Hybrid Domain based Face Recognition using DWT, FFT and Compressed CLBPCSCJournals
The characteristics of human body parts and behaviour are measured with biometrics, which are used to authenticate a person. In this paper, we propose Hybrid Domain based Face Recognition using DWT, FFT and Compressed CLBP. The face images are preprocessed to enhance sharpness of images using Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) and Laplacian filter. The Compound Local Binary Pattern (CLBP) is applied on sharpened preprocessed face image to compute magnitude and sign components. The histogram is applied on CLBP components to compress number of features. The Fast Fourier Transformation (FFT) is applied on preprocessed image and compute magnitudes. The histogram features and FFT magnitude features are fused to generate final feature. The Euclidian Distance (ED) is used to compare final features of test face images with data base face images to compute performance parameters. It is observed that the percentage recognition rate is high in the case of proposed algorithm compared to existing algorithms.

An improved double coding local binary pattern algorithm for face recognitioneSAT Journals
Abstract A human face conveys a lot of information about the identity and emotional state of the person. So now a day’s face recognition has become an interesting and challenging problem. Face recognition plays a vital role in many applications such as authenticating a person, system security, verification and identification for law enforcement and personal identification among others. So our research work mainly consists of three parts, namely face representation, feature extraction and classification. The first part, Face representation represents how to model a face and check which algorithms can be used for detection and recognition purpose. In the second phase i.e. feature extraction phase we compute the unique features of the face image. In the classification phase the computed DLBP face image is compared with the images from the database. In our research work, we use Double Coding Local Binary Patterns to evaluate face recognition which concentrate over both the shape and texture information to represent face images for person independent face recognition. The face area is firstly cut into small regions from which Local Binary Patterns (LBP), then we compute histograms to generate LBP image then we compute single oriented mean image from which we again compute histogram values small regions and at last concatenated into a single feature vectors and generate D-LBP image. This feature are used for the representation of the face and to measure similarities between images. Keywords: local binary pattern (LBP), double coding local binary pattern (D-LBP), features extraction, classification, pattern recognition, histogram, feature vector.
Coutinho A Depth Compensation Method For Cross Ratio Based Eye TrackingKalle
Traditional cross-ratio methods (TCR) project a light pattern and use invariant properties of projective geometry to estimate the gaze position. Advantages of the TCR methods include robustness to large head movements and in general requires just a one time per user calibration. However, the accuracy of TCR methods decay significantly for head movements along the camera optical axis, mainly due to the angular difference between the optical and visual axis of the eye. In this paper we propose a depth compensation cross-ratio (DCR) method that improves the accuracy of TCR methods for large head depth variations. Our solution compensates the angular offset using a 2D onscreen vector computed from a simple calibration procedure. The length of the 2D vector, which varies with head distance, is adjusted by a scale factor that is estimated from relative size variations of the corneal reflection pattern. The proposed DCR solution was compared to a TCR method using synthetic and real data from 2 users. An average improvement of 40% was observed with synthetic data, and 8% with the real data.

Improvement of Objective Image Quality Evaluation Applying Colour Differences...CSCJournals
In this work perceived colour distance is employed in a simple and functional way in order to improve full-reference image quality assessment. The difference between colours in the CIELAB colour space is employed as perceived colour distance. This quantity is used to process images that are to be feed to full-reference image quality algorithms. This image processing stage consists of identifying the image regions or pixels that are expected to be perceived identically by a human observer in both the reference image and the image having its quality evaluated. In order to verify the validity of the proposal, objective scores are compared with subjective ones for public available image databases. Despite being a very simple strategy, the proposed approach was effective to improve the agreement between subjective and the SSIM (Structural Similarity Index Metric) objective score.

The physiological biometric trait face images are used to identify a person effectively. In this paper, we
propose compression based face recognition using transform domain features fused at matching level. The
2D images are converted into 1-D vectors using mean to compress number of pixels. The Fast Fourier
Transform (FFT) and Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) are used to extract features. The low and high
frequency coefficients of DWT are concatenated to obtained final DWT features. The performance
parameters are computed by comparing database and test image features of FFT and DWT using Euclidian

