Face Recognition is a field of identifying the person from the facial features and has wide application range in security, human computer interactions, finance etc. In recent years, many researchers have developed different algorithms to identify the Faces from various illumination variations and Pose variation, but these two problems remain unsolved in Face Recognition (FR) field. The Local Binary Pattern (LBP) has already proved its robustness in illumination variation. This paper proposes a four-patch Local Binary Pattern based FR utilizing Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) for identifying the Facial images from various illumination conditions and Pose variation.

Complex illumination condition is one of the most critical challenging problems for practical face recognition. However, numerous studies have had no effective solutions reported for full illumination variation of face images in the facial recognition research field. In order to effectively solve full illumination variation problem, we propose a novel approach for illumination normalization for facial images based on the enhanced contrast method of histogram equalization (HE) and fusion of illumination estimations (FOIE). Then, feature extraction is applied with consideration of both Gabor wavelet and principal component analysis methods to process illumination normalization. Next, a support vector machine classifier (SVM) is used for face classification. Experimental results show that superior performance can be obtained in the developed approach by comparisons with some state-of-the-arts.

Power system failures or outages due to short-circuits or “faults” can result in long service interruptions leading to significant socio-economic consequences. It is critical for electrical utilities to quickly ascertain fault characteristics, including location, type, and duration, to reduce the service time of an outage. Existing fault detection mechanisms (relays and digital fault recorders) are slow to communicate the fault characteristics upstream to the substations and control centers for action to be taken quickly. Fortunately, due to availability of high-resolution phasor measurement units (PMUs), more event-driven solutions can be captured in real time. In this paper, we propose a data-driven approach for determining fault characteristics using samples of fault trajectories. A random forest regressor (RFR)-based model is used to detect real-time fault location and its duration simultaneously. This model is based on combining multiple uncorrelated trees with state-of-the-art boosting and aggregating techniques in order to obtain robust generalizations and greater accuracy without overfitting or underfitting. Four cases were studied to evaluate the performance of RFR: 1. Detecting fault location (case 1), 2. Predicting fault duration (case 2), 3. Handling missing data (case 3), and 4. Identifying fault location and length in a real-time streaming environment (case 4). A comparative analysis was conducted between the RFR algorithm and state-of-the-art models, including deep neural network, Hoeffding tree, neural network, support vector machine, decision tree, naive Bayesian, and K-nearest neighborhood. Experiments revealed that RFR consistently outperformed the other models in detection accuracy, prediction error, and processing time.

In order to improve the low accuracy of the face recognition methods in the case of e-health, this paper proposed a novel face recognition approach, which is based on convolutional neural network (CNN). In detail, through resolving the convolutional kernel, rectified linear unit (ReLU) activation function, dropout, and batch normalization, this novel approach reduces the number of parameters of the CNN model, improves the non-linearity of the CNN model, and alleviates overfitting of the CNN model. In these ways, the accuracy of face recognition is increased. In the experiments, the proposed approach is compared with principal component analysis (PCA) and support vector machine (SVM) on ORL, Cohn-Kanade, and extended Yale-B face recognition data set, and it proves that this approach is promising.

Face recognition and authentication are two significant and dynamic research issues in computer vision applications. There are many factors that should be accounted for face recognition; among them pose variation is a major challenge which severely influence in the performance of face recognition. In order to improve the performance, several research methods have been developed to perform the face recognition process with pose invariant conditions in constrained and unconstrained environments. In this paper, the authors analyzed the performance of a popular texture descriptors viz., Local Binary Pattern, Local Derivative Pattern and Histograms of Oriented Gradients for pose invariant problem. State of the art preprocessing techniques such as Discrete Cosine Transform, Difference of Gaussian, Multi Scale Retinex and Gradient face have also been applied before feature extraction. In the recognition phase K- nearest neighbor classifier is used to accomplish the classification task. To evaluate the efficiency of pose invariant face recognition algorithm three publicly available databases viz. UMIST, ORL and LFW datasets have been used. The above said databases have very wide pose variations and it is proved that the state of the art method is efficient only in constrained situations.

The interest in face recognition studies has grown rapidly in the last decade. One of the most important problems in face recognition is the identification of ethnics of people. In this study, a new deep learning convolutional neural network is designed to create a new model that can recognize the ethnics of people through their facial features. The new dataset for ethnics of people consists of 3141 images collected from three different nationalities. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first image dataset collected for the ethnics of people and that dataset will be available for the research community. The new model was compared with two state-of-the-art models, VGG and Inception V3, and the validation accuracy was calculated for each convolutional neural network. The generated models have been tested through several images of people, and the results show that the best performance was achieved by our model with a verification accuracy of 96.9%.

The paper presents a novel hybrid network for large-scale action recognition from multiple modalities. The network is built upon the proposed weighted dynamic images. It effectively leverages the strengths of the emerging Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) based approaches to specifically address the challenges that occur in large-scale action recognition and are not fully dealt with by the state-of-the-art methods. Specifically, the proposed hybrid network consists of a CNN based component and an RNN based component. Features extracted by the two components are fused through canonical correlation analysis and then fed to a linear Support Vector Machine (SVM) for classification. The proposed network achieved state-of-the-art results on the ChaLearn LAP IsoGD, NTU RGB+D and Multi-modal & Multi-view & Interactive ( M 2 I ) datasets and outperformed existing methods by a large margin (over 10 percentage points in some cases).

This paper introduces a novel methodology that combines the multi-resolution feature of the Gabor wavelet transformation (GWT) with the local interactions of the facial structures expressed through the Pseudo Hidden Markov Model (PHMM). Unlike the traditional zigzag scanning method for feature extraction a continuous scanning method from top-left corner to right then top-down and right to left and so on until right-bottom of the image i.e., a spiral scanning technique has been proposed for better feature selection. Unlike traditional HMMs, the proposed PHMM does not perform the state conditional independence of the visible observation sequence assumption. This is achieved via the concept of local structures introduced by the PHMM used to extract facial bands and automatically select the most informative features of a face image. Thus, the long-range dependency problem inherent to traditional HMMs has been drastically reduced. Again with the use of most informative pixels rather than the whole image makes the proposed method reasonably faster for face recognition. This method has been successfully tested on frontal face images from the ORL, FRAV2D, and FERET face databases where the images vary in pose, illumination, expression, and scale. The FERET data set contains 2200 frontal face images of 200 subjects, while the FRAV2D data set consists of 1100 images of 100 subjects and the full ORL database is considered. The results reported in this application are far better than the recent and most referred systems.
