Face Recognition Method Based on Residual Convolution Neural Network

Abstract

With the advancement of information technology and societal growth, social security has become more important than ever. Face recognition, as compared to other traditional recognition methods like fingerprint recognition, palm recognition, etc, has the benefit that it is contact less, and now it is becoming one among the most prominent technologies in development. Although there are numerous recognition systems that use DNNs in the field of facial expression recognition, their accuracy and practicality are still insufficient for real-world applications. A facial recognition approach based on Resnet 152 v2 has been proposed in this work. In this paper, a residual learning approach is presented to make the training of networks that are far deeper than previously employed networks easier. The proposed method, employs the AT&T face dataset, and supposing that normalization and segmentation are complete, we concentrate on the subtask of person verification and recognition, demonstrating performance using a testing database comprising illumination, pose, expression and occlusion variations. SoftMax is the activation function that has been used, which adjusts the output sum up to one allowing it to be understood as probabilities. Then, the model would generate a judgment depending on which option has a strong likelihood. This system employs Adam as an optimizer to control the learning rate through training and categorical cross entropy as its loss function. The proposed approach has a 97 percent face recognition accuracy on AT&T dataset, showing its efficacy after a significant number of analyses and experimental verification.

Comparative study of machine learning algorithms for face recognition

“…In 2022, a facial recognition approach based on Resnet-152v2 has been proposed by Arshi and Virendra in several steps [32]. Firstly, authors performed the grayscale images of dataset and converted images from pgm format into jpg format.…”

Comparison of Two Face Recognition Machine Learning Models

“…The face, a person's most recognizable biometric trait [2], is frequently employed in banking [3], biometric log-in, credit card verification, time attendance [4], video surveillance, public security [1], forensic identification [5], border surveillance [6], and military [7], etc. Today, it is considered one of the most important technologies that are in development [8]. Pose fluctuation, blurriness, low resolution, illumination, facial expression, viewing angle, and lighting circumstances are all obstacles in face recognition [9].…”