Multi modal face recognition using block based curvelet featuresijcga
In this paper, we present multimodal 2D +3D face recognition method using block based curvelet features. The 3D surface of face (Depth Map) is computed from the stereo face images using stereo vision technique. The statistical measures such as mean, standard deviation, variance and entropy are extracted from each block of curvelet subband for both depth and intensity images independently.In order to compute the decision score, the KNN classifier is employed independently for both intensity and depth map. Further, computed decision scoresof intensity and depth map are combined at decision level to improve the face recognition rate. The combination of intensity and depth map is verified experimentally using benchmark face database. The experimental results show that the proposed multimodal method is better than individual modality.
A study of techniques for facial detection and expression classificationIJCSES Journal
Automatic recognition of facial expressions is an important component for human-machine interfaces. It
has lot of attraction in research area since 1990's.Although humans recognize face without effort or
delay, recognition by a machine is still a challenge. Some of its challenges are highly dynamic in their
orientation, lightening, scale, facial expression and occlusion. Applications are in the fields like user
authentication, person identification, video surveillance, information security, data privacy etc. The
various approaches for facial recognition are categorized into two namely holistic based facial
recognition and feature based facial recognition. Holistic based treat the image data as one entity without
isolating different region in the face where as feature based methods identify certain points on the face
such as eyes, nose and mouth etc. In this paper, facial expression recognition is analyzed with various
methods of facial detection,facial feature extraction and classification.
In this paper, an attempt has been made to extract texture
features from facial images using an improved method of
Illumination Invariant Feature Descriptor. The proposed local
ternary Pattern based feature extractor viz., Steady Illumination
Local Ternary Pattern (SIcLTP) has been used to extract texture
features from Indian face database. The similarity matching
between two extracted feature sets has been obtained using Zero
Mean Sum of Squared Differences (ZSSD). The RGB facial images
are first converted into the YIQ colour space to reduce the
redundancy of the RGB images. The result obtained has been
analysed using Receiver Operating Characteristic curve, and is
found to be promising. Finally the results are validated with
standard local binary pattern (LBP) extractor.

Abstract
LDN characterizes both the texture and contrast information of facial components in a compact way, producing a more discriminative code than other available methods. An LDN code is obtained by computing the edge response values in 8 directions at each pixel with the aid of a compass mask. Image analysis and understanding has recently received significant attention, especially during the past several years. At least two reasons can be accounted for this trend: the first is the wide range of commercial and law enforcement applications, and the second is the availability of feasible technologies after nearly 30 years of research. In this paper we propose a novel local feature descriptor, called Local Directional Number Pattern (LDN), for face analysis, i.e., face and expression recognition. LDN characterizes both the texture and contrast information of facial components in a compact way, producing a more discriminative code than other available methods.
Facial Expression Detection for video sequences using local feature extractio...sipij
Facial expression image analysis can either be in the form of
static image analysis or dynamic temporal 3D image or video analysis.
The former involves static images taken on an individual at a specific
point in time and is in 2-dimensional format. The latter involves dynamic textures extraction of video sequences extended in a temporal
domain. Dynamic texture analysis involves short term facial expression
movements in 3D in a temporal or spatial domain. Two feature extraction algorithms are used in 3D facial expression analysis namely holistic
and local algorithms. Holistic algorithms analyze the whole face whilst
the local algorithms analyze a facial image in small components namely
nose, mouth, cheek and forehead. The paper uses a popular local feature
extraction algorithm called LBP-TOP, dynamic image features based on
video sequences in a temporal domain. Volume Local Binary Patterns
combine texture, motion and appearance. VLBP and LBP-TOP outperformed other approaches by including local facial feature extraction
algorithms which are resistant to gray-scale modifications and computation. It is also crucial to note that these emotions being natural reactions, recognition of feature selection and edge detection from the video
sequences can increase accuracy and reduce the error rate. This can be
achieved by removing unimportant information from the facial images.
The results showed better percentage recognition rate by using local facial extraction algorithms like local binary patterns and local directional
patterns than holistic algorithms like GLCM and Linear Discriminant
Analysis. The study proposes local binary pattern variant LBP-TOP,
local directional patterns and support vector machines aided by genetic
algorithms for feature selection. The study was based on Facial Expressions and Emotions (FEED) and CK+ image sources.
Face Detection for identification of people in Images of Internetijceronline
One method for searching the internet faces in images is proposed by using digital processing topological with descriptors. Location in real time with the development of a database that stores addresses of internet downloaded images, in which the search is done by text, but by finding facial image, is achieved. Face recognition in images of Internet has proved to be a difficult task, because the images vary considerably depending on viewpoint, illumination, expression, pose, accessories, etc. The descriptors for general information: containing low-level descriptors. Developments on face recognition systems have improved significantly since the first system; image analysis is a topic on which much emphasis is being given in order to identify parameters, visual features in the image that provide environment data that it is represented in the image, but without the intervention of a person. In this project raises its realization using the method of viola and jones as face descriptor. We can distinguish even different parts of the face such as eyes, eyebrows, nose and mouth.One method for searching faces in image taken from internet intends to use digital processing using topological descriptors. It is located the face in real time.

