Human Face Recognition Using Eigenface, SURF Method

Abstract

AbstractOne such complicated and exciting problem in computer vision and pattern recognition is identification using face biometrics. One such application of biometrics, used in video inspection, biometric authentication, surveillance, and so on, is facial recognition. Many techniques for detecting facial biometrics have been studied in the past three years. However, considerations such as shifting lighting, landscape, the nose being farther from the camera, the background being farther from the camera creating blurring, and noise present renders the previous approaches bad. To solve these problems, numerous works with sufficient clarification on this research subject have been introduced in this paper. This paper analyzes the multiple methods researchers use in their numerous researches to solve different types of problems faced during facial recognition. A new technique is implemented to investigate the feature space to the abstract component subset. Principle component analysis (PCA) is used to analyze the features and uses speed up robust features (SURF) technique, eigenfaces, identification, and matching is done, respectively. Thus, we get improved accuracy and almost similar recognition rate from the acquired research results based on the facial image dataset, which has been taken from the ORL database.KeywordsHuman face detectionFace recognitionFacial detectionEigenfaceMethodsSURF
