基于改进R-LDA的ANN在人脸识别中的研究

面部识别(FR)系统可以自动识别或校验从数码相机或图像生成设备中获得的人脸图像。为了做到这点,要从所获图像中提取面部特征,并与人脸数据库中的数据进行比对。目前,几乎所有的FR都面临与面部视角相关的障碍,包括光照不足和低分辨率,这些问题使其识别率大为降低。提出了一种经过全新衡量的标准化参数,它基于FR系统,能够提高在某些环境约束下的识别率。该方法基于常见的正规线性判别分析(R-LDA),并且包含了具有突出分类能力的可以提高人脸识别率的人工神经网络(ANN)。改进的R-LDA算法解决了在所有FR中出现的小样本容量(SSS)问题,同时,ANN对于检测人脸的正面图像很有用处。在ORL及FERET人脸数据库上进行了实验,结果表明,与其它的常用方法相比较,取得了更好的识别效果。

Research and Application of Face Recognition with ANN based on Improved R-LDA

Face recognition (FR) system is automatically identifying or verifying a personal face acquired from a digital camera or a image generation device. In order to do this, facial features from the acquired image should be extracted and compared with a facial database. All FRs face an obstacle related to the viewing angle of the face including poor lighting and low resolution. Because of those problems, its recognition rate substantially decreases. In this paper, a newly weighted regularization parameter based FR system which can improve recognition rate under certain environmental constraints is proposed. This approach is based on the conventional regularized linear discriminant analysis (R-LDA) and includes Artificial Neural Network (ANN) which can improve face recognition rate with a prominent classification ability. The revised R-LDA algorithm is attempted to address the Small Sample Size (SSS) problem that encountered in all FRs and the ANN is useful to detect the frontal views of faces. This algorithm has been tested on ORL and FERET database using MATLAB. Its test results shows the better recognition comparing with other methods.
