Face recognition by computers in recent years has been a topic of intensive studies. In this problem, we witness several challenges: one has to cope with large data sets, solve problems of data extraction, and deal with poor quality of images caused by e.g., poor lighting of the subject. There have been a lot of algorithms and classifiers developed, which are aimed at recognizing faces of individuals...
In this study, we present a new approach to the face retrieval and face classification problem, which exploits available expert's knowledge and introduces a novel way of describing facial features. These features are described by manually assigned weights corresponding to membership grades with respect to the linguistic descriptors such as short, medium, or long. In the series of experiments, we also...
In this study, we present a new approach to the problem of face classification, which relies on the linguistic description of the facial features. In this method, face descriptors are represented through the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and formalized as information granules. Moreover, neural networks are used to construct efficient classifiers. Furthermore, with usage of AHP we realize a transition...
People are highly efficient in recognizing faces. However, it is almost impossible for them to cope with huge datasets of facial images without any computational support. On the other hand, the way people describe the facial features using quite commonly encountered descriptors such as “long nose”, “small eyes” and also allude to their feelings according to a specific person like “seems to be nice”,...
This paper is concerned with an enhanced independent component analysis (ICA) and its application to face recognition. Typically, face representations obtained by ICA involve unsupervised learning and high-order statistics. In this paper, we develop an enhancement of the generic ICA by augmenting this method by the Fisher linear discriminant analysis (LDA); hence, its abbreviation, FICA. The FICA...
