We propose in this letter two new subspace learning methods, called nearest feature space analysis (NFSA) and discriminant nearest feature space analysis (DNFSA), for pattern classification. While many subspace learning algorithms have been proposed in recent years, most of them apply the conventional nearest neighbor (NN) metric to derive the subspace and may not effectively characterize the geometrical...
In this work, we proposed a novel authentication system based on facial features. The proposed method is based on PCA and LDA for feature extraction, these extracted features are combined using wavelet fusion. In this work we use neural networks to classify extracted features of faces. The proposed method consists of six steps: i) Extraction of images from the database, ii) Preprocessing, iii) Feature...
Illumination and expression variation are the major challenges in the face recognition. This paper presents comparative analysis of two normalization techniques namely, DCT in Log domain and 2-point normalization method.. The DCT is employed to compensate for illumination variations in the logarithm domain. Since illumination variation lies mainly in the low frequency band, an appropriate number of...
Wavelets are widely used to extract the texture features for pattern recognition applications including biometric authentication. This can be attributed to the discriminating capability of wavelet features and the availability of fast algorithms for implementing discrete wavelet transform (DWT). In most of the wavelet based palmprint applications, distribution of energies in space-frequency domain...
The important issue in multi-class classification on support vector machines is the decision rule, which determines whether an input pattern belongs to a predicted class. To enhance the accuracy of multi-class classification, this study proposes a multi-weighted majority voting algorithm of support vector machine (SVM), and applies it to overcome complex facial security application. The proposed algorithm...
We designed and implemented a web-accessible database entitled MIRaCLe DB (Mammography Image reading for Radiologists' and Computers' Learning Database) that composes a dynamic repository for machines and radiologists training and evaluation. Up to now, 204 mammograms have been collected from 196 patients; they have been classified according to the type of the lesions, the type of the biopsy finding,...
Recognition techniques for printed and handwritten text in scanned documents are significantly different. In this paper we address the problem of identifying each type. We can list at least four steps: digitalization, preprocessing, feature extraction and decision or classification. A new aspect of our approach is the use of data mining techniques on the decision step. A new set of features extracted...
This work aims at investigating the influence of luminance information and environment illumination on skin classification. We explore Bayesian approaches to perform automatic classification of human skin pixels on digital images, using color features as input. Two probabilistic skin color models were built on different color spaces (RGB, normalized RG, HSI, HS, YCbCr and CbCr) and tested in a task...
Facial symmetry can be regarded as a not absolute but useful and natural feature. In this paper, this symmetrical feature is applied to two-dimensional linear discriminant analysis (2DLDA) for face image feature extraction, furthermore, the distance measure (DM) and Frobenius-norm measure(FM) are also developed to classify faces. Symmetrical 2DLDA (S2DLDA) used pure statistical mathematical technique...
In this paper, we introduce a face recognition approach based on the contourlet transform and support vector machine, which takes technological advantages of both support vector machine and the contourlet transform for feature extraction. The contributions of this paper include the following aspects: (1) support vector machine is successfully applied to face recognition by using the contourlet transform...
Our goal is to establish a simple baseline method for human identification based on body shape and gait. This baseline recognition method provides a lower bound against which to evaluate more complicated procedures. We present a viewpoint-dependent technique based on template matching of body silhouettes. Cyclic gait analysis is performed to extract key frames from a test sequence. These frames are...
