基于特征提取与认证的彩色图像人脸检测

在深入的对频谱脸法和Fisherface方法进行研究后,综合这两种方法的优点,提出了一种基于频谱脸和Fisher-face的人脸识别新方法。频谱脸方法主要是采用二维小波变换和傅立叶变换。因为人脸图像的低频部分对人脸的表情变化是不敏感的,所以对人脸图像使用二维小波变换,提取人脸图像的低频部分。对人脸图像的低频部分使用傅立叶变换,从而获得原人像的一个低维空间的表达。但是频谱脸特征维数仍然较高,所以在频谱脸法的基础上继续提取人脸频谱图像的Fisherface特征,降低特征的维数,提高识别效率。利用人脸面部构造产生的灰度特性提取眼睛,利用嘴唇的色度特征分割出嘴巴,进而根据眼睛和嘴巴构成三角形模板的特性,精确定位人脸在图像中的位置。实验结果表明,这种结合肤色和面部特征的算法,能够对人脸进行较快速、准确的定位,而且结果比较稳定可靠。

Automatic facial expression recognition: feature extraction and selection

In this paper, we investigate feature extraction and feature selection methods as well as classification methods for automatic facial expression recognition (FER) system. The FER system is fully automatic and consists of the following modules: face detection, facial detection, feature extraction, selection of optimal features, and classification. Face detection is based on AdaBoost algorithm and is followed by the extraction of frame with the maximum intensity of emotion using the inter-frame mutual information criterion. The selected frames are then processed to generate characteristic features using different methods including: Gabor filters, log Gabor filter, local binary pattern (LBP) operator, higher-order local autocorrelation (HLAC) and a recent proposed method called HLAC-like features (HLACLF). The most informative features are selected based on both wrapper and filter feature selection methods. Experiments on several facial expression databases show comparisons of different methods.     

Gabor feature based classification using the enhanced fisher lineardiscriminant model for face recognition

This paper introduces a novel Gabor-Fisher (1936) classifier (GFC) for face recognition. The GFC method, which is robust to changes in illumination and facial expression, applies the enhanced Fisher linear discriminant model (EFM) to an augmented Gabor feature vector derived from the Gabor wavelet representation of face images. The novelty of this paper comes from (1) the derivation of an augmented Gabor feature vector, whose dimensionality is further reduced using the EFM by considering both data compression and recognition (generalization) performance; (2) the development of a Gabor-Fisher classifier for multi-class problems; and (3) extensive performance evaluation studies. In particular, we performed comparative studies of different similarity measures applied to various classifiers. We also performed comparative experimental studies of various face recognition schemes, including our novel GFC method, the Gabor wavelet method, the eigenfaces method, the Fisherfaces method, the EFM method, the combination of Gabor and the eigenfaces method, and the combination of Gabor and the Fisherfaces method. The feasibility of the new GFC method has been successfully tested on face recognition using 600 FERET frontal face images corresponding to 200 subjects, which were acquired under variable illumination and facial expressions. The novel GFC method achieves 100% accuracy on face recognition using only 62 features.     

Adaptive feature selection based on reconstruction residual and accurately located landmarks for expression-robust 3D face recognition

A novel adaptive feature selection based on reconstruction residual and accurately located landmarks for expression-robust 3D face recognition is proposed in this paper. Firstly, the novel facial coarse-to-fine landmarks localization method based on Active Shape Model and Gabor wavelets transformation is proposed to exactly and automatically locate facial landmarks in range image. Secondly, the multi-scale fusion of the pyramid local binary patterns (F-PLBP) based on the irregular segmentation associated with the located landmarks is proposed to extract the discriminative feature. Thirdly, a sparse representation-based classifier based on the adaptive feature selection (A-SRC) using the distribution of the reconstruction residual is presented to select the expression-robust feature and identify the faces. Finally, the experimental evaluation based on FRGC v2.0 indicates that the adaptive feature selection method using F-PLBP combined with the A-SRC can obtain the high recognition accuracy by performing the higher discriminative power to overcome the influence from the facial expression variations.     

Face Recognition Using Dual-Tree Complex Wavelet Features

We propose a novel facial representation based on the dual-tree complex wavelet transform for face recognition. It is effective and efficient to represent the geometrical structures in facial image with low redundancy. Moreover, we experimentally verify that the proposed method is more powerful to extract facial features robust against the variations of shift and illumination than the discrete wavelet transform and Gabor wavelet transform.     

Gabor-based kernel PCA with doubly nonlinear mapping for face recognition with a single face image.

In this paper, a novel Gabor-based kernel principal component analysis (PCA) with doubly nonlinear mapping is proposed for human face recognition. In our approach, the Gabor wavelets are used to extract facial features, then a doubly nonlinear mapping kernel PCA (DKPCA) is proposed to perform feature transformation and face recognition. The conventional kernel PCA nonlinearly maps an input image into a high-dimensional feature space in order to make the mapped features linearly separable. However, this method does not consider the structural characteristics of the face images, and it is difficult to determine which nonlinear mapping is more effective for face recognition. In this paper, a new method of nonlinear mapping, which is performed in the original feature space, is defined. The proposed nonlinear mapping not only considers the statistical property of the input features, but also adopts an eigenmask to emphasize those important facial feature points. Therefore, after this mapping, the transformed features have a higher discriminating power, and the relative importance of the features adapts to the spatial importance of the face images. This new nonlinear mapping is combined with the conventional kernel PCA to be called "doubly" nonlinear mapping kernel PCA. The proposed algorithm is evaluated based on the Yale database, the AR database, the ORL database and the YaleB database by using different face recognition methods such as PCA, Gabor wavelets plus PCA, and Gabor wavelets plus kernel PCA with fractional power polynomial models. Experiments show that consistent and promising results are obtained.
