چکیده

An automatic facial feature extraction method is presented in this paper. The method is based on the edge density distribution of the image. In the preprocessing stage a face is approximated to an ellipse, and genetic algorithm is applied to search for the best ellipse region match. In the feature extraction stage, genetic algorithm is applied to extract the facial features, such as the eyes, nose and mouth, in the predefined sub regions. The simulation results validates that the proposed method is capable of automatically extracting features from various video images effectively under natural lighting environments and in the presence of certain amount of artificial noise and of multiface oriented with angles.

Feature selection using genetic algorithm for classification of schizophrenia using fMRI data

In this paper we propose a new method for classification of subjects into schizophrenia and control groups using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data. In the preprocessing step, the number of fMRI time points is reduced using principal component analysis (PCA). Then, independent component analysis (ICA) is used for further data analysis. It estimates independent components (ICs) of...

Automatic facial feature extraction by genetic algorithms

An automatic facial feature extraction algorithm is presented. The algorithm is composed of two main stages: the face region estimation stage and the feature extraction stage. In the face region estimation stage, a second-chance region growing method is adopted to estimate the face region of a target image. In the feature extraction stage, genetic search algorithms are applied to extract the fa...

Facial expression recognition based on Local Binary Patterns

Classical LBP such as complexity and high dimensions of feature vectors that make it necessary to apply dimension reduction processes. In this paper, we introduce an improved LBP algorithm to solve these problems that utilizes Fast PCA algorithm for reduction of vector dimensions of extracted features. In other words, proffer method (Fast PCA+LBP) is an improved LBP algorithm that is extracted ...
