An efficient face recognition system based on hybrid optimized KELM

Face recognition (FR) from video offers a challenging issue in the area of image exploration along with computer visualization, furthermore, as such recognized heaps of deem over the previous years on account of its numerous applications in the scope of domains. The chief challenges in the video centered FR are the restraint of the camera hardware, the random poses captured by means of the camera as the subject is noncooperative, and changes in the resolutions owing to disparate lighting conditions, noise along with blurriness. Numerous FR algorithms were generated in the previous decennium, although these approaches are much better, the image’s accuracy is less only. To trounce such difficulties, an efficient FR system centered on hybrid optimized Kernel ELM is proposed. The proposed work encompasses five phases, explicitly (i) preprocessing, (ii) Face detection, (iii) Feature Extraction, (iv) Feature Reduction, and (v) Classification. In the preliminary phase, the data-base video clips are converted in to the frames in which pre-processing are performed utilizing a Modified wiener filter to eliminate the noise. The succeeding phase is employed for detecting the pre-processed image via the viola–jones (V-J). With this technique, the face is identified. After that, the features are extorted. The extracted ones then will be provided as the input to the Modified PCA approach. Then, perform classification operation using hybrid (PSO-GA) optimized Kernel ELM approach. The similar process is replicated for query images (QI). At last, the recognized image is found. Experimental results contrasted with the previous ANFIS classifier and existing methods concerning precision, accuracy, recall, F-measure, sensitivity along with specificity. The proposed FR system indicates better accuracy when compared with the prevailing methods.

An application of viola jones method for face recognition for absence process efficiency

Absence was a list of documents that the company used to record the attendance time of each employee. The most common problem in a fingerprint machine is the identification of a slow sensor or a sensor not recognizing a finger. The employees late to work because they get difficulties at fingerprint system, they need about 3 – 5 minutes to absence when the condition of finger is wet or not fit. To overcome this problem, this research tried to utilize facial recognition for attendance process. The method used for facial recognition was Viola Jones.

After implement facial recognition the process of absence is more efficient, just take less 1 minute to absence.

The Utilization of Feature based Viola-Jones Method for Face Detection in Invariant Rotation

Faces in an image consists of complex structures in object detection. The components of a face, which includes the eyes, nose and mouth of a person differs from that of ordinary objects, thus making face detecting a complex process. Some of the challenges encounter posed in face detection of unconstrained images includes background variation, pose variation, facial expression, occlusion and noise. Current research of Viola-Jones (V-J) face detection is limited to only 45 degrees in-plane rotation. This paper proposes only one technique for the V-J detection face in unconstrained images, which V-J face detection with invariant rotation. The technique begins by rotating the given image file with each step 30 degrees until 360 degrees. Each step of adding 30 degrees from origin, V-J face detection is applied, which covers more angles of a rotated face in unconstrained images. Robust detection in rotation invariant used in the above techniques will aid in the detecting of rotated faces in images. The images that have been utilized for testing and evaluation in this paper are from CMU dataset with 12 rotations on each image. Therefore, there are 12 test patterns generated. These images have been measured through the correct detection rate, true positive and false positive. This paper shows that the proposed V-J face detection technique in unconstrained images have the ability to detect rotated faces with high accuracy in correct detection rate. To summarize, V-J face detection in unconstrained images with proposed variation of rotation is the method utilized in this paper. This proposed enhancement improves the current V-J face detection method and further increase the accuracy of face detection in unconstrained images.

An Enhanced Viola-Jones Vehicle Detection Method From Unmanned Aerial Vehicles Imagery

This research develops an advanced vehicle detection method, which improves the original Viola-Jones (V-J) object detection scheme for better vehicle detections from low-altitude unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) imagery. The original V-J method is sensitive to objects’ in-plane rotation, and therefore has difficulties in detecting vehicles with unknown orientations in UAV images. To address this issue, this research proposes a road orientation adjustment method, which rotates each UAV image once so that the roads and on-road vehicles on rotated images will be aligned with the horizontal direction and the V-J vehicle detector. Then, the original V-J can be directly applied to achieve better efficiency and accuracy. The enhanced V-J method is further applied for vehicle tracking. Testing results show that both vehicle detection and tracking methods are competitive compared with other existing methods. Future research will focus on expanding the current methods to detect other transport modes, such as buses, trucks, motorcycles, bicycles, and pedestrians.

