This paper reconstructs local region of a facial expression image from extracted feature points of facial expression image using FCM(Fuzzy C-Meang) clustering algorithm with Gabor wavelets. The feature extraction in a face is two steps. In the first step, we accomplish the edge extraction of main components of face using average value of 2-D Gabor wavelets coefficient histogram of image and in the next step, extract final feature points from the extracted edge information using FCM clustering algorithm. This study presents that the principal components of facial expression images can be reconstructed with only a few feature points extracted from FCM clustering algorithm. It can also be applied to objects recognition as well as facial expressions recognition.

In this paper, we propose a face recognition system using AAM and Gabor feature vectors. EBGM, which is prominent among face recognition algorithms employing Gabor feature vectors, requires localization of facial feature points where Gabor feature vectors are extracted. However, localization of facial feature points employed in EBGM is based on Gator jet similarity and is sensitive to initial points. Wrong localization of facial feature points affects face recognition rate. AAM is known to be successfully applied to localization of facial feature points. In this paper, we propose a facial feature point localization method which first roughly estimate facial feature points using AAM and refine facial feature points using Gabor jet similarity-based localization method with initial points set by the facial feature points estimated from AAM, and propose a face recognition system based on the proposed localization method. It is verified through experiments that the proposed face recognition system using the combined localization performs better than the conventional face recognition system using the Gabor similarity-based localization only like EBGM.

Fingerprint recognition is a task to find a matching pattern in a database for a specific persons fingerprint. To accomplish this task, preprocessing, classification, and matching steps are taken for a large-scale fingerprint database but only the matching step is taken without classification for a small-scale database. The primary matching method is based on minutiae (ridge ending point, bifurcation). This matching method, however, requires a very complex computation to extract minutiae and match minutiae-to-minutiae accurately due to translation, rotation, nonlinear deformation of fingerprint and occurrence of spurious minutiae. In addition, this method requires a laborious preprocessing step in order to improve the quality of fingerprint Images. This paper proposes a new simple method to eliminate these problems. With this method, Gabor variance is used instead of minutiae for fingerprint recognition. The Gabor variance is computed from Gabor features that result from filtering a fingerprint image through Gabor filter. In this paper, this method is described and its test result is shown, demonstrating the potential of using this new method for fingerprint recognition.

This Paper extracts the edge of main components of face with Gator wavelets transformation in facial expression images. FCM(Fuzzy C-Means) clustering algorithm then extracts the representative feature points of low dimensionality from the edge extracted in neutral face. The feature-points of the neutral face is used as a template to extract the feature-points of facial expression images. To match point to Point feature points on an expression face against each feature point on a neutral face, it consists of two steps using a dynamic linking model, which are called the coarse mapping and the fine mapping. This paper presents an automatic extraction of feature-points by dynamic linking model based on Gabor wavelets and fuzzy C-means(FCM) algorithm. The result of this study was applied to extract features automatically in facial expression recognition based on dimension[1].

본 논문에서는 대표적인 특징점 추출 알고리즘인 SURF (Speeded Up Robust Features)와 얼굴인식에서 널리 쓰이는 Gabor 기술어를 이용한 얼굴 인식 방법을 소개한다. SURF 기반 영상인식 방법은 특징점을 찾고 해당 특징점에서 기술어를 추출한 후, 정합을 수행한다. 본 논문에서는 SURF 를 통해 추출한 특징점에서 Gabor 웨이블릿 변환을 사용해 기술어를 추출하는 얼굴인식 방법을 제안한다. 잘 알려진 ORL 데이터베이스에서의 실험에서 제안한 방법이 기존 SURF 기반의 얼굴 인식 방법에 비해 더 높은 얼굴 인식 성능을 보여줄 뿐 아니라 정합시간을 포함한 처리 속도면에서도 더 우수한 성능을 보였다. 이러한 실험 결과를 통하여 제안하는 방법이 SURF 보다 얼굴 인식에 적합함을 확인할 수 있었다.

기존의 지문인식은 입력 지문이 데이터베이스 내에 있는 특정인의 지문과 일치하는지 여부를 확인하는 것으로, 이를 위해 몇 단계의 전처리 과정과 분류 및 매칭을 하는데 매우 복잡한 계산이 필요하고 많은 시간이 소요되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 Gabor 필터를 이용하여 획득한 Gabor 특징(Feature)을 바로 지문인식에 이용하여 높은 인식률과 빠른 지문인식을 할 수 있는 새로운 지문인식 알고리즘을 제안한다. Gabor 필터를 이용하면 전처리 과정을 생략할 수 있고, 지문표시의 길이가 일정하여 대단위 지문 데이터베이스를 구성하기가 용이하다. 실험은 특징점에 기초한 기존의 지문인식과 비교 분석한다.

Face recognition has been actively studied and developed in various fields. In recent years, interest point extraction algorithms mainly used for object recognition were being applied to face recognition. The SURF(Speeded Up Robust Features) algorithm was used in this paper which was one of typical interest point extraction algorithms. Generally, the interest points extracted from human faces are less distinctive than the interest points extracted from objects due to the similar shapes of human faces. Thus, the accuracy of the face recognition using SURF tends to be low. In order to improve it, we propose a face recognition algorithm which performs interest point extraction by SURF and the Gabor wavelet transform to extract descriptors from the interest points. In the result, the proposed method shows around 23% better recognition accuracy than SURF-based conventional methods.

The accuracy of a real facial recognition system can be varied according to the accuracy of the eye detection algorithm when we design and implement a semi-automatic facial recognition algorithm depending on the eye position of a database. In this paper, a fully automatic facial recognition algorithm is proposed such that Gabor and LBP features are extracted from fiducial points of a face graph which was created by using fiducial points based on the eyes, nose, mouth and border lines of a face, fitted on the face image. In this algorithm, the recognition performance could be increased because a face graph can be fitted on a face image automatically and fiducial points based LPB features are implemented with the basic Gabor features. The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can be used in real-time recognition for more than 1,000 faces and produce good recognition performance for each data set.
