Abstract
Due to the lack of prior knowledge of face images, large illumination changes, and complex backgrounds, the accuracy of face recognition is low. To address this issue, we propose a face detection and recognition algorithm based on multi-task convolutional neural network (MTCNN). In our paper, MTCNN mainly uses three cascaded networks, and adopts the idea of candidate box plus classifier to perform fast and efficient face recognition. The model is trained on a database of 50 faces we have collected, and Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR), Structural Similarity Index Measurement (SSIM), and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve are used to analyse MTCNN, Region-CNN (R-CNN) and Faster R-CNN. The average PSNR of this technique is 1.24 dB higher than that of R-CNN and 0.94 dB higher than that of Faster R-CNN. The average SSIM value of MTCNN is 10.3% higher than R-CNN and 8.7% higher than Faster R-CNN. The Area Under Curve (AUC) of MTCNN is 97.56%, the AUC of R-CNN is 91.24%, and the AUC of Faster R-CNN is 92.01%. MTCNN has the best comprehensive performance in face recognition. For the face images with defective features, MTCNN still has the best effect. This algorithm can effectively improve face recognition to a certain extent. The accuracy rate and the reduction of the false detection rate of face detection can not only be better used in key places, ensure the safety of property and security of the people, improve safety, but also better reduce the waste of human resources and improve efficiency.
