Automatic Face Recognition of Target Images Based on Deep Learning Algorithms

The current research results of face recognition have poor recognition accuracy, time-consuming and high information loss rate. A method of automatic face recognition based on depth learning algorithm is proposed. The three primary RGB images are transformed into color saturated HSV images, and the dynamic range is extended by changing the non-linearity according to the conversion results. Based on the extended situation, the membership function is used to map the target image to the blurred plane, and the contrast enhancement of the image is completed. The enhanced image is substituted into the image segmentation, and the image eigenvalues are extracted preliminarily. The seed of image segmentation is generated by the eigenvalues. The growing seed regions are merged by the color distance and the texture distance to achieve the target image segmentation. Based on image segmentation, LBP operator is used to extract the local texture features of face twice, and then a deep convolution network model is constructed. The shared weights of convolution network model and pooling down-sampling technique are used to reduce the complexity of the model. The top layer of the model forms a feature classification surface of face image, fuses the constraint conditions, and obtains the trained face. The deep convolution network model is used to extract features from face images and complete face recognition. The experimental results show that the method has good accuracy, high efficiency and low information loss rate.

Face Duplication Identifier Using Artificial Nerves

The facial recognition system develops a basic identity verification system based on the natural features of human faces. The study included duplicate passport identification, which checks each person's facial accuracy through a sample of facial data. The data used in this study were 180 face samples at the training stage and 30 face samples at the testing stage. The face sample taken is a forward-facing face that is not obstructed by an object. Face image recognition in this study combines GLCM method, color moment, shape extraction and backpropagation algorithm. The test process recognition rate is 78.83%.

Comparison of KNN and SVM Algorithms in Facial Image Recognition Using Haar Wavelet Feature Extraction

To process all the pixels in the face image, feature extraction can be performed using the Haar Wavelet method so that it processes identifiers with lower dimensions. However, a classification algorithm must separate the distance between classes with minimal data to classify low-dimensional facial images. KNN and SVM algorithms are classifiers that can be used for facial image recognition. When classifying images, SVM creates a hyperplane, divides the input space between classes and classifies based on which side of the hyperplane the unclassified object is placed when it is placed in the input space. KNN uses a voting system to determine which class an unclassified object belongs to, taking into account the nearest neighbor class in the decision space. When classifying, KNN will generally classify accurately, resulting in some minor misclassifications that plagued the final classified image. This study aims to compare the two algorithms on image identifiers with low dimensions resulting from haar wavelet extraction. The research results obtained are facial image classification using the haar wavelet extraction method using the SVM algorithm to obtain an accuracy of 98.8%. Whereas when using the KNN algorithm, the accuracy obtained is 96.6%. The results of this study show that the SVM algorithm produces better accuracy in facial image recognition using haar wavelet feature extraction compared to the KNN algorithm. The SVM algorithm can recognize facial images even though it uses image training data with various face poses and sizes, resulting in higher accuracy.

Laser-Visible Face Image Translation and Recognition Based on CycleGAN and Spectral Normalization.

The range-gated laser imaging instrument can capture face images in a dark environment, which provides a new idea for long-distance face recognition at night. However, the laser image has low contrast, low SNR and no color information, which affects observation and recognition. Therefore, it becomes important to convert laser images into visible images and then identify them. For image translation, we propose a laser-visible face image translation model combined with spectral normalization (SN-CycleGAN). We add spectral normalization layers to the discriminator to solve the problem of low image translation quality caused by the difficulty of training the generative adversarial network. The content reconstruction loss function based on the Y channel is added to reduce the error mapping. The face generated by the improved model on the self-built laser-visible face image dataset has better visual quality, which reduces the error mapping and basically retains the structural features of the target compared with other models. The FID value of evaluation index is 36.845, which is 16.902, 13.781, 10.056, 57.722, 62.598 and 0.761 lower than the CycleGAN, Pix2Pix, UNIT, UGATIT, StarGAN and DCLGAN models, respectively. For the face recognition of translated images, we propose a laser-visible face recognition model based on feature retention. The shallow feature maps with identity information are directly connected to the decoder to solve the problem of identity information loss in network transmission. The domain loss function based on triplet loss is added to constrain the style between domains. We use pre-trained FaceNet to recognize generated visible face images and obtain the recognition accuracy of Rank-1. The recognition accuracy of the images generated by the improved model reaches 76.9%, which is greatly improved compared with the above models and 19.2% higher than that of laser face recognition.

