Neuro-fuzzy fusion in a multimodal face recognition using PCA, ICA and SIFT

Abstract

Face recognition has been widely used in much real-time application for biometric authentication. This paper is discussed with the implementation of multimodal face recognition with neuro-fuzzy fusion. We used principal component analysis, independent component analysis and scale invariant feature transform for feature extraction and result are fused with neuro fuzzy inference system to obtain the recognition ID. PCA is the statistical method for face recognition under the enormous subject of 'factor analysis'. This unsupervised method for a set of reference images represents faces as linear combination. The generalised expression independent component analysis can treat pixels as observations and images at random variables or vice versa. Another method considered is scale invariant feature transform that scales histogram orientation for dominant feature determination invariant to illumination, rotation and is robust against considerable amount of noise. This research studies the performance evaluation of recognition method constructed in union with neuro fuzzy inference system employing PCA, ICA and SIFT.
