Face recognition is a biometric technology used to identify individuals based on facial feature information. Previous studies of face recognition used features including the eye, mouth and nose; however, there have been few studies on the effects of using other facial components, such as the eyebrows and chin, on recognition performance. We measured the recognition accuracy affected by these facial components, and compared the differences between computer-based and human-based facial recognition methods. This research is novel in the following four ways compared to previous works. First, we measured the effect of components such as the eyebrows and chin. And the accuracy of computer-based face recognition was compared to human-based face recognition according to facial components. Second, for computer-based recognition, facial components were automatically detected using the Adaboost algorithm and active appearance model (AAM), and user authentication was achieved with the face recognition algorithm based on principal component analysis (PCA). Third, we experimentally proved that the number of facial features (when including eyebrows, eye, nose, mouth, and chin) had a greater impact on the accuracy of human-based face recognition, but consistent inclusion of some feature such as chin area had more influence on the accuracy of computer-based face recognition because a computer uses the pixel values of facial images in classifying faces. Fourth, we experimentally proved that the eyebrow feature enhanced the accuracy of computer-based face recognition. However, the problem of occlusion by hair should be solved in order to use the eyebrow feature for face recognition.

Recently, technologies are being developed to recognize and authenticate users using bioinformatics to solve information security issues. Biometric information includes face, fingerprint, iris, voice, and vein. Among them, face recognition technology occupies a large part. Face recognition technology is applied in various fields. For example, it can be used for identity verification, such as a personal identification card, passport, credit card, security system, and personnel data. In addition, it can be used for security, including crime suspect search, unsafe zone monitoring, vehicle tracking crime.In this thesis, we conducted a study to recognize faces by detecting the areas of the face through a computer webcam. The purpose of this study was to contribute to the improvement in the accuracy of Recognition of Face Based on CNN Algorithms. For this purpose, We used data files provided by github to build a face recognition model. We also created data using CNN algorithms, which are widely used for image recognition. Various photos were learned by CNN algorithm. The study found that the accuracy of face recognition based on CNN algorithms was 77%. Based on the results of the study, We carried out recognition of the face according to the distance. Research findings may be useful if face recognition is required in a variety of situations. Research based on this study is also expected to improve the accuracy of face recognition.

A 3D model based approach for a face representation and recognition algorithm has been investigated as a robust solution for pose and illumination variation. Since a generative 3D face model consists of a large number of vertices, a 3D model based face recognition system is generally inefficient in computation time and complexity. In this paper, we propose a novel 3D face representation algorithm based on a pixel to vertex map (PVM) to optimize the number of vertices. We explore shape and texture coefficient vectors of the 3D model by fitting it to an input face using inverse compositional image alignment (ICIA) to evaluate face recognition performance. Experimental results show that the proposed face representation and recognition algorithm is efficient in computation time while maintaining reasonable accuracy.

얼굴 인식 방법 중 인기 있는 고유얼굴 기반 얼굴 인식 방법은 훈련 얼굴 이미지 세트에 대해 PCA를 적용하여 얻어진 고유얼굴을 이용한다. 따라서 훈련 얼굴 이미지들의 조명들과 다른 조명의 환경들에서는 신뢰성 있는 성능을 얻기 어렵다. 본 논문에서는 조명의 영향을 배제한 조명분리 고유얼굴 기반 얼굴 인식 방법을 제안한다. 제안된 방법은 얼굴 모델 이미지 세트의 고유얼굴 공간을 구성된 얼굴 조명 부분공간에 대해 직교 분해하여 얻은 조명분리 고유얼굴들을 이용한다. 실험을 통해서 조명분리 고유얼굴에 기반하는 제안된 얼굴 인식 방법이 기존 고유얼굴 기반 얼굴 인식 방법보다 조명의 영향에 보다 강인함을 확인하였다.

In this paper, we propose a technique of the recognition of partial face. Most of the research is concentrated on the recognition of whole face Since part of the face area in an image can be damaged or overlapped, face recognition based on partial face is required. PCA and LDA technique is applied to the recognition of partial face. Also, a new method to combine the results of the recognition of parts of the face.