A Hybrid Vehicle Detection Method Based on Viola-Jones and HOG + SVM from UAV Images.

A new hybrid vehicle detection scheme which integrates the Viola-Jones (V-J) and linear SVM classifier with HOG feature (HOG + SVM) methods is proposed for vehicle detection from low-altitude unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) images. As both V-J and HOG + SVM are sensitive to on-road vehicles’ in-plane rotation, the proposed scheme first adopts a roadway orientation adjustment method, which rotates each UAV image to align the roads with the horizontal direction so the original V-J or HOG + SVM method can be directly applied to achieve fast detection and high accuracy. To address the issue of descending detection speed for V-J and HOG + SVM, the proposed scheme further develops an adaptive switching strategy which sophistically integrates V-J and HOG + SVM methods based on their different descending trends of detection speed to improve detection efficiency. A comprehensive evaluation shows that the switching strategy, combined with the road orientation adjustment method, can significantly improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the vehicle detection from UAV images. The results also show that the proposed vehicle detection method is competitive compared with other existing vehicle detection methods. Furthermore, since the proposed vehicle detection method can be performed on videos captured from moving UAV platforms without the need of image registration or additional road database, it has great potentials of field applications. Future research will be focusing on expanding the current method for detecting other transportation modes such as buses, trucks, motors, bicycles, and pedestrians.

Fast training procedure for Viola–Jones type object detectors using Laplacian clutter models

This paper presents a fast training strategy for the Viola---Jones (VJ) type object-detection systems. The VJ object- detection system, popular for its high accuracy at real-time testing speeds, has a drawback that it is slow to train. A face detector, for example, can take days to train. In content-based image retrieval (CBIR), where search needs to be performed instantaneously, VJ's long training time is not affordable. Therefore, VJ's method is hardly used for such applications. This paper proposes two modifications to the training algorithm of VJ-type object detection systems which reduces the training time to the order of seconds. Firstly, Laplacian clutter (non-object) models are used to train the weak classifier, thus eliminating the need to read and evaluate thousands of clutter images. Secondly, the training procedure is simplified by removing the time-consuming AdaBoost-based feature selection procedure. An object detector, trained with 500 images, approximately takes 2 s for training in a conventional 3 GHz machine. Our results show that the accuracy of the detector, built with the proposed approach, is inferior to that of VJ for difficult object class such as frontal faces. However, for objects with lesser degree of intra-class variations such as hearts, state-of-the-art accuracy can be obtained. Importantly, for CBIR applications, the fast testing speed of the VJ type object detector is maintained.

Recognition of a Driver's Gaze for Vehicle Headlamp Control

In this paper, we propose a novel method for gaze recognition of a driver coping with rotation of a driver's face. Frontal face images and left half profile images were separately trained using the Viola-Jones (V-J) algorithm to produce classifiers that can detect faces. The right half profile can be detected by mirroring the entire image when neither a frontal face nor a left half profile was detected. As an initial step, this method was used to simultaneously detect the driver's face. Then, we applied a regressional version of linear discriminant analysis (LDAr) to the detected facial region to extract important features for classification. Finally, these features were used to classify the driver's gaze in seven directions. In the feature extraction step, LDAr tries to find features that maximize the ratio of interdistances among samples with large differences in the target value to those with small differences in the target value. Therefore, the resultant features are more fitted to regression problems than conventional feature extraction methods. In addition to LDAr, in this paper, a 2-D extension of LDAr is also developed and used as a feature extraction method for gaze recognition. The experimental results show that the proposed method achieves a good gaze recognition rate under various rotation angles of a driver's head, resulting in a reliable headlamp control performance.
