Fuzzy probability based person recognition in smart environments

Abstract

Biometric features are used to verify the people identity in the living places like smart apartments. To increase the chance of classification and recognition rate, the recognizing procedure contains various steps such as detection of silhouette from the gait profile, silhouette segmentation, reading features from the silhouette, classification of features and finally recognition of person using its probability value. Person recognition accuracy will be oscillated and declined due to blockage, radiance and posture variance problems. In the proposed work, the gait profile will be formed by capturing the gait of a targeted person in stipulated time to reach the destination. From the profile the silhouettes are detected using frame difference and segmented from the background using immediate thresholding and features are extracted from the silhouette using gray-level covariance matrix and optimized feature set is formed using PSO. These optimized features are fused, trained and classified using nearest neighbor support vectors. The fuzzy probability method is used for recognizing the person based on the probability value of the authentic and imposter scores. The relationship between the CMS, TPR, TNR and F-rate are calculated for 1 : 1 matcher from the gallery set. The performance of the classifiers are found to be perfect by plotting the DET graph and ROC curve. The proposed fuzzy probability theory is mingled with GLCMPSO and NSFV method for human recognition purpose. The performance of the proposed is proved to be acceptable for recognition with the optimal parameters (Entropy, SSIM, PSNR, CQM) calculation From the work, it is clear that, the rank probability is proportional to the match score value of the silhouette stored in the gallery.