The biometrics are used to identify a person effectively. In this paper, we propose optimised Face
recognition system based on log transformation and combination of face image features vectors. The face
images are preprocessed using Gaussian filter to enhance the quality of an image. The log transformation
is applied on enhanced image to generate features. The feature vectors of many images of a single person
image are converted into single vector using average arithmetic addition. The Euclidian distance(ED) is
used to compare test image feature vector with database feature vectors to identify a person. It is
experimented that, the performance of proposed algorithm is better compared to existing algorithms.
Selective local binary pattern with convolutional neural network for facial ...IJECEIAES
Variation in images in terms of head pose and illumination is a challenge in facial expression recognition. This research presents a hybrid approach that combines the conventional and deep learning, to improve facial expression recognition performance and aims to solve the challenge. We propose a selective local binary pattern (SLBP) method to obtain a more stable image representation fed to the learning process in convolutional neural network (CNN). In the preprocessing stage, we use adaptive gamma transformation to reduce illumination variability. The proposed SLBP selects the discriminant features in facial images with head pose variation using the median-based standard deviation of local binary pattern images. We experimented on the Karolinska directed emotional faces (KDEF) dataset containing thousands of images with variations in head pose and illumination and Japanese female facial expression (JAFFE) dataset containing seven facial expressions of Japanese females’ frontal faces. The experiments show that the proposed method is superior compared to the other related approaches with an accuracy of 92.21% on KDEF dataset and 94.28% on JAFFE dataset.

Pose and Illumination in Face Recognition Using Enhanced Gabor LBP & PCA IJMER
This paper presents the face recognition based on Enhanced GABOR LBP and PCA. Some
of the challenges in face recognition are occlusion, pose and illumination .In this paper, we are more
focused on varying pose and illumination. We divided this algorithm into five stages. First stage finds
the fiducial points on face using Gabor filter bank as this filter is well known for illumination
compensation. Second stage applies the morphological techniques for reduce useless fiducial points.
Third stage applies the LBP on reduced fiducial points with neighborhood pixel for improving the pose
variation. Forth stage uses PCA to detect the best variance points which are necessary to characterize
the training images. The last recognition stage includes finding the Euclidean norm of the feature
weight vectors with the test weight vector. In this project, we used 20 images of 20 different persons
from ORL database for training. For testing, we used images with varying illumination, pose and
occluded images of the same training

Experimental Investigation of a Household Refrigerator Using Evaporative-Cool...inventy
The objective of this paper was to investigate experimentally the effect of Evaporative-cooled condenser in a household refrigerator. The experiment was done using HCF134a as the refrigerant. The performance of the household refrigerator with air-cooled and Evaporative-cooled condenser was compared for different load conditions. The results indicate that the refrigerator performance had improved when evaporative-cooled condenser was used instead of air-cooled condenser on all load conditions. Evaporativecooled condenser reduced the energy consumption when compared with the air-cooled condenser. There was also an enhancement in coefficient of performance (COP) when evaporative-cooled condenser was used instead of air-cooled condenser. The Evaporative cooled heat exchanger was designed and the system was modified by retrofitting it, instead of the conventional air-cooled condenser by making drop wise condensation using water and forced circulation over the condenser. From the experimental analysis it is observed that the COP of evaporative cooled system increased by 13.44% compared to that of air cooled system. So the overall efficiency and refrigerating effect is increased. In minimum constructional, maintenance and running cost, the system is much useful for domestic purpose. This study also revealed that combining a evaporative cooled system along with conventional water cooled system under the condition that the defrost water obtained from the freezer is used for drop wise condensation over condenser and water cooled condensation of the condenser at the bottom using remaining defrost water would reduce the power consumption, work done and hence further increase in refrigerating effect of the system. The study has shown that such a system is technically feasible and economically viable

