Semi-Local Structure Patterns for Robust Face Detection

ABSTRACT

In many image processing and computer vision problems,


including face detection, local structure patterns such as local binary patterns (LBP) and
modified census transform (MCT) have been adopted in widespread applications due to their
robustness against illumination changes. However, being reliant on the local differences between
neighboring pixels, they are inevitably sensitive to noise. To overcome the problem of noise-
vulnerability of the conventional local structure patterns, we propose semi-local
structure patterns (SLSP), a novel feature extraction method based on local region-based
differences. The SLSP is robust to illumination variations, distortion, and sparse noise because it
encodes the relative sizes of the central region with locally neighboring regions into a binary
code. The principle of SLSP leads noise-robust expansions of LBP and MCT feature extraction
frameworks. In a statistical analysis, we find that the proposed methods transform a substantial
amount of random noise patterns in face images into more meaningful uniform patterns. The
empirical results on the MIT + CMU dataset and FDDB (face detection dataset and benchmark)
show that the proposed semi-local patterns applied to LBP and MCT feature extraction
frameworks outperform the conventional LBP and MCT features in Ada Boost-
based face detectors, with much higher detection rates.
Existing System
In this Existing System, This recognition problem is made difficult by the great
variability in head rotation and tilt, lighting intensity and angle, facial expression, aging, etc.
Some other attempts at facial recognition by machine have allowed for little or no variability in
these quantities. Yet the method of correlation (or pattern matching) of unprocessed optical data,
which is often used by some researchers, is certain to fail in cases where the variability is great.
In particular, the correlation is very low between two pictures of the same person with two
different head rotations.
Disadvantage
Where face recognition does not work well include poor lighting, sunglasses, long hair,
or other objects partially covering the subject’s face, and low resolution images. Another serious
disadvantage is that many systems are less effective if facial expressions vary. Even a big smile
can render the system less effective.
Proposed System
In this Proposed System, we propose a face descriptor, Local Directional Number Pattern
(LDN), for robust face recognition that encodes the structural information and the intensity
variations of the face’s texture. LDN encodes the structure of a local neighborhood by analyzing
its directional information. Consequently, we compute the edge responses in the neighborhood,
in eight different directions with a compass mask. Then, from all the directions, we choose the
top positive and negative directions to produce a meaningful descriptor for different textures
with similar structural patterns. This approach allows us to distinguish intensity changes.
