Gait recognition based on curvelet transform and PCANet

Conventional gait recognition schemes has poor recognition accuracies in presence of covariates. It is mainly due to ineffective and inefficient representation and discriminative feature extraction schemes. The paper presents new technique to extract discriminative features from masked gait energy image based on curvelet transform and PCANet. The binary gait silhouette video sequence obtained from pre-processing of video sequence is converted in to masked gait energy image and then direction and edge representation ability of fast discrete curvelet transform is employed. Nonlinear and non invertible, image space to feature space mapping scheme of PCANet is used to extract discriminative robust features. The suitability and effectiveness of newly proposed scheme is demonstrated by experimentation on standard publicly available benchmark USF HumanID database.

Human facial expression recognition using curvelet feature extraction and normalized mutual information feature selection

To recognize expressions accurately, facial expression systems require robust feature extraction and feature selection methods. In this paper, a normalized mutual information based feature selection technique is proposed for FER systems. The technique is derived from an existing method, that is, the max-relevance and min-redundancy (mRMR) method. We, however, propose to normalize the mutual information used in this method so that the domination of the relevance or of the redundancy can be eliminated. For feature extraction, curvelet transform is used. After the feature extraction and selection the feature space is reduced by employing linear discriminant analysis (LDA). Finally, hidden Markov model (HMM) is used to recognize the expressions. The proposed FER system (CNF-FER) is validated using four publicly available standard datasets. For each dataset, 10-fold cross validation scheme is utilized. CNF-FER outperformed the existing well-known statistical and state-of-the-art methods by achieving a weighted average recognition rate of 99 % across all the datasets.     

A new facial expression recognition based on curvelet transform and online sequential extreme learning machine initialized with spherical clustering

In this paper, a novel algorithm is proposed for facial expression recognition by integrating curvelet transform and online sequential extreme learning machine (OSELM) with radial basis function (RBF) hidden node having optimal network architecture. In the proposed algorithm, the curvelet transform is firstly applied to each region of the face image divided into local regions instead of whole face image to reduce the curvelet coefficients too huge to classify. Feature set is then generated by calculating the entropy, the standard deviation and the mean of curvelet coefficients of each region. Finally, spherical clustering (SC) method is employed to the feature set to automatically determine the optimal hidden node number and RBF hidden node parameters of OSELM by aim of increasing classification accuracy and reducing the required time to select the hidden node number. So, the learning machine is called as OSELM-SC. It is constructed two groups of experiments: The aim of the first one is to evaluate the classification performance of OSELM-SC on the benchmark datasets, i.e., image segment, satellite image and DNA. The second one is to test the performance of the proposed facial expression recognition algorithm on the Japanese Female Facial Expression database and the Cohn-Kanade database. The obtained experimental results are compared against the state-of-the-art methods. The results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm can produce effective facial expression features and exhibit good recognition accuracy and robustness.     

Fast discrete curvelet transform based anisotropic iris coding and recognition using k-out-of-n: A fused post-classifier

This paper presents rotation invariant technique for iris feature extraction and fused post-classification at the decision level to improve the performance under non-ideal environmental conditions. In this work, directional iris texture features based on two-dimensional (2D) Fast Discrete Curvelet Transform (FDCT) are computed. This approach divides the normalized iris image into six sub-images. The curvelet transform is applied on each sub-image. The feature vector for each sub-image is derived using the directional energies of these curvelet coefficients. These distances are fused at the decision level through novel post-classifier using k-out-of-n: A scheme to reduce the false rejection rate. The feasibility of the proposed algorithm has been tested using UBIRIS, MMU1 and CASIA-Iris V2.0 databases and performance is compared with some of the well-known existing iris recognition algorithms. The experimental results show that the performance is comparable with some of the state-of-the-art iris recognition algorithms.
