How To Write Thesis Proposal On Face Recognition
Introduction
Real time face recognition is part of the field of biometrics. Biometrics is the ability for a computer
to recognize a human through a unique physical trait. Face recognition provides the capability for
the computer to recognize a human by facial characteristics.
A facial recognition device is a device that takes an image or a video of a human face and compares
it to other image faces in a database. The structure, shape and proportions of the faces are
compared during the face recognition steps. In addition, distance between the eyes, nose, mouth
and jaw, upper outlines of the eye sockets, the sides of the mouth, location of the nose and eyes,
and the area surrounding the check bones are also compared [1].
Problem Statement
Nowadays security system for home, office or other secure places is very important. So, if we make
an easy system to recognize people whom are not involved with that institution or home then the face
recognition system will identify unknown person and alert the authority.
This system will be also used for authentication known people. Suppose If will apply this system on
home security then this system will try to match faces of all persons whom are stored in database and
send success message to the authority. If it can’t match faces with database’s data then it will send
data unsuccessful message to the authority.
The main purpose of this system will be to identify known and unknown people by using a camera
and the system which I am going to make. It will be the main work of the face recognition technology.
Literature review
Many face recognition software have been implemented during the past decade. Each software
uses different methods and different algorithm than other software.
Some facial recognition software extracts the face features from the input image to identify
the face [1].
Other algorithms normalize a set of face images and then compress the face data, the saves
the data in one image that can be used for facial recognition. The input image is compared
with the face data [2].
New method for face recognition is being used which is the three-dimensional facial
recognition. In this method, a 3-D sensor is used to capture information about the shape of
the face so that only distinctive features of the face, such as the contour of eye sockets, nose
and chin, are used for face recognition [1].
Another new technique in facial recognition is called skin texture analysis. This technique
uses the visual details of the skin, as captured in standard digital or scanned images and then
turns the unique lines, patterns, and spots apparent in a person’s skin into a mathematical
space.
Research design
It will be a fully automated system, user friendly, turnkey mobile and live-video surveillance facial
recognition system. This software generates an alert whenever a face is recognized; and this occurs
when the match of the input face with a face in the database is above a user defined probability.
The advantage of the system is the availability to work in low resolution environments enabling real-
world performance [1].
Below a flowchart which shows the basic features of the face recognition system.
Methods and Sources
1) Filtering
After taking the initial picture, the median filter technique (The median filter is a non-linear digital
filtering technique, often used to remove noise from an image or signal. Such
noise reduction is a typical pre-processing step to improve the results of later processing)
is applied on the image. The purpose of this technique is to eliminate the noise that will appear during
the capturing, and to enhance the edging procedure. So when using other kind of filter it will affect
the edging and an error will appear.
2) Resizing
After filtering the image, it is resized from 2048 x 1536 x 3 (resolution of the camera) to 512 x 384 x
3, because it easier to MATLAB to deal with small image and the processor will be faster.
3) Color Mode conversion and Skin Detection
The initial image taken from the camera is in RGB color mode which is not good to analyze, because
the luminous and the ceruminous are mixed together and then the removing of the important
parameter will be difficult, so the picture will be converted to (HSV) that facilitate the process of
taking the important parameters.
HSV: stand for Hue, Saturation and value and also it is called HSB for brightness [4].
4) Morphological Operations
After doing all previous procedure, the image will be processed using morphological operations. It
has 3 steps:
a) Dilation
b) Filling
c) Erosion
**Above steps are the basic steps of image processing for the first algorithm which is based on an
image.
