چکیده

In this paper, a new technique called Lophoscopic PCA is developed for recognition of partially occluded faces and faces with strong facial expression variations. As opposed to the PCA or the Eigenfeatures approaches, this method does not try to solve the face recognition problem neither from a holistic, nor a feature perspective; in fact it studies the problem from a near or pseudo-holistic perspective. The main idea is to “eliminate” some features which may cause a reduction of the recognition accuracy under special conditions (facial expression variations or appearance of disguises). To test and evaluate the performance of the new technique, a series of experiments are carried out on the UPC face database. The experimental results have shown that using Lophoscopic PCA the recognition accuracy can increase in comparison with the classical PCA method and be more robust against exaggerated changes in the facial expression or the appearance of objects like sun glasses.

This paper is based on a combination of the principal component analysis (PCA), eigenface and support vector machines. Using N-fold method and with respect to the value of N, any person’s face images are divided into two sections. As a result, vectors of training features and test features are obtain ed. Classification precision and accuracy was examined with three different types of kernel and...

Methods for face recognition which are based on face structure are among techniques without supervision and produce unfavorable results in the presence of linear changes in images. PCA is a linear transform and a powerful tool for data analysis but does not produce good results for face recognition when there are non-linear changes resulting from changes in position, intensity and gesture in th...

Face recognition based on PCA and logistic regression analysis

Face recognition is an important research hotspot. More and more new methods have been proposed in recent years. In this paper, we propose a novel face recognition method which is based on PCA and logistic regression. PCA is one of the most important methods in pattern recognition. Therefore, in our method, PCA is used to extract feature and reduce the dimensions of process data. Afterwards, we...

Practical Aspects of Face Recognition

Current systems for face recognition techniques often use either SVM or Adaboost techniques for face detection part and use PCA for face recognition part. In this paper, we offer a novel method for not only a powerful face detection system based on Six-segment-filters (SSR) and Adaboost learning algorithms but also for a face recognition system. A new exclusive face detection algorithm has been...
