test for face matching. The experimental results showed that the proposed method has a high recognition rate and requires less computation time.