Comparative Study of the Quality of Life, Quality of Work Life and Organisati...inventy
People’s lives are increasingly centred on work; they spend at least one-third of their time within the organisations that employ them. Investigating the factors that interfere with employees’ well-being and the organisational environment is becoming an increasing concern in organisations. This article identifies the criteria of the quality of life (QoL), quality of working life (QWL) and organisational climate instruments to point out their similarities. For bibliographic construction and data research, articles were sought in national and international journals, books and dissertations/articles in SciELO, Science Direct, Medline and Pub Med databases. The results show direct relationships amongst QoL, QWL and organisational climate instruments. The relationship between QoL and QWL instruments is based on fair compensation, social interaction, organisational communication, working conditions and functional capacity. QWL and organisational climate instruments are related through social interaction and interfaces. QoL and organisational climate instruments are related based on social interaction, organisational communication, and work conditions.
A Study of Automated Decision Making Systemsinventy
The decision making process of many operations are dependent on analysing very large data sets, previous decisions and their results. The information generated from the large data sets are used as an input for making decisions. Since the decisions to be taken in day to day operations are expanding, the time taken for manual decision making is also expanding. In order to reduce the time, cost and to increase the efficiency and accuracy, which are the most important things for customer satisfaction, many organisations are adopting the automated decision making systems. This paper is about the technologies used for automated decision making systems and the areas in which automated decisions systems works more efficiently and accurately.
Crystallization of L-Glutamic Acid: Mechanism of Heterogeneous β -Form Nuclea...inventy
The mechanism of heterogeneous nucleation of β-form L-glutamic acid was deeply investigated in cooling crystallization. The present study found that the β-form crystals were epitaxially grown on the α-form crystals and they were preferably crystallized on the (011) and (001) surfaces instead of the (111) surfaces of α- form crystals. This result was explained via the molecular simulation. The molecular simulation indicated that the different surfaces of α-form crystals provided different functional groups, resulting in different sites for the heterogeneous nucleation of β-form crystals. Here, the functional group were COO- , C=O and O-H on the (011) and (001) surfaces of α-form crystals, respectively, while it was the NH3 + on the (111) surfaces of α-form crystals. As such, the degree of lattice matching (E) between the β-form crystals and the various surfaces of α- form crystal was distinguished, where the degree of lattice matching (E) between the β-form crystals and the (011), (001) and (111) surfaces of α-form crystal were estimated as 5.30, 5.25 and 2.39, respectively, implying that the (011) and (001) surfaces of α-form crystal were more favorable to generate the heterogeneous nucleation of β-form crystals than the (111) surfaces of α-form crystal
Evaluation of Damage by the Reliability of the Traction Test on Polymer Test ...inventy
In recent decades, polymers have undergone a remarkable historical development and their use has been greatly imposed by gradually dethroning most of the secular materials. These polymer materials have always distinguished themselves by their simple shaping and inexpensive price, their versatility, lightness, and chemical stability but despite their massive use in everyday life as well as in advanced technologies. Generally, these materials still not understood which requires a thorough knowledge of their chemical, physical, rheological and mechanical properties. This paper, we study the mechanical behavior of an amorphous polymer: Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene “ABS” by means of uniaxial tensile testing on pierced test pieces with different notch lengths ranging between 1 to 14mm.The proposed approach consists in analyzing the evolution of the global geometry of the obtained strain curves by taking into account the zones and characteristic points of these curves as well as the effect of the damage on the mechanical behavior of the polymer ABS, in order to visualize the evolution of the damage by a static model
Application of Kennelly’model of Running Performances to Elite Endurance Runn...inventy
: The model of Kennelly between distance (Dlim) and exhaustion time (tlim) has been applied to the individual performances of 19 elite endurance runners (World-record holders and Olympic winners) from P. Nurmi (1920-1924) to M. Farah (2012) whose individual best performances on several different distances are known. Kennelly’s model (Dlim = k tlim ) can describe the individual performances of elite runners with a high accuracy (errors lower than 2 %). There is a linear relationship between parameters k and exponents of the elite runners and the extreme values correspond to S. Coe (k = 15.8; = 0.851) and E. Zatopek (k = 6.57; = 0.984). Exponent can be considered as a dimensionless index of aerobic endurance which is close to 1 in the best endurance runners. If it is assumed than maximal aerobic speed can be maintained 7 min in elite endurance runners, exponent is equal to the normalized critical speed (critical speed/maximal aerobic speed) computed from exhaustion times equal to 3 and 12.5 min in these runners.
Development and Application of a Failure Monitoring System by Using the Vibra...inventy
In this project, a failure monitoring system is developed by using the vibration and location information of balises in railway signaling. A lot of field equipment in railway are loosening and broken in time period so that they need maintenance due to the vibrations that occur due to high speed trains traffic and railway vehicles impact. Among the field equipment, balises have very important role of communication in terms of transmitting information to trains. In this scope, it is aimed to make maintenance works more efficient, have no delayed trains, detect previously failure location and intervene in failure timely, by detecting and controlling balise cases such as loosening, out of place and the data consistency error that happens because of balise physical state. In this project, the communication is provided with I2C, Modbus RTU (Remote Terminal Unit) and RS485 standards by using Arduino Uno cards and MPU6050 IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit) sensors in laboratory. Each used sensors are in slave mode and computer interface designed with C# is in master mode. Fault situations in the system are checked instant by the interface. (it is assumed to mount the IMU sensor and the Arduino circuit on the balise) it is seen that the interface responds to the sensor movements instant and the system works well in the end of test processes.
The Management of Protected Areas in Serengeti Ecosystem: A Case Study of Iko...inventy
The study assessed the management of protected areas in Serengeti ecosystem using the case of IGGRs. Specifically, the study aimed at identifying the strategies used for natural resources management; examining the impacts of those strategies; examining the hindrances of the identified strategies; and lastly, examining the methods for scaling up the performance of strategies used for natural resources in the study area. The study involved two villages among 31 villages bordering IGGRs where in each village; at least 5% of the households were sampled. Both Primary data and secondary data were collected and analyzed both manually and computer by using SPSS software. The study revealed that, study population ranked IGGRs performance on protection of natural resources, especially on conserving wildlife for future generation and in reducing poaching to be good(53.3%). In addition, the relationship with IGGRs was said to be considerable good (46.7%). In the aspect of reducing poaching, the findings show that poaching has been reduced by 96.2% from 2009 to 2012. Furthermore, 81.4% of respondents said they use different strategies to control loss of natural resources which in turn has considerably improved the relationship between protected areas and the surrounding communities in some of the aspects. Despite of above successes, the study findings has revealed a number of challenges that hinders the full attainment of conservation objectives. Among the challenges are loss of life and properties (86.4%), shortage of water for livestock (68.9%) since water sources such as Grumeti and Rubana rivers are within protected area while the adjacent local communities do not have a free access to those water sources. Other challenges especially on the IGGRs management include insufficient fund base, working facilities and inadequate staffs. Based on the above findings, the study concluded that the strategies used for natural resources management of protected areas in Serengeti ecosystem is fairly sustainable and need functional participatory approaches of local people and other stakeholders in order to bring about a collaborative natural resources management network in the ecosystem. Furthermore, based on the findings above, equity in benefit sharing accrued from natural resource management in protected areas, more financial support to IGGRs and local community, the use of non-lethal deterrents for crop protection, integration of croplivestock production systems, adoption of land use plans as a solution to land conflicts, strengthens of community based conservation (CBC), adoption of modern information technology such as geographical information system (GIS) and remote sensing are recommended.

