چکیده

In this paper, the problem of face authentication using salient facial features together with statistical generative models is adressed. Actually, classical generative models, and Gaussian Mixture Models in particular make strong assumptions on the way observations derived from face images are generated. Indeed, systems proposed so far consider that local observations are independent, which is obviously not the case in a face. Hence, we propose a new generative model based on Bayesian Networks using only salient facial features. We compare it to Gaussian Mixture Models using the same set of observations. Conducted experiments on the BANCA database show that our model is suitable for the face authentication task, since it outperforms not only Gaussian Mixture Models, but also classical appearance-based methods, such as Eigenfaces and Fisherfaces.

A novel statistical generative model dedicated to face recognition

In this paper, a novel statistical generative model to describe a face is presented, and is applied to the face authentication task. Classical generative models used so far in face recognition, such as Gaussian Mixture Models (GMMs) and Hidden Markov Models (HMMs) for instance, are making strong assumptions on the observations derived from a face image. Indeed, such models usually assume that l...

Bayesian Networks as Generative Models for Face Recognition

In this thesis, we address the problem of face modelling by using dedicated statistical generative models, with an application to the face authentication task. Face authentication consists in either accepting or rejecting a user’s claim supported by its face image. Classical generative models, such as Gaussian Mixture Models (GMM), Hidden Markov Models (HMM) and their variants have been proved ...

An efficient non-repudiation billing protocol in heterogeneous 3G-WLAN networks

The wireless communication with delivering variety of services to users is growing rapidly in recent years. The third generation of cellular networks (3G), and local wireless networks (WLAN) are the two widely used technologies in wireless networks. 3G networks have the capability of covering a vast area; while, WLAN networks provide higher transmission rates with less coverage. Since the two n...

Bayesian Networks to Combine Intensity and Color Information in Face Recognition

We present generative models dedicated to face recognition. Our models consider data extracted from color face images and use Bayesian Networks to model relationships between different observations derived from a single face. Specifically, the use of color as a complementary observation to local, grayscale-based features is investigated. This is done by means of new generative models, combining...
