Robust Face Detection Using a Modified Radial Basis Function Network

چکیده
Face detection from cluttered images is very challenging due to the wide variety of faces and the complexity of image backgrounds. In this paper, we propose a neural network based approach for locating frontal views of human faces in cluttered images. We use a radial basis function network (RBFN) for separation of face and non-face patterns, and the complexity of RBFN is reduced by principal component analysis (PCA). The influence of the number of hidden units and the configuration of basis functions on the detection performance was investigated. To further improve the performance, we integrate the distance from feature subspace into the RBFN. The proposed method has achieved high detection rate and low false positive rate on testing a large number of images. key words: face detection, face recognition, PCA, radial basis function, neural network

متن کاملHuman Face Recognition Using Radial Basis Function Neural Network
A neural network based face recognition system is presented in this paper. The system consists of two main procedures. The first one is face features extraction using Pseudo Zernike Moments (PZM) and the second one is face classification using Radial Basis Function (RBF) neural network. In this paper, some new results on face recognition are presented. Simulation results indicate that PZM with ...
متن کاملFace recognition using ensembles of networks
We describe a novel approach for fully automated face recognition and show its feasibility on a large data base of facial images (FERET). Our approach, based on a hybrid architecture consisting of an ensemble of connectionist networks radial basis functions (RBF) and inductive decision trees (DT), combines the merits of ’discrete and abstractive’ features with those of ’holistic’ template match...
متن کاملA Heuristic based RBFN for Location and Rotation Invariant Clear and Occluded Face Identification
This paper describes a robust and efficient method for rotation and location independent identification and localization of facial images using one modified Radial Basis Function Network (RBFN) which embeds a new Heuristic Based Clustering (HBC) and Back Propagation (BP) learning. HBC in RBFN determines the natural number of clusters or groups on the basis of 'person-view'. BP network...
