Power-law radon-transformed superimposed inverse filter synthetic discriminant correlator for facial recognition

چکیده
A power-law correlation based on an inverse filter Fourier-Radon-transform synthetic discriminant function (SDF) for facial recognition is proposed. In order to avoid spectral overlap and nonlinear crosstalk, superposition of rotationally variant sets of inverse filter Fourier-transformed Radon-processed templates is used to generate the SDF. For the inverse filter, the Fourier transform of M projections (Radon Transform) from one training image is combined with (N-1) M Fourier transform of M projections taken from another N-1 training image. This synthetic SDF filter has a very high discrimination capability; however, it is not noise robust. To overcome this problem, a power-law dynamic range compression is added to the correlation process. The proposed filter has three advantages: (1) high discrimination capability as an inverse filter, (2) noise robustness due to dynamic range compression, and (3) crosstalk-free nonlinear processing. The filter performance was evaluated by established metrics, such as peak-to-correlation energy (PCE), Horner efficiency, and correlation-peak intensity. The results showed significant improvement as the power-law filter compression increased.

Face Recognition Algorithms based on Transformed Shape Features
Human face recognition is, indeed, a challenging task, especially under the illumination and pose variations. We examine in the present paper effectiveness of two simple algorithms using coiflet packet and Radon transforms to recognize human faces from some databases of still gray level images, under the environment of illumination and pose variations. Both the algorithms convert 2-D gray level...
