Eigenface method in face recognition is useful due to its insensitivity to large variations in facial expression and facial details. However its low recognition rate necessitates additional researches. In this paper, we present an efficient method for improving the recognition rate in face recognition using eigenface feature. For this, we performs a comparative study of three different classifiers which are i) a single prototype (SP) classifier, ii) a nearest neighbor (NN) classifier, and iii) a standard feedforward neural network (FNN) classifier. By evaluating and analyzing the performance of these three classifiers, we shows that the distribution of eigenface features of face image is not compact and that selections of classifier and sample training data are important for obtaining higher recognition rate. Our experiments with the ORL face database show that 1-NN classifier outperforms the SP and FNN classifiers. We have achieved a recognition rate of 91.0% by selecting sample trainging data properly and using 1-NN classifier.

Detection and recognition of human faces in images can be considered as an important aspect for applications that involve interaction between human and computer. In this paper, we propose a face recognition method using eigenfaces and fuzzy neural networks. The Principal Components Analysis (PCA) is one of the most successful technique that have been used to recognize faces in images. In this technique the eigenvectors (eigenfaces) and eigenvalues of an image is extracted from a covariance matrix which is constructed form image database. Face recognition is Performed by projecting an unknown image into the subspace spanned by the eigenfaces and by comparing its position in the face space with the positions of known indivisuals. Based on this technique, we propose a new algorithm for face recognition consisting of 5 steps including preprocessing, eigenfaces generation, design of fuzzy membership function, training of neural network, and recognition. First, each face image in the face database is preprocessed and eigenfaces are created. Fuzzy membership degrees are assigned to 135 eigenface weights, and these membership degrees are then inputted to a neural network to be trained. After training, the output value of the neural network is intupreted as the degree of face closeness to each face in the training database.

얼굴을 인식하는 연구 분야는 얼굴 영상을 분석하는 과정을 거친다. 또한, 얼굴 영상 분석은 얼굴 영상을 이용하는 모든 분야의 연구에 필요한 전처리 과정이라고 할 수 있다. 그러나 얼굴 영상을 분석하는 일은 많은 비용이 든다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 분석과정을 거치지 않고 얼굴 영상을 변형한다. 입력되어지는 얼굴 영상에 나타나는 얼굴 표정을 파악하기 위하여 입력되는 데이터의 변화를 가장 잘 표현해 주는 것으로 널리 알려져 있는 고유 벡터를 이용하며, 기존의 영상을 변형한새로운 영상을 생성하기 위해서 가장 직관적으로 사용할 수 있지만, 광류 영상을 구하는 과정이 시간적으로 많은 비용을 요구하기 때문에, 본 연구에서는 일반 영상에 대한 고유 벡터와 광류 영상에 대한 교유 벡터를 이용하여 고유 벡터 공간 상의 가중치 벡터를 전달하는 방법으로 영상을 처리할 때마다 수행하여야 하는 광류 계산과정을 제거하였다.

This paper presents an efficient face detection algorithm for color images with a complex background. The presented algorithm utilizes the color information and eigenface that is calculated by PCA-LDA (Principle Component Analysis - Linear Discriminant Analysis). The method of using the color information is faster than any other methods. Eigenface includes average information of the whole test faces. Therefore eigenface can decide that the candidate region is a face. The whole process is composed of two steps. First, it finds first face candidates region of skin tone using a color information in image. We can get a size and position of face candidate region. Second, we compare first face candidate region with eigenface, so decide that an image whether include a face or not. The advantages of the proposed approach include that increasing the detection speed by deciding a size and position of first face candidates region. Also, Betting 97% of the detection rate by comparing the eigenfaces calculated in PCA-LDA.

This paper proposed a recognition algorithm of human facial expressions using the PCA and the template matching. Firstly, face image is acquired using the Haar-like feature mask from an input image. The face image is divided into two images. One is the upper image including eye and eyebrow. The other is the lower image including mouth and jaw. The extraction of facial components, such as eye and mouth, begins getting eye image and mouth image. Then an eigenface is produced by the PCA training process with learning images. An eigeneye and an eigenmouth are produced from the eigenface. The eye image is obtained by the template matching the upper image with the eigeneye, and the mouth image is obtained by the template matching the lower image with the eigenmouth. The face recognition uses geometrical properties of the eye and mouth. The simulation results show that the proposed method has superior extraction ratio rather than previous results; the extraction ratio of mouth image is particularly reached to 99%. The face recognition system using the proposed method shows that recognition ratio is greater than 80% about three facial expressions, which are fright, being angered, happiness.

Face is considered to be one of the biometrics in person identification. But Face recognition is a high dimensional pattern recognition problem. Even low-resolution face images generate huge dimensional feature space.

And it compute feature value which multiply by made eigen-value. This study simulations performed using the ORL Database.

In this paper, we propose an efficient method of face retrieval by using PCA(principal component analysis) based features. The coarse-to-fine strategy is adopted to sort the retrieval results in the lower dimensional eigenface space and to rearrange candidates at high ranks in higher dimensional eigenface space. To evaluate similarity between a query face image and class reference image, we utilize the PD (projection distance), MQDF(modified quadratic distance function) and MED(minimum Euclidean distance). The experimental results show that the proposed method which rearrange the retrieval results incrementally by using projection distance is efficient for face image retrieval.

이 논문은 얼굴의 기하학적 특징을 이용한 표정인식 시스템을 제안한다. 먼저 얼굴 인식 시스템으로 Haar-like feature의 특징 마스크를 이용한 방법을 적용하였다 인식된 얼굴은 눈을 포함하고 있는 얼굴 상위 부분과 입을 포함하고 있는 얼굴 하위 부분으로 분리한다. 그래서 얼굴 요소 추출에 용이하게 된다. 얼굴 요소 추출은 PCA를 통한 고유 얼굴의 고유 눈과 고유 입의 템플릿 매칭으로 추출하였다. 얼굴 요소는 눈과 입이 있으며 두 요소의 기하학적 특징을 통하여 표정을 인식한다. 눈과 입의 특징 값은 실험을 통하여 정한 각 표정별 임계 값과 비교하여 표정이 인식된다. 본 논문은 기존의 논문에서 거의 사용하지 않는 눈동자의 비율을 적용하여 기존의 표정인식 알고리즘보다 인식률을 높이는 방향으로 제안되었다. 실험결과 기존의 논문보다 인식률이 개선됨을 확인 할 수 있었다.

1D PCA utilized in the face appearance-based face recognition methods such as eigenface-based face recognition method may lead to less face representative power and more computational cost due to the resulting 1D face appearance data vector of high dimensionality. To resolve such problems of 1D PCA, 2D PCA-based face recognition methods had been developed. However, the face representation model obtained by direct application of 2D PCA to a face image set includes both face common features and face distinctive identity features. Face common features not only prevent face recognizability but also cause more computational cost. In this paper, we first develope a model of a face distinctive identity feature subspace separated from the effects of face common features in the face feature space obtained by application of 2D PCA analysis. Then, a novel robust face recognition based on the face distinctive identity feature subspace model is proposed. The proposed face recognition method based on the face distinctive identity feature subspace shows better performance than the conventional PCA-based methods (1D PCA-based one and 2D PCA-based one) with respect to recognition rate and processing time since it depends only on the face distinctive identity features. This is verified through various experiments using Yale A and IMM face database consisting of face images with various face poses under various illumination conditions.
