Bayesian Networks to Combine Intensity and Color Information in Face Recognition
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 color and grayscale information in a principled way. Color is either incorporated at the global face level, at the local facial feature level, or at both levels. Experiments on the face authentication task are conducted on two benchmark databases, XM2VTS and BANCA. Obtained results show that integrating color in an intelligent manner improves the performance over a similar baseline system acting on grayscale only, but also over an Eigenfaces-based system were information from different color channels are treated independently.

The human facial recognition is the base for all facial processing systems. In this work a basicmethod is presented for the reduction of detection time in fixed image with different color levels.The proposed method is the simplest approach in face spatial localization, since it doesn’trequire the dynamics of images and information of the color of skin in image background. Inaddition, to do face...

ABSTRACT-Manual harvesting of saffron as a laborious and exhausting job; it not only raises production costs, but also reduces the quality due to contaminations. Saffron quality could be enhanced if automated harvesting is substituted. As the main step towards designing a saffron harvester robot, an appropriate algorithm was developed in this study based on image processing techniques to recogn...
متن کاملBayesian 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 ...
