چکیده

We describe a novel dynamic vision scheme and its application for locating face images. The approach is based on a biologically motivated feature extraction model involving retinal sampling along M-type lattices and small oscillatory eye movements. The bounding box of the face is then found based on the conspicuity surface emerging while scanning the input and deriving the features. Simulation results on over 400 images showed an error rate of less than 5 % and demonstrated the applicability of our approach.

Supervised Feature Extraction of Face Images for Improvement of Recognition Accuracy

Dimensionality reduction methods transform or select a low dimensional feature space to efficiently represent the original high dimensional feature space of data. Feature reduction techniques are an important step in many pattern recognition problems in different fields especially in analyzing of high dimensional data. Hyperspectral images are acquired by remote sensors and human face images ar...

Developing a Feature Extraction of Existing Structures Using an Ambient Vibration Test

The paper aims to extract the dynamic properties of existing structures without utilizing the analytical models. The ambient vibration testing could be used on any type of frame such as concrete, steel and masonry to investigate the structural vulnerability. The method could be the first stage and necessarily for the retrofit process. To achieve this aim, the ambient vibration testing can...

Disguised Face Recognition by Using Local Phase Quantization and Singular Value Decomposition

Disguised face recognition is a major challenge in the field of face recognition which has been taken less attention. Therefore, in this paper a disguised face recognition algorithm based on Local Phase Quantization (LPQ) method and Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) is presented which deals with two main challenges. The first challenge is when an individual intentionally alters the appearance ...

Automatic Face Recognition via Local Directional Patterns

Automatic facial recognition has many potential applications in different areas of humancomputer interaction. However, they are not yet fully realized due to the lack of an effectivefacial feature descriptor. In this paper, we present a new appearance based feature descriptor,the local directional pattern (LDP), to represent facial geometry and analyze its performance inrecognition. An LDP feat...

Probabilistic Facial Feature Extraction Using Joint Distribution of Location and Texture Information

In this work, we propose a method which can extract critical points on a face using both location and texture information. This new approach can automatically learn feature information from training data. It finds the best facial feature locations by maximizing the joint distribution of location and texture parameters. We first introduce an independence assumption. Then, we improve upon this mo...
