A Scale-Space Approach to Face Recognition from Profiles
نویسندگان
چکیده
A method for face recognition using profile images based on the scale-space filtering is presented in this paper. A grey-level image of profile is thresholded to produce a binary, black and white image, the black corresponding to face region. A pre-processing step then extracts the outline curve of the front portion of the silhouette that bounds the face image. From this curve, a set of twelve fiducial marks is automatically identified using scalespace filtering with varying the scale parameter. A set of twenty-one feature characteristics is derived from these fiducial marks. After normalising the feature characteristics using two selected fiducial marks, the Euclidean distance measure is used for measuring the similarity of the feature vectors derived from the outline profiles. Experiments were performed on a total of 150 profiles of thirty persons. Experimental results are presented and discussed. Finally, recognition rates and conclusions are given.

Sparse coding is an unsupervised method which learns a set of over-complete bases to represent data such as image and video. Sparse coding has increasing attraction for image classification applications in recent years. But in the cases where we have some similar images from different classes, such as face recognition applications, different images may be classified into the same class, and hen...

In the field of the words recognition, three approaches of words isolation, the overall shape and combination of them are used. Most optical recognition methods recognize the word based on break the word into its letters and then recogniz them. This approach is faced some problems because of the letters isolation dificulties and its recognition accurcy in texts with a low image quality. Therefo...