Removal of Chromium (VI) From Aqueous Solutions Using Discarded Solanum Tuber...inventy
Industrial polluting effluents containing heavy metals are of serious environmental concern in India. Chromium is frequently used in industries like electroplating, metal finishing, cooling towers, dyes, paints, anodizing and leather tanning and is found as traces in effluents finding their way to natural water bodies causing hazardous toxicity to the health of humans, animals and aquatic lives directly or indirectly. Many methods for the removal of Chromium such as chemical reduction, precipitation, ion exchange, electrochemical reduction, evaporation, reverse osmosis and adsorption using activated carbon etc. have been reported but all being expensive and complicated to operate. Experimental practices reveal that adsorption by agricultural and horticultural wastes are quite simple, inexpensive and efficient method. Agra is famous for Potato farming, a lot of discarded potato waste from cold storages is thrown along road side drains causing solid waste generated which either creates solid waste disposal problem or otherwise it finds way to Yamuna river resulting high BOD and posing a serious threat to the aquatic environment. For developing countries like India adsorption studies using discarded potato (Solanum tuberosum) waste from cold storages (DPWC) a solid waste as low cost adsorbent for Chromium removal was dual beneficial i.e., an ideal solution to these solid wastes disposal problem of Agra and removal of Chromium from tannery effluents and thereby saving aquatic life from Chromium contamination in Yamuna river. Keeping this in view batch experiments were designed to study the feasibility of discarded potato waste from cold storages to remove chromium (VI) from the aqueous solutions. During the study various affecting parameters, such as pH, adsorbent does, initial concentration, temperature, contact time, adsorbent grain size and start up agitation speed were optimized as 5.0, 10-20 g/l, 50 mg/l, 250C, 135 minutes, average size and 80 rpm respectively on chromium removal efficiency. Various Isotherms such as Langmuir, Freundlich, Tempkin also fitted suitably and various corresponding constants determined from these Isotherms favor and support the adsorption. Thermodynamic constants ∆G, ∆H and ∆S were found to be 0.267 KJ/mole, 0.288 KJ/mole and 0.0013 KJ/mole respectively.