Pixel-Level Face Image Quality Assessment for Explainable Face Recognition

In this work, we introduce the concept of pixel-level face image quality that determines the utility of single pixels in a face image for recognition. We propose a training-free approach to assess the pixel-level qualities of a face image given an arbitrary face recognition network. To achieve this, a model-specific quality value of the input image is estimated and used to build a sample-specific quality regression model. Based on this model, quality-based gradients are back-propagated and converted into pixel-level quality estimates. In the experiments, we qualitatively and quantitatively investigated the meaningfulness of our proposed pixel-level qualities based on real and artificial disturbances and by comparing the explanation maps on faces incompliant with the ICAO standards. In all scenarios, the results demonstrate that the proposed solution produces meaningful pixel-level qualities enhancing the interpretability of the face image and its quality. The code is publicly available.

Security Technologies Using Facial Recognition

Abstract
 
 Faces are one of the simplest methods to determine a person's identity. Face recognition is a unique identifying method that uses an individual's traits to determine the identity of that individual. The proposed recognition process is divided into two stages: face recognition and object recognition. Unless the item is very close, this procedure is very rapid for humans. The recognition of human faces is introduced next. The stage is then reproduced and used as a model for facial image recognition (face recognition). That's one of the professionally created and well-researched biometrics procedures. The eigenface approach and the Fisher face method are two common face recognition pattern algorithms that have been developed. Recognition of facial images The Eigenface approach is based on the reduction of face dimensional space for facial traits using Principal Component Analysis (PCA). The major goal of applying PCA on face recognition was to generate Eigen faces (face space) by identifying the eigenvector corresponding to the face image's biggest eigenvalue. Image processing and security systems are areas of interest in this research face recognition integrated into a security system.

Classroom Attendance using Face Detection and Facial Organs

The face is one of the easiest ways to distinguish the individual identity of each other. Face recognition is a personal identification system that uses personal characteristics of a person to identify the person's identity. Human face recognition procedure basically consists of two phases, namely face detection, where this process takes place very rapidly in humans, except under conditions where the object is located at a short distance away, the next is the introduction, which recognize a face as individuals. Stage is then replicated and developed as a model for facial image recognition (face recognition) is one of the much-studied biometrics technology and developed by experts. There are two kinds of methods that are currently popular in developed face recognition pattern namely, Eigenface method and Fisherface method. Facial image recognition Eigenface method is based on the reduction of face-dimensional space using Principal Component Analysis (PCA) for facial features. The main purpose of the use of PCA on face recognition using Eigen faces was formed (face space) by finding the eigenvector corresponding to the largest Eigenvalue of the face image. The area of this project face detection system with face recognition is Image processing. The software requirements for this project is matlab software.

Noise-related face image recognition based on double dictionary transform learning

The existing single dictionary learning algorithms are applied to face recognition and achieve satisfactory results. However, their performance is poor when dealing with noisy images and images involving complex variations such as large pose variations and occlusions. In this paper, a novel noise-related face image recognition method based on double dictionary transform learning (DDTL) is proposed. On the one hand, DDTL introduces the L2,p-norm to remove the redundant information in the dictionary and the noise involved in the training images, which makes the learned dictionary more discriminative. On the other hand, DDTL introduces the analysis dictionary and performs double dictionary transform learning with the synthetic dictionary. This can better reveal the relationship between the samples and the representation coefficients, and improve the accuracy of the learned dictionary and representation coefficients. Besides, DDTL introduces a linear regression term in the model learning process, which can distinguish and expand the differences between classes. Experimental results on six databases show that DDTL is superior to existing methods.

