Facial Recognition Technology: Seema Singh 0809710086 CS-B

This document provides an overview of facial recognition technology. It discusses the history of facial recognition, how the technology works, and the typical components and procedures used. Facial recognition systems work by extracting features from a facial image, comparing those features to stored data, and determining a match or no match. The document also describes different recognition technologies, such as feature-based, holistic, and hybrid matching methods. While the technology has improved and costs have decreased, current algorithms still have some shortcomings related to storage needs, image quality, and sensitivity to lighting and pose.

OUTLINE
 HISTORY
 WHAT IS FACIAL RECOGNITION
TECHNOLOGY?
 COMPONENTS
 PROCEDURE
 RECOGNITION TECHNOLOGIES
 CONCLUSION
 QUESTIONS????????
HISTORY
 A formal method first proposed by Francis
Galton in 1888
 A growing interest since 1990
 Research interest has grown:
 Increasing commercial opportunities
 Availability of better hardware,
allowing real-time applications
FACIAL RECOGNITION
Facial recognition is a form of computer
vision that uses faces to attempt to identify
a person or verify a person’s claimed
identity.
It is based on ability to recognize a face and
then measure the various features of the
face.
Face recognition
 Why face recognition?
 Verification of credit card, personal ID,
passport
 Bank or store security
 Crowd surveillance
 Access control
 Human-computer-interaction
 It requires no physical interaction on behalf
of the user.
COMPONENTS OF FACE
RECOGNITION SYSTEMS
 An automated mechanism that scans and captures
a digital or an analog image of a  living personal
characteristics. (enrollment module)
 Another entity which handles compression,
processing, storage and compression of the
captured data with stored data (database)
  The third interfaces with the application system
( identification module)
Face recognition: Procedure
 Input face image
 Face feature
 extraction
 Feature Matching from face database
 Decision maker
 Output result
FIVE STEP PROCESS (STEP 1)
ACQUIRING THE IMAGE OF AN
INDIVIDUALS FACE
2 WAYS TO AQUIRE IMAGE
1)Digitally scan an existing photograph
2)Acquire a live picture of a subject
FIVE STEP PROCESS (STEP 2)
LOCATE IMAGE OF FACE
-software is used to locate the faces in the
image that has been obtained
FIVE STEP PROCESS (STEP 2)
FIVE STEP PROCESS (STEP 3)
ANALYSIS OF FACIAL IMAGE
-software measures face according to is
peaks and valleys (nodal points)
-focuses on the inner region of the face
known as the “golden triangle”
-nodal points are used to make a face print
FIVE STEP PROCESS (STEP 4)
COMPARISON
-the face print created by the software is
compared to all face prints the system has
stored in its database.
FIVE STEP PROCESS (STEP 5)
MATCH OR NO MATCH
-software decides whether or not any
comparisons from step 4 are close enough
to declare a possible match
FINAL STEP
THE HUMAN OPERATOR
Recognition technology
 Three matching methods:
 Local features Feature-based (structural)

matching: such as the eyes, nose, and


mouth.
 Holistic matching: Use the whole face

region as the raw input.


 Hybrid method: Use both
Recognition technology:
Feature-based matching
 Find the locations of eyes, nose and mouth,
extract the feature points.
 Use the width of head, the distances
between eye corners, angles between eye
corners, etc.
 Try to find invariant features.
Recognition technology:
Holistic matching
 One of the most successful and well-studied
technique.
 An image can be reduced to a lower
dimension
 Classify a new face as the person with the
closest distance.
 Run-time performance is very good.
Recognition technology:
Hybrid method
 use both local features and the whole face
region to recognize a face.
 Useful when gross variations present.
 Arbitrate the use of holistic and local
features.
CONCLUSION

Face recognition technologies have been


associated generally with very costly top secure
applications. Today the core technologies have
evolved and the cost of equipments is going down
due to the integration and the increasing
processing power. Certain applications of face
recognition technology are now cost effective,
reliable and highly accurate. As a result there are
no technological or financial barriers .
Shortcomings of current algorithms:
 Large amounts of storage needed.
 Good quality images needed.
 Sensitive to uneven illumination.
 Affected by pose and head orientation.
 Expensive.
