Advances in face recognition have come from considering various aspects of this specialized perception problem. Earlier methods treated face recognition as a standard pattern recognition problem; later methods focused more on the representation aspect, after realizing its uniqueness using domain knowledge; more recent methods have been concerned with both representation and recognition, so a robust system with good generalization capability can be built by adopting state-of-the-art techniques from learning, computer vision, and pattern recognition. A face recognition system based on recent method which concerned with both representation and recognition using artificial neural networks is presented. This paper initially provides the overview of the proposed face recognition system, and explains the methodology used. It then evaluates the performance of the system by applying two (2) photometric normalization techniques: histogram equalization and homomorphic filtering, and comparing with Euclidean Distance, and Normalized Correlation classifiers. The system produces promising results for face verification and face recognition.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
