Face detection based on skin color likelihood

We propose a face detection method based on skin color likelihood via a boosting algorithm which emphasizes skin color information while deemphasizing non-skin color information. A stochastic model is adapted to compute the similarity between a color region and the skin color. Both Haar-like features and Local Binary Pattern (LBP) features are utilized to build a cascaded classifier. The boosted classifier is implemented based on skin color emphasis to localize the face region from a color image. Based on our experiments, the proposed method shows good tolerance to face pose variation and complex background with significant improvements over classical boosting-based classifiers in terms of total error rate performance.     

An efficient approach for face recognition based on common eigenvalues

In this paper, a simple technique is proposed for face recognition among many human faces. It is based on the polynomial coefficients, covariance matrix and algorithm on common eigenvalues. The main advantage of the proposed approach is that the identification of similarity between human faces is carried out without computing actual eigenvalues and eigenvectors. A symmetric matrix is calculated using the polynomial coefficients-based companion matrices of two compared images. The nullity of a calculated symmetric matrix is used as similarity measure for face recognition. The value of nullity is very small for dissimilar images and distinctly large for similar face images. The feasibility of the propose approach is demonstrated on three face databases, i.e., the ORL database, the Yale database B and the FERET database. Experimental results have shown the effectiveness of the proposed approach for feature extraction and classification of the face images having large variation in pose and illumination.

Face Orientation Normalization Using Eye Positions

Despite the fact that progress in face recognition algorithms over the last decades has been made, changing lighting conditions and different face orientation still remain as a challenging problem. A standard face recognition system identifies the person by comparing the input picture against pictures of all faces in a database and finding the best match. Usually face matching is carried out in two steps： during the first step detection of a face is done by finding exact position of it in a complex background （various lightning condition）, and in the second step face identification is performed using gathered databases. In reality detected faces can appear in different position and they can be rotated, so these disturbances reduce quality of the recognition algorithms dramatically. In this paper to increase the identification accuracy we propose original geometric normalization of the face, based on extracted facial feature position such as eyes. For the eyes localization lbllowing methods has been used： color based method, mean eye template and SVM （Support Vector Machine） technique. Experimental investigation has shown that the best results for eye center detection can be achieved using SVM technique. The recognition rate increases statistically by 28% using face orientation normalization based on the eyes position.     

Rough membership function based illumination classifier for illumination invariant face recognition

This paper proposes a face recognition system to overcome the problem due to illumination variation. The propose system first classifies the image's illumination into dark, normal or shadow and then based on the illumination type; an appropriate technique is applied for illumination normalization. Propose system ensures that there is no loss of features from the image due to a proper selection of illumination normalization technique for illumination compensation. Moreover, it also saves the processing time for illumination normalization process when an image is classified as normal. This makes the approach computationally efficient. Rough Set Theory is used to build rmf illumination classifier for illumination classification. The results obtained as high as 96% in terms of accuracy of correct classification of images as dark, normal or shadow.