Transient flow analysis for horizontal axial upper-wind turbineinventy
This study is to carry out a transient flow field analysis on the condition that the wind turbine is working to generate turbine, the wind turbine operating conditions change over time, Purpose of this study is try to find out the rule from the wind turbine changing over time . In transient analysis, the wind velocity on inlet boundary and rotation speed in the rotor field will change over time, and an analytical process is provided that can be used for future reference. At present, the wind turbine model is designed on the concept of upwind horizontal axis type. The computer engineering software GH Bladed is used to obtain the relationship between the rotor velocity and the wind turbine.

From the analytical result, the relationship between the stress distribution in the blades and the rotor velocity is got to be used as a reference for future wind turbine structural optimization.
Choice of Numerical Integration Method for Wind Time History Analysis of Tall...inventy
Wind tunnel tests are being performed routinely around the world for designing tall buildings but the advent of powerful computational tools will make time-history analysis for wind more common in near future. As the duration of wind storms ranges from tens of minutes to hours while earthquake durations are typically less than a three to four minutes, the choice of a time step size (Δt) for wind studies needs to be much larger both to reduce the computational time and to save disk space. As the error in any numerical solution of the equation of motion is dependent on step size (Δt), careful investigations on the choice of numerical integration methods for wind analyses are necessary. From a wide variety of integration methods available, it was decided to investigate three methods that seem appropriate for 3D-time history analysis of tall buildings for wind. These are modal time history analysis, the Hilber-Hughes-Taylor (HHT) method or α-method with α=- 0.1, and the Newmark method with β=0.25 and γ=0.5 ( i.e., trapezoidal rule). SAP2000, a common structural analysis software tool, and a 64-story structure are used to conduct all the analyses in this paper. A boundary layer wind tunnel (BLWT) pressure time history measured at 120 locations around the building envelope of a similar structure is used for the analyses. Analyses performed with both the HHT and Newmark-method considering P-delta effects show that second order effects have a considerable impact on both displacement and acceleration response. This result shows that it is necessary to account P-delta effect for wind analysis of tall buildings. As the direct integration time history analysis required very large computation times and very large computer physical memory for a wind duration of hours, a modal analysis with reduced stiffness is considered as a good alternative. For that purpose, a non-linear static analysis of the structure with a load combination of 1.0D + 1.0L is performed in SAP2000 and the reduced stiffness of the structure after the analysis is used to conduct an eigenvalue analysis to extract the mode shapes and frequencies of this structure. Then the first 20- modes are used to perform a modal time history analysis for wind load. The result shows that the responses from modal analysis with “20-mode (reduced stiffness)” are comparable with that from the P-Δ analyses of Newmark-method
Impacts of Demand Side Management on System Reliability Evaluationinventy
Electricity demand in Saudi Arabia is steadily increasing as electrical loads grows at a rate of about 7% per year, this represents a high rate by all standards, and largely due to population growth, as well as due to government subsidies which may lead to prices much lower than actual production cost. This growth represents a challenge that requires Saudi Electricity Company (SEC) to invest huge amounts of money every year, for the construction of additional generation capacity along with the reinforcement of transmission network to meet the consumption growth.Also the demand varies frequently throughout the day, causing a waste of a large part of the energy. SEC believes the optimum solution lies in altering the load shape in order to have a better balance between customer’s consumption and SEC’s generation, This paper describes the method for improving the power system reliability by shifting the portion of peak load to off-peak periods This load management scheme can be achieved by lifting the generation during off peak periods and utilizing the stored energy during peak periods. A hybrid set up involving solar and wind energy along with batteries can also be used to store energy and utilize it during peak periods.
Reliability Evaluation of Riyadh System Incorporating Renewable Generationinventy
In this paper, the experience of Saudi Electricity Company (SEC) in analyzing the generation adequacy for Year 2013 is presented. This analysis is conducted by calculating several reliability indices for Riyadh system hourly load during all four seasonal periods. The reliability indices are gauged against the international utility practice. SEC also plans to introduce renewable energy into the network in order to secure the environmental standards and reduce fuel costs of conventional generation. Thus, the reliability improvement due to different integration levels of Solar and Wind generating sources has also been investigated. The capacity value provided by these variable renewable energy sources (VERs) to reliably meet the system load has been calculated using effective load carrying capability (ELCC) technique with a loss of load expectancy metric.

