Face recognition by fractal transformations

چکیده
In this paper, we propose a new method for computerized human face recognition using fractal transformations. The popular use of fractal image coding has been for image compression. It is only recently that their uses for object recognition are being explored. We will show that by utilizing the intrinsic properties of block-wise self-similar transformations in fractal image coding we can use it to perform face recognition. The contractivity factor and the encoding scheme of the fractal encoder are shown to affect recognition rates. Using this method, an average error rate of 1.75% was obtained on the ORL face database.

Face authentication using speed fractal technique
In this paper, a new fractal based recognition method, Face Authentication using Speed Fractal Technique (FAST), is presented. The main contribution is the good compromise between memory requirements, execution time and recognition ratio. FAST is based on Iterated Function Systems (IFS) theory, largely studied in still image compression and indexing, but not yet widely used for face recognition...
متن کاملFace recognition using fractal codes
In this paper we propose a new method for face recognition using fractal codes. Fractal codes represent local contractive, affine transformations which when iteratively applied to range-domain pairs in an arbitrary initial image result in a fixed point close to a given image. The transformation parameters such as brightness offset, contrast factor, orientation and the address of the correspondi...
متن کاملA comprehensive experimental comparison of the aggregation techniques for face recognition
In face recognition, one of the most important problems to tackle is a large amount of data and the redundancy of information contained in facial images. There are numerous approaches attempting to reduce this redundancy. One of them is information aggregation based on the results of classifiers built on selected facial areas being the most salient regions from the point of view of classificati...

In this article we introduce the notion of textit{Fractal $omega$-operad} emerging from a natural $omega$-operad associated to any coglobular object in the category of higher operads in Batanin's sense, which in fact is a coendomorphism $omega$-operads. We have in mind coglobular object of higher operads which algebras are kind of higher transformations. It follows that this natural $omeg...
متن کاملFace recognition by using fractal encoding and backpropagation neural network
This paper presents a frontal view face recognition method by using fractal codes which are determined by a fractal encoding method from the edge pattern of the face region which covers eyebrows, eyes and a nose. In recognition process, these fractal codes are fed ass inputs to a Backpropagation neural network for learning and identifying a person. The experiments were performed with one in-roo...
