The aim of this paper is the improvement of identification performance and the reduction of computational quantities in the face recognition system based on SIFT-Grid. Firstly, we propose a composition method of integrated template by removing similar SIFT keypoints and blending different keypoints in variety training images of one face class. The integrated template is made up of computation of similarity matrix and threshold-based histogram from keypoints in a same sub-region which divided by applying SIFT-Grid of training images. Secondly, we propose a computation method of similarity for identify of test image from composed integrated templates efficiently. The computation of similarity is performed that a test image to compare one-on-one with the integrated template of each face class. Then, a similarity score and a threshold-voting score calculates according to each sub-region. In the experimental results of face recognition tasks, the proposed methods is founded to be more accurate than both two other methods based on SIFT-Grid, also the computational quantities are reduce.

The construction of smart communities is a new method and important measure to ensure the security of residential areas. In order to solve the problem of low accuracy in face recognition caused by distorting facial features due to monitoring camera angles and other external factors, this paper proposes the following optimization strategies in designing a face recognition network: firstly, a global graph convolution module is designed to encode facial features as graph nodes, and a multi-scale feature enhancement residual module is designed to extract facial keypoint features in conjunction with the global graph convolution module. Secondly, after obtaining facial keypoints, they are constructed as a directed graph structure, and graph attention mechanisms are used to enhance the representation power of graph features. Finally, tensor computations are performed on the graph features of two faces, and the aggregated features are extracted and discriminated by a fully connected layer to determine whether the individuals' identities are the same. Through various experimental tests, the network designed in this paper achieves an AUC index of 85.65% for facial keypoint localization on the 300W public dataset and 88.92% on a self-built dataset. In terms of face recognition accuracy, the proposed network achieves an accuracy of 83.41% on the IBUG public dataset and 96.74% on a self-built dataset. Experimental results demonstrate that the network designed in this paper exhibits high detection and recognition accuracy for faces in surveillance videos.

There are unrestricted conditions on the driver's face inside the vehicle, such as changes in lighting, partial occlusion and various changes in the driver's condition. In this paper, we propose a face identification system in an unrestricted vehicle environment. The proposed method uses a near-infrared (NIR) camera to minimize the changes in facial images that occur according to the illumination changes inside and outside the vehicle. In order to process a face exposed to extreme light, the normal face image is changed to a simulated overexposed image using mean and variance for training. Thus, facial classifiers are simultaneously generated under both normal and extreme illumination conditions. Our method identifies a face by detecting facial landmarks and aggregating the confidence score of each landmark for the final decision. In particular, the performance improvement is the highest in the class where the driver wears glasses or sunglasses, owing to the robustness to partial occlusions by recognizing each landmark. We can recognize the driver by using the scores of remaining visible landmarks. We also propose a novel robust rejection and a new evaluation method, which considers the relations between registered and unregistered drivers. The experimental results on our dataset, PolyU and ORL datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

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.

This paper introduces a smart mirror technology that recognizes a person's facial expressions through image classification among several artificial intelligence technologies and presents them in a mirror. 5 types of facial expression images are trained through artificial intelligence. When someone looks at the smart mirror, the mirror recognizes my expression and shows the recognized result in the mirror. The dataset fer2013 provided by kaggle used the faces of several people to be separated by facial expressions. For image classification, the network structure is trained using convolution neural network (CNN). The face is recognized and presented on the screen in the smart mirror with the embedded board such as Raspberry Pi4.

Recently, with the development of ICT technology such as cloud and mobile, image utilization through social networks is increasing rapidly. These images contain personal information, and personal information leakage accidents may occur. As a result, studies are underway to recognize and mask personal information in images. However, optical character recognition, which recognizes personal information in images, varies greatly depending on brightness, contrast, and distortion, and Korean recognition is insufficient. Therefore, in this paper, we design and implement a personal information identification and masking system based on image recognition through deep learning application using CNN algorithm based on optical character recognition method. Also, the proposed system and optical character recognition compares and evaluates the recognition rate of personal information on the same image and measures the face recognition rate of the proposed system. Test results show that the recognition rate of personal information in the proposed system is 32.7% higher than that of optical character recognition and the face recognition rate is 86.6%.

일반적으로 얼굴 인식 방법에는 템플릿 기반 통계적 기법들이 사용되고 있다. 이 방법들은 2차원 영상을 고차원 벡터로 표현하여 특징을 추출한다. 그러나 많은 이미지와 비디오 데이터는 본래 텐서로 표현된다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 벡터 표현보다는 직접적인 텐서 표현으로 특징들을 추출하기 위해 텐서 얼굴의 다선형 주성분 분석(MPCA: Multilinear Principal Component Analysis) 기법을 이용한 동영상 기반 얼굴인식에 대해 다룬다. 마지막으로, u-로봇 테스트베드 환경에서 구축된 얼굴 인식 데이터 베이스를 이용하여 제안된 방법과 기존 방법들의 인식처리시간과 성능을 비교한다.

Robust face recognition under various illumination environments is difficult to achieve. For face recognition robust to illumination changes, usually face images are normalized with respect to illumination as a preprocessing step before face recognition. The anisotropic smoothing-based illumination normalization method, known to be one of the best illumination normalization methods, cannot handle casting shadows. In this paper, we present an efficient illumination normalization method for face recognition. The proposed illumination normalization method separates the effect of illumination from eigenfaces and constructs an illumination-separated eigenface subspace. Then, an incoming face image is projected into the subspace and the obtained projected face image is rendered so that illumination effects including casting shadows are reduced as much as possible. Application to real face images shows the proposed illumination normalization method.
