An efficient fuzzy deep learning approach to recognize 2D faces using FADF and ResNet-164 architecture

Abstract

Deep learning using fuzzy is highly modular and more accurate. Adaptive Fuzzy Anisotropy diffusion filter (FADF) is used to remove noise from the image while preserving edges, lines and improve smoothing effects. By detecting edge and noise information through pre-edge detection using fuzzy contrast enhancement, post-edge detection using fuzzy morphological gradient filter and noise detection technique. Convolution Neural Network (CNN) ResNet-164 architecture is used for automatic feature extraction. The resultant feature vectors are classified using ANFIS deep learning. Top-1 error rate is reduced from 21.43% to 18.8%. Top-5 error rate is reduced to 2.68%. The proposed work results in high accuracy rate with low computation cost. The recognition rate of 99.18% and accuracy of 98.24% is achieved on standard dataset. Compared to the existing techniques the proposed work outperforms in all aspects. Experimental results provide better result than the existing techniques on FACES 94, Feret, Yale-B, CMU-PIE, JAFFE dataset and other state-of-art dataset.
