LC3. Face recognition in humans

Face Recognition by Humans:

The human visual system is remarkably proficient at the task of identifying faces, even under severely degraded viewing conditions. A grand quest in computer vision is to design automated systems that can match, and eventually exceed, this level of performance. In order to accomplish this goal, a better understanding of the human brain’s face processing strategies is likely to be helpful. With ...

Face Recognition by Humans and Machines

Automatic Face Recognition via Local Directional Patterns

Automatic facial recognition has many potential applications in different areas of humancomputer interaction. However, they are not yet fully realized due to the lack of an effectivefacial feature descriptor. In this paper, we present a new appearance based feature descriptor,the local directional pattern (LDP), to represent facial geometry and analyze its performance inrecognition. An LDP feat...

Face Recognition Based Rank Reduction SVD Approach

Standard face recognition algorithms that use standard feature extraction techniques always suffer from image performance degradation. Recently, singular value decomposition and low-rank matrix are applied in many applications,including pattern recognition and feature extraction. The main objective of this research is to design an efficient face recognition approach by combining many tech...

Face Recognition by Cognitive Discriminant Features

Face recognition is still an active pattern analysis topic. Faces have already been treated as objects or textures, but human face recognition system takes a different approach in face recognition. People refer to faces by their most discriminant features. People usually describe faces in sentences like ``She's snub-nosed'' or ``he's got long nose'' or ``he's got round eyes'' and so like. These...