Many recent events, such as terrorist attacks, exposed defects in most sophisticated security systems. Therefore, it is necessary to improve security data systems based on the body or behavioral characteristics, often called biometrics. Together with the growing interest in the development of human and computer interface and biometric identification, human face recognition has become an active research area. Face recognition appears to offer several advantages over other biometric methods. Nowadays, Principal Component Analysis (PCA) has been widely adopted for the face recognition algorithm. Yet still, PCA has limitations such as poor discriminatory power and large computational load. This paper proposes a novel algorithm for face recognition using a mid band frequency component of partial information which is used for PCA representation. Because the human face has even symmetry, half of a face is sufficient for face recognition. This partial information saves storage and computation time. In comparison with the traditional use of PCA, the proposed method gives better recognition accuracy and discriminatory power. Furthermore, the proposed method reduces the computational load and storage significantly.

Since the application of smart tourism based on face recognition can utilize unique facial data and image features, it can be beneficially utilized for service companies that require accurate user authentication and service companies that prioritize security. However, in terms of sharing information by government organizations and private companies, preemptive measures such as the introduction of security systems should be taken.

고유얼굴 기반 얼굴 인식 방법과 같은 얼굴 형태 기반 얼굴 인식 방법에 사용되는 1차원 PCA는 고차원의 얼굴 형태 데이터 벡터들의 처리로 인하여 부정확한 얼굴 표현과 과도한 계산량을 초래할 수 있다. 이에 개선 방안의 하나로 2차원 PCA 기반 얼굴 인식 방법이 개발되었다. 그러나 단순한 2차원 PCA 적용으로 얻어진 얼굴 표현 모델에는 얼굴 공통 특성 성분과 개인 식별 특성 성분이 모두 포함된다. 얼굴 공통 특성 성분은 오히려 개인 식별 능력을 방해할 수가 있고 또한 인식 처리 시간의 증가를 초래한다. 본 논문에서는 2차원 PCA 적용으로 얻어진 얼굴 특성 공간에서 얼굴 공통 특성 영향이 분리된 얼굴 고유 식별 특성 부분공간 모델을 개발하고 개발된 모델에 기반한 새로운 강인한 얼굴 인식 방법을 제안한다. 제안한 얼굴 고유식별 특성 부분공간 모델 기반 얼굴 인식 방법은 얼굴 고유 식별 특성에만 주로 의존하기 때문에 기존 1차원 PCA 및 2차원 PCA 기반 얼굴 인식 방법보다 얼굴 인식 성능 및 인식 속도에 대해서 더 우수한 성능을 보인다. 이는 다양한 조명 조건하에 다양한 얼굴 자세를 갖는 얼굴 이미지들로 구성된 Yale A 및 IMM 얼굴 데이터베이스를 이용한 실험을 통해 확인하였다.

There are many ways to perform face recognition. The first step of face recognition is the face detection step. If the face is not found in the first step, the face recognition fails. Face detection research has many difficulties because it can be varied according to face size change, left and right rotation and up and down rotation, side face and front face, facial expression, and light condition. In this study, facial features are extracted and the extracted features are geometrically reconstructed in order to improve face recognition rate in extracted face region. Also, it is aimed to adjust face angle using reconstructed facial feature vector, and to improve recognition rate for each face angle. In the recognition attempt using the result after the geometric reconstruction, both the up and down and the left and right facial angles have improved recognition performance.

For many years, researchers in face description area have been representing and recognizing faces based on different methods that include subspace discriminant analysis, statistical learning and non-statistics based approach etc. But still automatic face recognition remains an interesting but challenging problem. This paper presents a novel and efficient face image representation method based on Optimized Local Ternary Pattern (OLTP) texture features. The face image is divided into several regions from which the OLTP texture feature distributions are extracted and concatenated into a feature vector that can act as face descriptor. The recognition is performed using nearest neighbor classification method with Chi-square distance as a similarity measure. Extensive experimental results on Yale B, ORL and AR face databases show that OLTP consistently performs much better than other well recognized texture models for face recognition.
