Facial Recognition Software Application • ECE 533 Final Project • Steffes, Robert ID: 901-685-8871 • Schultz, Andy ID: 901-692-5217 • 12/12/2003
Topics • Introduction • Work Performed • Testing the Algorithm • Results • Conclusion
Introduction • Advanced image processing algorithm for facial recognition • There are several techniques currently used in facial recognition: • Eigenface • Edge mapping • Line edge mapping • grouping pixels of a face edge map to line segments
Work Performed • Construction of Facial Recognition Algorithm • LEM using sobel filters • Vertical sobel filter • Horizontal sobel filter • Hausdorff distance • Use modified averaging method to compare two images
Testing the Algorithm • Facial images of 15 different subjects were chosen from a database • Three databases to choose from • Varying pose, angle, and expression • Test against different database
Results • Average of all tests run was found to be 79% • No tests were individually less than 73% • Addition of a foreign object (glasses) • Did not seem to increase its likelihood of being mismatched
Conclusion • Promising results • ablity to recognize a particular face from a group in a database • Real-world applications • surveillance or security system • mug shots in law enforcement