Double-inputs Illumination Pattern Recognizing Model with Automatic Shadow Detection Network in a Single Face Image

Illumination pattern recognition of face image has always been a hot research topic in the field of human-computer interaction, and has been widely used in lighting recovery, virtual scene construction and other multimedia fields. Most of the traditional methods achieve this task by analyzing the illumination components from the image texture and structure information, which is often considered to be indirect, complex and time-consuming. This paper introduces a Double-inputs Illumination Pattern Recognizing Model (DIPRM) with Automatic Shadow Detection Network (ASDN) based on Convolution Neural Networks (CNNs). In the proposed coherent system framework, we first annotate the shadow regions of face images with uneven illumination to obtain the face shadow detection dataset. Second, an ASDN which has the encoder-decoder structure is designed. The main architecture of the ASDN is based on the nested U-Net, and for this nesting, the attention mechanism is applied to fuse the output of each sublayer. Third, a double-inputs Facial Illumination Pattern Recognizing Network (FIPRN) following the ASDN is organized, which consists of AlexNet and the attention module. As the double-inputs, the binary image after the shadow segmentation from the ASDN and the original image are input into the FIPRN to make the whole network converge to a good collaboration state eventually. For shadow detection task, the ASDN was evaluated in comparisons with U-Net and UNet++. Experimental results demonstrated that the ASDN achieved an average IoU and Dice gains of 1.9 and 1.2 points over the base-line model with best results. Moreover, the FIPRN was tested in comparison with some baseline models in illumination pattern recognizing task, where the results demonstrated that it achieved an accuracy rate gain of 1.0 points than the AlexNet with a signal-input.

Triple-BigGAN: Semi-supervised generative adversarial networks for image synthesis and classification on sexual facial expression recognition

Automatic recognition of facial images showing erotic expressions can help to understand our social interaction and to detect non-appropriate images even when there is no nakedness present in them. This paper contemplates, for the first time, to exploit facial cues applied to automatic Sexual Facial Expression Recognition (SFER). With this goal, we introduce a new dataset named Sexual Expression and Activity Faces (SEA-Faces-30k) for SFER, which contains 30k manually labeled images under three categories: erotic, suggestive-erotic, and non-erotic. Deep Convolutional Neural Networks require large-scale annotated image datasets with diversity and variations to be properly trained. Unfortunately, gathering such a massive amount of data is not feasible in this area. Therefore, we present a new semi-supervised GAN framework named Triple-BigGAN, which learns a generative model and a classifier simultaneously. It learns both tasks in an end-to-end fashion while using unlabeled or partially labeled data. The Triple-BigGAN framework shows promising classification performance for the SFER task (i.e., 93.59%) and other five benchmark datasets, i.e., FER-2013, CIFAR-10, Expression in-the-Wild (ExpW), Modified National Institute of Standards and Technology database (MNIST), and Street View House Numbers (SVHN). Next, we evaluated the quality of samples generated by Triple-BigGAN with a resolution of 256×256 pixels using Inception Score (IS) and Frechet Inception Distance (FID). Our approach obtained the best FID (i.e., 19.94%) and IS (i.e., 97.98%) scores on the SEA-Faces-30k dataset. Further, we empirically demonstrated that synthetic erotic face images generated by Triple-BigGAN could also help in improving the classification performance of deep supervised networks.

Design of Boosted Cascade and RTLBP Features based Face Recognition Module Using ML in OpenCV

