Person Recognition Using Surf Features and Vola-Jones Algorithm

Abstract

Face recognition is one of the prominent biometric software applications, which can identify specific person in a digital image by analysing few parameters and comparing them. These type of recognitions are commonly used in security systems but are used increasingly in variety of other applications. Few non static conditions like facial hair can make recognition system a serious problem. The three stages of face recognition system are facing detection, feature extraction and classification. For enhancing the face recognition from video successions against dissimilar occlusion invariant and posture is proposed by using a novel approach. This face identification system made use of Viola and Jones algorithm for face detection and SURF (Speed Up Robust Feature) for feature extraction. Classifications of these face images are done using RBF (Radial Basis Function kernel) SVM (Support Vector Machine) classifier.
