In this paper, a robust method is developed to locate the irises of both eyes. The method doesn't put any restrictions on the background. The method is based on the AdaBoost algorithm for face and eye candidate points detection. Candidate points are tuned such that two candidate points are exactly in the centers of the irises. Mean crossing function and convolution template are proposed to filter out candidate points and select the iris pair. The advantage of using this kind of hybrid method is that AdaBoost is robust to different illumination conditions and backgrounds. The tuning step improves the precision of iris localization while the convolution filter and mean crossing function reliably filter out candidate points and select the iris pair. The proposed structure is evaluated on three public databases, Bern, Yale and BioID. Extensive experimental results verified the robustness and accuracy of the proposed method. Using the Bern database, the performance of the proposed algorithm is also compared with some of the existing methods.

In this paper, we propose an algorithm for memory optimization to apply deep learning to PC. The proposed algorithm minimizes the memory and computation processing time by reducing the amount of computation processing and data required in the conventional deep learning structure in a general PC. The algorithm proposed in this paper consists of three steps: a convolution layer configuration process using a random filter with discriminating power, a data reduction process using PCA, and a CNN structure creation using SVM. The learning process is not necessary in the convolution layer construction process using the discriminating random filter, thereby shortening the learning time of the overall deep learning. PCA reduces the amount of memory and computation throughput. The creation of the CNN structure using SVM maximizes the effect of reducing the amount of memory and computational throughput required. In order to evaluate the performance of the proposed algorithm, we experimented with Yale University's Extended Yale B face database. The results show that the algorithm proposed in this paper has a similar performance recognition rate compared with the existing CNN algorithm. And it was confirmed to be excellent. Based on the algorithm proposed in this paper, it is expected that a deep learning algorithm with many data and computation processes can be implemented in a general PC.

In this paper, we propose an algorithm that shortens the learning time by performing individual learning using partitioning the deep learning structure. The proposed algorithm consists of four processes: network classification origin setting process, feature vector extraction process, feature noise removal process, and class classification process. First, in the process of setting the network classification starting point, the division starting point of the network structure for effective feature vector extraction is set. Second, in the feature vector extraction process, feature vectors are extracted without additional learning using the weights previously learned. Third, in the feature noise removal process, the extracted feature vector is received and the output value of each class is learned to remove noise from the data. Fourth, in the class classification process, the noise-removed feature vector is input to the multi-layer perceptron structure, and the result is output and learned. To evaluate the performance of the proposed algorithm, we experimented with the Extended Yale B face database. As a result of the experiment, in the case of the time required for one-time learning, the proposed algorithm reduced 40.7% based on the existing algorithm. In addition, the number of learning up to the target recognition rate was shortened compared with the existing algorithm. Through the experimental results, it was confirmed that the one-time learning time and the total learning time were reduced and improved over the existing algorithm.
