Over past decade, behavioral biometric systems based on face recognition became leading commercial systems that meet the need for fast and efficient confirmation of a person's identity. Facial recognition works on biometric samples, like image or video frames, to recognize people. The performance of an automated face recognition system has a strong relationship with the quality of the biometric samples. In this chapter, the authors propose a quality estimation method based on a linear regression analysis to characterize the relationship between different quality factors and the performance of a face recognition system. The regression model can predict the overall quality of a facial sample which reflects the effects of various quality factors on that sample. The authors evaluated the quality estimation model on the Extended Yale Database B, finally formulating a data set of samples which will enable efficient implementation of biometric facial recognition.

Nowadays, biometric technologies became reliable and widespread means of unobtrusive user authentication in a variety of real-world applications. The performance of an automated face recognition system has a strong relationship with the quality of the biometric samples. The facial samples can be affected by various quality factors, such as uneven illumination, low or high contrast, excessive brightness, blurriness, etc. In this article, the authors propose a quality estimation method based on linear regression analysis to characterize the relationship between different quality factors and the performance of a face recognition system. The regression model can predict the overall quality of a facial sample which reflects the effects of various quality factors on that sample. The weights assigned to the different quality factors by the linear regression model reflect the impact of those quality factors on the performance of the recognition system. Therefore, the prediction scores generated from the model is a strong indicator of the overall quality of the facial images. The authors evaluated the quality estimation model on the Extended Yale Database B. They also performed a study to understand which quality factors affect the face recognition the most.

Many researches have been going on since last two decades for object recognition, shape matching, and pattern recognition in the field of computer vision. Face recognition is one of the important issues in object recognition and computer vision. Many face image datasets, related competitions, and evaluation programs have encouraged innovation, producing more powerful facial recognition technology with promising results. In recent years, we have witnessed tremendous improvements in face recognition performance from complex deep neural network architectures trained on millions of face images. Face recognition is the most important biometric and stills many challenges such as pose variation, illumination variation, etc. In order to achieve the desired performance when deploying in reality, the methods depend on many factors. One of the main factors is quality of input image. Therefore, facial recognition systems is installed outdoors which are always affected by extreme weather events such as haze, fog. The existence of haze dramatically degrades the visibility of outdoor images captured in inclement weather and affects many high-level computer vision tasks such as detection and recognition system. In this paper, we propose a preprocessing method to remove haze from input images that enhances their quality to improve effectiveness and recognition rate for face identification based on Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) based on the available datasets and our self-built data. To perform the proposed method for outdoor face recognition system, we have improved the system accuracy from 90.53% to 98.14%. The results show that the proposed method improves the quality of the image with other traditional methods.

The number of times students attend lectures has been identified as one of many success factors in the learning process in many studies. We proposed a framework of the student attendance system by using face recognition as authentication. Triplet loss embedding in FaceNet is suitable for face recognition systems because the architecture has high accuracy, quite lightweight, and easy to implement in the real-time face recognition system. In our research, triplet loss embedding shows good performance in terms of the ability to recognize faces. It can also be used for real-time face recognition for the authentication process in the attendance recording system that uses RFID. In our study, the performance for face recognition using k-NN and SVM classification methods achieved results of 96.2 +/- 0.1% and 95.2 +/- 0.1% accordingly. Attendance recording systems using face recognition as an authentication process will increase student attendance in lectures. The system should be difficult to be faked; the system will validate the user or student using RFID cards using facial biometric marks. Finally, students will always be present in lectures, which in turn will improve the quality of the existing education process. The outcome can be changed in the future by using a high-resolution camera. A face recognition system with facial expression recognition can be added to improve the authentication process. For better results, users are required to perform an expression instructed by face recognition using a database and the YOLO process.

Attendance marking in a classroom is one of the methods used to track the student’s presence in the lecture. The conventional method that is being enforced has shown to be vulnerable, inaccurate and time-consuming especially in a large classroom. It is difficult to identify absentees and proxy attendees based on the conventional attendance marking method. In order to overcome the challenges faced in the conventional method, a web-based mobile attendance system with facial recognition feature is proposed. It incorporated the existing mobile devices with a camera and the face recognition system to allow the attendance system to be used in classrooms automatically and efficiently with minor implementation requirements. The system prototype received positive responses from the volunteers who tested the system to replace the conventional attendance marking.

The main challenge that facial recognition introduces is the difficulty of uneven lighting or dark tendencies. The image is poorly lit, which makes it difficult for the system to perform facial recognition. This study aims to normalize the lighting in the image using the Multiscale Retinex method. This method is applied to a face recognition system based on Principal Component Analysis to determine whether this method effectively improves images with uneven lighting. The results showed that the Multiscale Retinex approach to face recognition's correctness was better, from 40% to 76%. Multiscale Retinex has the advantage of dark facial image types because it produces a brighter image output.

Face is the crucial part of the human body that uniquely identifies a person. Using the face characteristics as biometric, the face recognition system can be implemented. The most demanding task in any organization is attendance marking. In traditional attendance system, the students are called out by the teachers and their presence or absence is marked accordingly. However, these traditional techniques are time consuming and tedious. In this project, the Open CV based face recognition approach has been proposed. This model integrates a camera that captures an input image, an algorithm for detecting face from an input image, encoding and identifying the face, marking the attendance in a spreadsheet and converting it into PDF file. The training database is created by training the system with the faces of the authorized students. The cropped images are then stored as a database with respective labels. The features are extracted using LBPH algorithm.