Over the past ten years, face recognition in images has become more and more important. Since facial recognition is a natural talent for humans, it could be challenging to train a computer to recognize faces. The detecting difficulty comprises three stages. Without the requirement for picture difference or skin color identification, the detector operates in real-time at fifteen frames per second. Proposed and developed is a face recognition system based on Real Time Local Binary Pattern (RTLBP) and Boosted Cascade of Simple Features (BCSF). Preprocessing, face identification and recognition, and annotation are the three stages of the system. Segmentation, filtering, thresholding, and improving image quality are all part of preprocessing. The face, which is crucial for identification, is identified using the BCSF approach. Every face in the database has a correlation and RTLBP calculation. Correlation and RTLBP analysis between the captured face and the database face is then used to conduct recognition. One statistical technique that falls within the large category of factor analysis is the Boosted Cascade of Simple Features. By reducing the massive quantity of data stored to the extent of the feature space needed to represent the data efficiently, the BCSF seeks to achieve this goal. The RTLBP is designed to recognize faces by using a wide 1-D pixel vector consisting of a 2-D face picture in compact main parts of the space function. This is referred to as self-space projection. The identity of the vectors in the covariance matrix, which is centred on a set of fingerprint images, helps determine the proper space. Using OpenCV, Open Computer Vision (OpenCV), Python, Eigen-face, Fisher Face, LBPH, and Haar Cascade programming, an algorithm for a camera-based, real-time face recognition system is developed in this project. The name of the detected individual appears in the top left corner of a highlighted rectangle that annotates the face. The process of recognition takes 10.18 seconds, with a 99.93% success rate.

Comparison of the accuracy of different handheld-type scanners in three-dimensional facial image recognition.

Handheld-type scanners are widely used in clinical practice. This study examined the accuracy of handheld-type scanners using plaster statues to assess their performance in facial recognition. Twelve 4-mm zirconia balls as measuring points were attached to the facial portions of three types of plaster statue. Six digital facial images of each plaster statue were obtained using one of the following five handheld-type scanners: Artec Eva, Artec Spider, Bellus 3D FaceApp, SNAP, and Vectra H1. Four-millimeter spherical objects were manually placed at the measurement points on the scanned data generated using computer-aided design software and coordinate positions were measured using a contact-type high-resolution three-dimensional measurement device. Consequently, the discrepancy between the distance measured using the contact-type device and that measured using the handheld-type scanner was calculated. The scanning time, processing time, and deviation of the distance between the measuring points were analyzed using two-way analysis of variance and t-test with Bonferroni correction. The scanning and processing times ranged from 15.2 to 42.2 s and 20.7 to 234.2 s, respectively. Overall, 97% of all measured distances by Spider were within ±1.00% deviation; 79%, Vectra; 73%, Eva; 70%, Bellus; and 42%, SNAP. The performance of handheld-type scanners using plaster statues varied among the different scanners. The scanning time of Eva and the processing time of Bellus were significantly shorter than those of other scanners. Furthermore, Spider exhibited the best accuracy, followed by Eva, Vectra, Bellus, and SNAP.

Movie Reviews Classification through Facial Image Recognition and Emotion Detection Using Machine Learning Methods

The critical component of HCI is face recognition technology. Emotional computing heavily relies on the identification of facial emotions. Applications for emotion-driven face animation and dynamic assessment are numerous (FER). Universities have started to support real-world face expression recognition research as a result. Short video clips are continually uploaded and shared online, building up a library of videos on various topics. The enormous amount of movie data appeals to system engineers and researchers of autonomous emotion mining and sentiment analysis. The main idea is that categorizing things may be done by looking at how individuals feel about specific issues. People might choose to have a basic or complex facial appearance. People worldwide continually express their feelings through their faces, whether they are happy, sad, or uncertain. An online user can visually express themselves through a video’s editing, music, and subtitles. Additionally, before the video data can be used, noise in the data must frequently be eliminated. Automatically figuring out how someone feels in a video is a challenging task that will only get harder over time. Therefore, this paper aims to show how facial recognition video analysis can be used to show how sentiment analysis can help with business growth and essential decision-making. To determine how people are affected by reviewers’ writing, we use a technique for deciding emotions in this analysis. The feelings in movies are assessed using machine learning algorithms to categorize them. A lightweight machine learning algorithm is proposed to help in Aspect-oriented emotion classification for movie reviews. Moreover, to analyze real and published datasets, experimental results are compared with different Machine Learning algorithms, i.e., Naive Bayes, Support Vector Machine, Random Forest, and CNN. The proposed approach obtained 84.72 accuracy and 79.24 sensitivity. Furthermore, the method has a specificity of 90.64 and a precision of 90.2. Thus, the proposed method significantly increases the accuracy and sensitivity of the emotion detection system from facial feature recognition. Our proposed algorithm has shown contribution to detect datasets of different emotions with symmetric characteristics and symmetrically-designed facial image recognition tasks.

