چکیده

In this paper, we propose a robust face recognition technique based on the principle of eigenfaces. The traditional eigenface recognition (EFR) method works quite well when the input test patterns are cropped faces. However, when confronted with recognizing faces embedded in arbitrary backgrounds, the EFR method fails to discriminate effectively between faces and background patterns, giving rise to many false alarms. In order to improve robustness in the presence of background, we argue in favor of learning the distribution of background patterns. A background space is constructed from the background patterns and this space together with the face space is used for recognizing faces. The proposed method outperforms the traditional EFR technique and gives very good results even on complicated scenes.

Sample diversity, representation effectiveness and robust dictionary learning for face recognition

Conventional dictionary learning algorithms suffer from the following problems when applied to face recognition. First, since in most face recognition applications there are only a limited number of original training samples, it is difficult to obtain a reliable dictionary with a large number of atoms from these samples. Second, because the face images of the same person vary with facial poses ...

Face Recognition using an Affine Sparse Coding approach

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...

Accurate and robust face recognition from RGB-D images with a deep learning approach

Face recognition from RGB-D images utilizes 2 complementary types of image data, i.e. colour and depth images, to achieve more accurate recognition. In this paper, we propose a face recognition system based on deep learning, which can be used to verify and identify a subject from the colour and depth face images captured with a consumer-level RGB-D camera. To recognize faces with colour and dep...
