Face Recognition Using Chain Codes
نویسندگان
چکیده
Face recognition is an active area of biometrics. This study investigates the use of Chain Codes as features for recognition purpose. Firstly a segmentation method, based on skin color model was applied, followed by contour detection, then the chain codes of the contours were determined. The first difference of chain codes were calculated since the latter is invariant to rotation. The features were calculated and stored in a matrix. Experiments were performed using the University of Essex Face database, and results show a recognition rate of 95% with this method, when compared with Principal Components Analysis (PCA) giving 87.5% recognition rate.

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...
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...

متن کاملFace Recognition using an Affine Sparse Coding approach
Sparse coding is an unsupervised method which learns a set of over-complete bases to represent data such as image and video. Sparse coding has increasing attraction for image classification applications in recent years. But in the cases where we have some similar images from different classes, such as face recognition applications, different images may be classified into the same class, and hen...
متن کاملRecognition of Isolated Handwritten Latin Characters using One Continuous Route of Freeman Chain Code Representation and Feedforward Neural Network Classifier
In a handwriting recognition problem, characters can be represented using chain codes. The main problem in representing characters using chain code is optimizing the length of the chain code. This paper proposes to use randomized algorithm to minimize the length of Freeman Chain Codes (FCC) generated from isolated handwritten characters. Feedforward neural network is used in the classification ...
