Face recognition using spectral features

Face recognition is a challenging task in computer vision and pattern recognition. It is well-known that obtaining a low-dimensional feature representation with enhanced discriminatory power is of paramount importance to face recognition. Moreover, recent research has shown that the face images reside on a possibly nonlinear manifold. Thus, how to effectively exploit the hidden structure is a key problem that significantly affects the recognition results. In this paper, we propose a new unsupervised nonlinear feature extraction method called spectral feature analysis (SFA). The main advantages of SFA over traditional feature extraction methods are: (1) SFA does not suffer from the small-sample-size problem; (2) SFA can extract discriminatory information from the data, and we show that linear discriminant analysis can be subsumed under the SFA framework; (3) SFA can effectively discover the nonlinear structure hidden in the data. These appealing properties make SFA very suitable for face recognition tasks. Experimental results on three benchmark face databases illustrate the superiority of SFA over traditional methods.

Character independent font recognition on a single Chinese character

A novel algorithm for font recognition on a single unknown Chinese character, independent of the identity of the character, is proposed in this paper. We employ a wavelet transform on the character image and extract wavelet features from the transformed image. After a Box-Cox transformation and LDA (linear discriminant analysis) process, the discriminating features for font recognition are extracted and classified through a MQDF (Modified quadric distance function) classifier with only one prototype for each font class. Our experiments show that our algorithm can achieve a recognition rate of 90.28 percent on a single unknown character and 99.01 percent if five characters are used for font recognition. Compared with existing methods, all of which are based on a text block, our method can provide a higher recognition rate and is more flexible and robust, since it is based on a single unknown character. Additionally, our method demonstrates that it is possible to extract subtle yet discriminative signals embedded in a much larger noisy background

Manufacturing features recognition using backpropagation neural networks

A backpropagation neural network (BPN) is applied to the problem of feature recognition from a boundary representation (B-rep) solid model to facilitate process planning of manufactured products. It is based on the use of the face complexity code to represent the features and a neural network for the analysis of the recognition. The face complexity code is a measure of the face complexity of a feature based on the convexity or concavity of the surrounding geometry. The codes for various features are fed to the network for analysis. A backpropagation network is implemented for recognition of features and tested on published results to measure its performance. Any two or more features having significant differences in face complexity codes were used as exemplars for training the network. A new feature presented to the network is associated with one of the existing clusters, if they are similar, or the network creates a new cluster, if otherwise. Experimental results show that the network was consistent in recognizing features, hence is appropriate for application to the problem of feature recognition in automated manufacturing environment.

Coloured object recognition using invariant spectral features

A new algorithm using invariant spectral features for segmenting colour images is presented in this paper. Input data are three primary images obtained from a colour sensor. The input colour image is transformed to IHS (Intensity, Hue, Saturation) colour space. This colour space transform compensates for illumination variations and delivers image pixel values with low variance for individual colour regions, hence contributing to simplified segmentation. The hue and saturation images are then separately filtered and combined. The resulting image is segmented by means of a threshold process. An opening operation on the segmented image completes the algorithm. Experimental results obtained for several images are presented. Issues related to illumination and sensors are also addressed.     

Bengali alpha-numeric character recognition using curvature features

This paper is concerned with recognition of hand-written and/or printed multifont alpha-numeric Bengali characters. It is assumed that characters are present in an isolated fashion. In the present work characters have been represented in terms of the primitives and structural constraints between the primitives imposed by the junctions present in the characters. The primitives have been characterized on the basis of the significant curvature events like curvature maxima, curvature minima and inflexion points observed along their extent. Curvature properties have been extracted after thinning the smoothed character images and filtering the thinned images using a Gaussian kernel. The unknown samples are classified using a two-stage feed forward neural net based recognition scheme. Experimental results have established the effectiveness of the technique     

Optical pattern recognition using two-channel joint transform correlation

A new joint transform correlation (JTC) technique, named two-channel JTC (TJTC), is proposed in this paper for optical pattern recognition applications. The TJTC technique independently evaluates the autocorrelation and crosscorrelation values of the reference and the target images and employs a modified decision algorithm. In addition, optical threshold operation and fringe-adjusted filter are incorporated in the proposed technique to enhance the correlation output and to improve the discrimination performance. The proposed technique shows better recognition performance compared to existing JTC techniques. Computer simulation are presented to investigate the salient features of the proposed TJTC technique with noise-free as well as noisy input scenes. The text was submitted by the authors in English.     

An improved palmprint recognition system using iris features

This paper presents a bimodal biometric recognition system based on the extracted features of the human palmprint and iris using a new graph-based approach termed Fisher locality preserving projections (FLPP). This new technique employs two graphs with the first being used to characterize the within-class compactness and the second dedicated to the augmentation of the between-class separability. By applying the FLPP, only the most discriminant and stable palmprint and iris features are retained. FLPP was implemented on the frequency domain by transforming the extracted region of interest extraction of both biometric modalities using Fourier transform. Subsequently, the palmprint and iris features vectors obtained are matched with their counterpart in the templates databases and the obtained scores are fused to produce a final decision. The proposed combination of palmprint and iris patterns has shown an excellent performance compared to unimodal palmprint biometric recognition. The system was evaluated on a database of 108 subjects and the experimental results show that our system performs very well and achieves a high accuracy expressed by an equal error rate of 0.00%.