An Improved Face-Emotion Recognition to Automatically Generate Human Expression With Emoticons

Any human face image expression naturally identifies expressions of happy, sad etc.; sometimes human facial image expression recognition is complex, and it is a combination of two emotions. The existing literature provides face emotion classification and image recognition, and the study on deep learning using convolutional neural networks (CNN), provides face emotion recognition most useful for healthcare and with the most complex of the existing algorithms. This paper improves the human face emotion recognition and provides feelings of interest for others to generate emoticons on their smartphone. Face emotion recognition plays a major role by using convolutional neural networks in the area of deep learning and artificial intelligence for healthcare services. Automatic facial emotion recognition consists of two methods, such as face detection with Ada boost classifier algorithm and emotional classification, which consists of feature extraction by using deep learning methods such as CNN to identify the seven emotions to generate emoticons.

Face Recognition for Examinee Verification

In the modern world, facial recognition is playing a vital role in the field of biometric technologies. The reason being simple, it’s a very efficient and developed method compared to the other methods. Its being so precise, errorless and effective gives it an edge over other technologies. There are lot of fields where this fast growing technology is yet to show its effectiveness, one of which is examinations, the identification of the students during examinations. Different kinds of biometric technologies are used in the examination sector in order to identify the students appearing for the exams. Biometric technologies use physical features to identify the person appearing in the exam but many of these traditional methods create room for errors and cheating which can be improved by execution of facial technology.In this research, the approach of Eigenface and fisherface has been used. These techniques are recent and have apparently promising performances, and are representing new trends in this field. Based on previous research that has been done by other researchers about the Eigen face and Fisher face algorithms, where facial image recognition uses Eigenface with different conditions of differentiation from expression, with success rates up to 75%. Ada-boost face recognition, Eigen face PCA and MySQL produce 80% of various different conditions. Face recognition with 93% success with Fisher face by 73 face trials of different expressions and different positions. From previous research, the author wanted to know which algorithm has speed in terms of time, distance and accuracy of photosensitivity in the facial recognition process. By tests of the two algorithms, it produces success percentages and accuracy charts. The Fisherface algorithm is faster than the Eigenface algorithm has an accuracy of 96% and the Fisherface algorithm has an accuracy of 97%.

Objects and Action Detection of Human Faces through Thermal Images Using ANU-Net.

Thermal cameras, as opposed to RBG cameras, work effectively in extremely low illumination situations and can record data outside of the human visual spectrum. For surveillance and security applications, thermal images have several benefits. However, due to the little visual information in thermal images and intrinsic similarity of facial heat maps, completing face identification tasks in the thermal realm is particularly difficult. It can be difficult to attempt identification across modalities, such as when trying to identify a face in thermal images using the ground truth database for the matching visible light domain or vice versa. We proposed a method for detecting objects and actions on thermal human face images, based on the classification of five different features (hat, glasses, rotation, normal, and hat with glasses) in this paper. This model is presented in five steps. To improve the results of feature extraction during the pre-processing step, initially, we resize the images and then convert them to grayscale level using a median filter. In addition, features are extracted from pre-processed images using principle component analysis (PCA). Furthermore, the horse herd optimization algorithm (HOA) is employed for feature selection. Then, to detect the human face in thermal images, the LeNet-5 method is used. It is utilized to detect objects and actions in face areas. Finally, we classify the objects and actions on faces using the ANU-Net approach with the Monarch butterfly optimization (MBO) algorithm to achieve higher classification accuracy. According to experiments using the Terravic Facial Infrared Database, the proposed method outperforms "state-of-the-art" methods for face recognition in thermal images. Additionally, the results for several facial recognition tasks demonstrate good precision.
