Occlusion invariant face recognition using mean based weight matrix and support vector machine

In this paper, a novel occlusion invariant face recognition algorithm based on Mean based weight matrix (MBWM) technique is proposed. The proposed algorithm is composed of two phases—the occlusion detection phase and the MBWM based face recognition phase. A feature based approach is used to effectively detect partial occlusions for a given input face image. The input face image is first divided into a finite number of disjointed local patches, and features are extracted for each patch, and the occlusion present is detected. Features obtained from the corresponding occlusion-free patches of training images are used for face image recognition. The SVM classifier is used for occlusion detection for each patch. In the recognition phase, the MBWM bases of occlusion-free image patches are used for face recognition. Euclidean nearest neighbour rule is applied for the matching. GTAV face database that includes many occluded face images by sunglasses and hand are used for the experiment. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed local patch-based occlusion detection technique works well and the MBWM based method shows superior performance to other conventional approaches.

Local-Tetra-Patterns for Face Recognition Encoded on Spatial Pyramid Matching

Face recognition is a big challenge in the research field with a lot of problems like misalignment, illumination changes, pose variations, occlusion, and expressions. Providing a single solution to solve all these problems at a time is a challenging task. We have put some effort to provide a solution to solving all these issues by introducing a face recognition model based on local tetra patterns and spatial pyramid matching. The technique is based on a procedure where the input image is passed through an algorithm that extracts local features by using spatial pyramid matching and max-pooling. Finally, the input image is recognized using a robust kernel representation method using extracted features. The qualitative and quantitative analysis of the proposed method is carried on benchmark image datasets. Experimental results showed that the proposed method performs better in terms of standard performance evaluation parameters as compared to state-of-the-art methods on AR, ORL, LFW, and FERET face recognition datasets.     

Robust face recognition using posterior union model based neural networks

Face recognition with unknown, partial distortion and occlusion is a practical problem, and has a wide range of applications, including security and multimedia information retrieval. The authors present a new approach to face recognition subject to unknown, partial distortion and occlusion. The new approach is based on a probabilistic decision-based neural network, enhanced by a statistical method called the posterior union model (PUM). PUM is an approach for ignoring severely mismatched local features and focusing the recognition mainly on the reliable local features. It thereby improves the robustness while assuming no prior information about the corruption. We call the new approach the posterior union decision-based neural network (PUDBNN). The new PUDBNN model has been evaluated on three face image databases (XM2VTS, AT&T and AR) using testing images subjected to various types of simulated and realistic partial distortion and occlusion. The new system has been compared to other approaches and has demonstrated improved performance.     

Near-infrared and visible light image fusion algorithm for face recognition

In order to improve face recognition accuracy, we present a simple near-infrared (NIR) and visible light (VL) image fusion algorithm based on two-dimensional linear discriminant analysis (2DLDA). We first use two such schemes to extract two classes of face discriminant features of each of NIR and VL images separately. Then the two classes of features of each kind of images are fused using the matching score fusion method. At last, a simple NIR and VL image fusion approach is exploited to combine the scores of NIR and VL images and to obtain the classification result. The experimental results show that the proposed NIR and VL image fusion approach can effectively improve the accuracy of face recognition.

Face Recognition Based on Gabor Feature Extraction Followed by FastICA and LDA

Over the past few decades, face recognition has become the most effective biometric technique in recognizing people’s identity, as it is widely used in many areas of our daily lives. However, it is a challenging technique since facial images vary in rotations, expressions, and illuminations. To minimize the impact of these challenges, exploiting information from various feature extraction methods is recommended since one of the most critical tasks in face recognition system is the extraction of facial features. Therefore, this paper presents a new approach to face recognition based on the fusion of Gabor-based feature extraction, Fast Independent Component Analysis (FastICA), and Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA). In the presented method, first, face images are transformed to grayscale and resized to have a uniform size. After that, facial features are extracted from the aligned face image using Gabor, FastICA, and LDA methods. Finally, the nearest distance classifier is utilized to recognize the identity of the individuals. Here, the performance of six distance classifiers, namely Euclidean, Cosine, Bray-Curtis, Mahalanobis, Correlation, and Manhattan, are investigated. Experimental results revealed that the presented method attains a higher rank-one recognition rate compared to the recent approaches in the literature on four benchmarked face datasets: ORL, GT, FEI, and Yale. Moreover, it showed that the proposed method not only helps in better extracting the features but also in improving the overall efficiency of the facial recognition system.     

Text Detection and Recognition for Natural Scene Images Using Deep Convolutional Neural Networks

Words are the most indispensable information in human life. It is very important to analyze and understand the meaning of words. Compared with the general visual elements, the text conveys rich and high-level moral information, which enables the computer to better understand the semantic content of the text. With the rapid development of computer technology, great achievements have been made in text information detection and recognition. However, when dealing with text characters in natural scene images, there are still some limitations in the detection and recognition of natural scene images. Because natural scene image has more interference and complexity than text, these factors make the detection and recognition of natural scene image text face many challenges. To solve this problem, a new text detection and recognition method based on depth convolution neural network is proposed for natural scene image in this paper. In text detection, this method obtains high-level visual features from the bottom pixels by ResNet network, and extracts the context features from character sequences by BLSTM layer, then introduce to the idea of faster R-CNN vertical anchor point to find the bounding box of the detected text, which effectively improves the effect of text object detection. In addition, in text recognition task, DenseNet model is used to construct character recognition based on Kares. Finally, the output of Softmax is used to classify each character. Our method can replace the artificially defined features with automatic learning and context-based features. It improves the efficiency and accuracy of recognition, and realizes text detection and recognition of natural scene images. And on the PAC2018 competition platform, the experimental results have achieved good results.
