ABSTRACT

Face (facial) recognition is the identification of humans by the unique characteristics of


their Faces. Face recognition technology is the least intrusive and fastest bio-metric
technology. It works with the most obvious individual identifier the human face. With
increasing security needs and with advancement in technology extracting information has
become much simpler. This project aims on building an application based on face
recognition using different algorithms and comparing the results. The basic purpose being
to identify the face and retrieving information stored in database. It involves two main
steps. First to identify the distinguishing factors in image n storing them and Second step
to compare it with the existing images and returning the data related to that image.

Keywords : Face Recognition, Gray Scale Algorithm, Har cascade algorithm, open cv .

1 Introduction

1.1 Biometrics
Biometrics is used in the process of authentication of a person by verifying or identifying
that a user requesting a network resource is who he, she, or it claims to be, and vice versa.
It uses the property that a human trait associated with a person itself like structure of data
with the incoming data we can verify the identity of a particular person [1]. There are many
types of biometric system like detection and recognition, iris recognition etc., these traits
are used for human identification in surveillance system, criminal identification , face details
etc. By comparing the existing fingerprint recognition.

1.2 Face Recognition


Human beings have recognition capabilities that are unparalleled in the modern computing
era. These are mainly due to the high degree of interconnectivity, adaptive nature, learning
skills and generalization capabilities of the nervous system. The human brain has numerous
highly interconnected biological neurons which, on some specific tasks, can outperform
super computers. A child can accurately identify a face, but for a computer it is a cumbersome
task. Therefore, the main idea is to engineer a system which can emulate what
a child can do. Advancements in computing capability over the past few decades have enabled
comparable recognition capabilities from such engineered systems quite successfully.
Early face recognition algorithms used simple geometric models, but recently the recogni-
tion process has now matured into a science of sophisticated mathematical representations
and matching processes. Major advancements and initiatives have propelled face recognition
technology into the spotlight. Face recognition technology can be used in wide range of
applications. Computers that detect and recognize faces could be applied to a wide variety of
practical applications including criminal identification etc. Face detection and recognition
is used in many places nowadays , verifying websites hosting images and social networking
sites. Face recognition and detection can be achieved using technologies related to computer
science. Features extracted from a face are processed and compared with similarly processed
faces present in the database. If a face is recognized it is known or the system may show
a similar face existing in database else it is unknown. In surveillance system if a unknown
face appears more than one time then it is stored in database for further recognition. These
steps are very useful in criminal identi_cation. In general, face recognition techniques can be
divided into two groups based on the face representation they use appearance-based, which
uses holistic texture features and is applied to either whole-face or specific face image and
feature-based, which uses geometric facial features (mouth, eyebrows, cheeks etc), and geo-
metric relationships between them

Literature Survey

Several algorithms and techniques for face recognition have been developed in the past
by researchers. These are discussed briefly in this section.

A number of current face recognition algorithms use face representations found by unsuper-
vised statistical methods. Typically these methods _and a set of basis images and represent
faces as a linear combination of those images. Principal component analysis (PCA) is a
popular example of such methods. The basis images found by PCA depend only on pairwise
relationships between pixels in the image database. In a task such as face recognition, in
which important information may be contained in the high-order relationships among pixels.

Summary
Face recognition systems are useful in law enforcement and justice solutions by staying
one step ahead of the world's ever-advancing criminals. This includes acclaimed CABS-
computerized arrest and booking system and the child base protection which is a software
solution for global law enforcement agencies to help protect and recover missing and sexually
exploited children, particularly as it relates to child pornography. It is also useful
in Homeland defence which includes everything from preventing terrorists from boarding
aircraft, to protecting critical infrastructure from attack or tampering (e.g. dams, bridges,
water reservoirs, energy plants, etc.), to the identification of known terrorists. It is also
applicable in airport and other transportation terminal security. Face recognition software,
can enhance the effectiveness of immigration and customs personnel. The _nancial services
industry revolves around the concept of security. Face recognition software, can improve
the security of the _nancial services industry, saving the institution time and money both
through a reduction of fraud case and the administration expenses of dealing with forgotten
passwords. Furthermore, biometric-based access control units can safeguard vaults, teller
areas, and safety deposit boxes to protect against theft. The use of biometrics can also
ensure that con_dential information remains con_dential while deterring identity theft, par-
ticularly as it relates to ATM terminals and card-not-present e-commerce transactions. It
allows capturing, archiving, and retrieving identifying characteristics as tattoos, marks, or
scars. It can also analyze scenes from either streaming or archived video, "looking" for
out-of-the-ordinary occurrences, the presence of certain vehicles, speci_c faces, etc. This is
bene_cial and can save signi_cant time and money to those individuals who spend hours,
days, or weeks monitoring video streams (i.e. examining a bank's security in a criminal
investigation).
