Face Recognition Using Pyramid Histogram of Oriented Gradients and SVM
نویسندگان
چکیده
Face recognition has become an important issue in many applications such as security systems, credit card verification and criminal identification. The recently proposed shape descriptor, Pyramid Histogram of Oriented Gradients (PHOG) features, counts occurrences of gradient orientation in localized portions of an image and has been proved as an efficient tool for providing spatial distribution of edges. In this paper, we proposed to use pyramid histogram of oriented gradients (PHOG) as the features extracted for face recognition. The obtained feature vectors are fed up into Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier for classification. Experiments carried out on UMIST Face Database databases that both frontal head images and rotated head images are investigated. The experimental results show this approach can be used to automatically identify the faces more effective.

The intelligence of a mobile robot is highly dependent on its vision. The main objective of an intelligent mobile robot is in its ability to the online image processing, object detection, and especially visual tracking which is a complex task in stochastic environments. Tracking algorithms suffer from sequence challenges such as illumination variation, occlusion, and background clutter, so an a...
متن کاملFace Replacement with HOG and SVM
This project is an attempt to completely replace faces in video frames using Support Vector Machines (SVM) as classifiers on Histogram of Oriented Gradients (HOG). We trained an SVM classifier to first identify a face in an image using HOG descriptors and then identify fiducial markers like eyes, nose and mouth in the identified face using Matlab’s Cascade Object Descriptor. Once a convex hull ...

This paper emphasised an approach for offline signature verification and identification. Two image descriptors are studied, including Pyramid Histogram of Oriented Gradients (PHOG), and a direction feature proposed in the literature. Compared with many previously proposed signature feature extraction approaches, PHOG has advantages in the extraction of discriminative information from handwritin...
