Classroom attendance check is a contributing factor to student participation and the final success in the courses. Taking attendance by calling out names or passing around an attendance sheet are both time-consuming, and especially the latter is open to easy fraud. As an alternative, RFID, wireless, fingerprint, and iris and face recognition-based methods have been tested and developed for this purpose...
We investigated whether men and women use different scanning strategies to extract the visual information relevant for the recognition of female and male faces. We used an old-new recognition task during which observers were asked to identify previously learned faces. Data from two groups of observers (male, female) revealed a more accurate, but not faster, recognition of male face stimuli. Interestingly,...
In this paper we apply particle swarm optimization (PSO) feature selection to enhance Hidden Markov Model (HMM) states and parameters for face recognition systems. Ideal Feature selection for face images based on the idea of collaborative behavior of bird flocking to reduce the feature size and hence recognition time complicity. The framework has been inspected on 400 face pictures of the Olivetti...
Face recognition has broad excitement in the latest trend in image processing. Face recognition refers to identify a specific individual in digital image by analyzing and comparing patterns. It has numerous benefits which attract every sector but there are some issues such as more time consumption and lesser accuracy which degrade the user services. To solve this problem we proposed a highly accurate...
Recent research has established the negative impact of facial cosmetics on the matching accuracy of automated face recognition systems. In this paper, we analyze the impact of cosmetics on automated gender and age estimation algorithms. In this regard, we consider the use of facial cosmetics for (a) gender spoofing where male subjects attempt to look like females and vice versa, and (b) age alteration...
Facial emotions provide an essential source of information commonly used in human communication. For humans, their recognition is automatic and is done exploiting the real-time variations of facial features. However, the replication of this natural process using computer vision systems is still a challenge, since automation and real-time system requirements are compromised in order to achieve an accurate...
This paper proposes an effective method to construct a new descriptor for solving face recognition with pose variance. In this method, we use feature of nose and HAT-MARS descriptor to build a combined descriptor for matching between gallery and probe images. For experiments, our method uses only one gallery image on CMU-PIE database. The empirical results show that our method is strong and efficient.
In this paper, a global algorithm for human action, facial and gesture recognition is presented. The proposed algorithm depends on the extraction of multiple transform domain features and Canonical Correlation Analysis (CCA) for features fusion and classification. The proposed algorithm achieved the best reported results for facial and facial expression recognition. Excellent comparable results were...
This paper proposes a method to recognize human actions from a video sequence. The actions include walking, running, jogging, hand waving, clapping and boxing. The actions are categorized after recognition using a decision tree. Apart from other algorithms, our proposed method recognizes single human actions considering the speed, direction and the percentage of endpoints as a novel approach. In addition...
A face recognition algorithm based on a newly developed Transform Domain Mutual Principal Component Analysis (TD-2D-MuPCA) approach is proposed. In this approach, the spatial facial two-dimensional images (2D) and their division into horizontal, vertical and diagonal sub-images halves are generated. The sub-image halves are processed using non-overlapping and overlapping windows. Each face and its...
An automatic color facial expression recognition system has been designed and developed using multiple classifier classifications. This facial expression recognition system involves extracting the most communicative facial parts such as forehead, eyes with eyebrows, nose and mouth. Then these extracted features are trained individually using different classification system. Finally, a super classifier...
Automation systems are gaining popularity around the world. The use of these powerful technologies for home security has been proposed and some systems have been developed. Other implementations see the user taking a central role in providing and receiving updates to the system. We propose a system making use of an Android based smartphone as the user control point. Our Android application allows...
This paper presents a multi-attribute sparse coding approach for facial expression recognition by regarding Action-Units (AUs) as attributes. AUs describe the movements of individual facial muscles, which are detected from corresponding attribute masks in this work. They can not only be used to de scribe group property which enforces basis selection from groups with the same AUs as best as possible,...
In this paper, we propose a new temporal coherent face descriptor for video gender recognition. The proposed face descriptor is constructed from detected faces of continuous video frames. Because it describes detected faces under variant changes in continuous video frames and provides a unified feature description, face normalization and alignment processes can be avoided during gender recognition...
Digital Out Of Home (DOOH) applications which exploit computer vision algorithms to automatically collect soft biometrics of people in front a smart screen are of great interest for industry. In the last years many gender recognition pipelines have been proposed in literature. Different benchmark datasets have been introduced and used for testing purpose. This paper gives an overview of the state-of-the-art...
Face recognition has been largely studied in past years. However, most of the related work focus on increasing accuracy and/or speed to test a single pair probe-subject. In this work, we present a novel method inspired by the success of locality sensing hashing (LSH) applied to large general purpose datasets and by the robustness provided by partial least squares (PLS) analysis when applied to large...
Face recognition is the process of identification of a person by their facial images. This technique makes it possible to use the facial image of a person to authenticate him into a secure system. Face is the main part of human being to be distinguished from one another. Face recognition system mainly takes an image as an input and compares this image with a number of images stored in database to...
As modern technology evolves, the use of face recognition system is scattering in different sectors of commercial markets rather than in security purposes only. Various approaches are introduced for face recognition system, among them principal component analysis is one of the simplest and efficient method. To improve the performance of face recognition, choosing a threshold value and minimum number...
Recently, state-of-the-art recognition accuracies for pose-invariant face recognition have been achieved by using 2D-Warping methods in a nearest-neighbor framework. However, the main drawback of these methods is the high computational complexity. In this paper we address this issue. We use a simple and fast method to get a rough estimate of a 2D-Warping. This estimate can then be used to apply an...
Automatic facial expression classification is a challenging problem for developing intelligent human-computer interaction systems. In order to take into account the expression dynamics, existing works usually make the assumption that a specific facial expression is displayed with a pre-segmented evolution, i.e. starting from neutral and finishing on an apex frame. In this paper, we propose a method...
