A Novel Approach to Face Recognition Based on Thermal Imaging
نویسندگان
چکیده
A novel approach to face recognition system based on thermal image is presented. The thermal images are captured using Thermal Mid Wave Infrared (MWIR) camera system at various temperature to take into consideration of subtle variations that may occur over time. The vasculature information from the image is extracted and used for matching process. Four images are used for registration process. The image registration is done with the Rigid Body Image Registration tool. Before registering Gabor filter is applied to the images and then filtered images are fused and registered. Face segmentation is done by localized region based active counters. The anisotropic diffusion filter is applied to an image and fused with the segmented image. The signature is then generated from the segmented image. Then templates are generated and stored for matching purpose. To perform authenticate the signatures are generated first and matched with the templates stored in the system

Face Recognition in Thermal Images based on Sparse Classifier
Despite recent advances in face recognition systems, they suffer from serious problems because of the extensive types of changes in human face (changes like light, glasses, head tilt, different emotional modes). Each one of these factors can significantly reduce the face recognition accuracy. Several methods have been proposed by researchers to overcome these problems. Nonetheless, in recent ye...

متن کاملA New Fast and Efficient HMM-Based Face Recognition System Using a 7-State HMM Along With SVD Coefficients
In this paper, a new Hidden Markov Model (HMM)-based face recognition system is proposed. As a novel point despite of five-state HMM used in pervious researches, we used 7-state HMM to cover more details. Indeed we add two new face regions, eyebrows and chin, to the model. As another novel point, we used a small number of quantized Singular Values Decomposition (SVD) coefficients as feature...
متن کاملFace Recognition as a Biometrics Approach Using Thermal Images
Biometrics is a technology used for measuring and analyzing a person's unique characteristics. Making a secure biometric system is not as easy as it might appear. The word biometrics is very often used as a synonym for the perfect security. Human Biometrics is now moving towards thermal imaging. Thermal imaging is simply the technique of using the heat given off by an object to produce an image...