ABSTRACT— The main reason for the decrease in changes in appearance of the user is due to the factors
such as ageing, beard growth, sun tan. Heterogeneous face recognition involves matching two face images from
alternate imaging aesthetic forms, such as an infrared image to a photograph or a sketch to a photograph. A
generic HFR framework is proposed in which both probe and gallery images are represented in terms of
nonlinear similarities to a collection of prototype face images. The prototype subjects have an image in each
modality (probe and gallery), and the similarity between an image and prototype images are measured. The
features of this nonlinear prototype are projected into a linear discriminant subspace which increases the
accuracy of this nonlinear prototype representation. In HFR framework we introduce Random sampling to
control the small sample size problem which arises as a challenge. The excellence of the proposed approach is
demonstrated in the experiment result as prototype random subspace. Previous studies have shown that the
accuracy of Face Recognition Systems (FRSs) decreases with the time elapsed between enrollments and testing.
So we have proposed Gabor filter along with SVM for Feature Extraction and Robustness.
KEY WORDS— nonlinear similarity, local descriptors, ambiences, Random subspaces, Mugshot, infrared
image, discriminant analysis, sketches, SVM, Gabor Filter.
I. INTRODUCTION
Face Recognition in recent days involves matching between heterogeneous image ambiences. When
different scenarios can provide plausible solutions for difficult scenarios then it is coined as Heterogeneous face
recognition. Heterogeneous face recognition involves matching between imaging ambiences like visible light
photographs in gallery dataset to Probe images that include NIR, thermal, sketches and mugshot.When only a
particular image ambience is available for querying a large database like visible light photographs called
Mugshots, the face image captured during night time like infrared imaging cannot be useful to suspect a
criminal act. This led to the stimulus behind heterogeneous face recognition. Though there is remarkable
development in Face recognition systems, the Commercial off-The Shelf (COTS) face recognition systems were
not able to handle HFR Scenarios.
In this paper we propose a collective way to Heterogeneous Face Recognition [1] which,
a) Make recognition in the probe and gallery ambiences using multiple feature descriptors,
b) Attain Accuracy on different HFR Scenarios,
c) Does not demand any feature descriptor to changes in image prototype
II. RELATED WORK
Zhang Wei, Xiaogang Wang, Xiaooua Tang proposed a robust algorithm called 45ultiscale Markov
Random Field(MRF) to synthesize a face sketch and face photo taken in different lighting condition and
different pose. They achieved robustness to lighting and pose variations in three steps. First, they introduced
shape priors to specific facial components to reduce distortions and artifacts created due to variations in pose
and lighting. Second, to find candidates to the patches of sketch to a given photo, they produced metrics and
patch descriptors that are vivacious to lighting variations. Third, they used gradient compatibility and intensity
compatibility which are smoothing term measures to match neighboring sketch patches on the MRF network
[2].
Brenden Klare, Zhifeng Li and Anil K Jain have addressed the problem of matching forensic sketch
and mugshot images in a gallery. They introduced Local Feature-based Descriminant analysis (LFDA) to solve
2. Digital Image Technique using Gabor Filter and SVM in Heterogeneous Face Recognition
46
this problem. Both sketches and photos were represented using 46ultiscale Local Binary Patterns, Histograms
and Gradient location in LFDA. The dataset contained 10,159 images of forensic sketches in relation to mugshot
gallery images [3].
Brendan F klare and Anil K Jain proposed a novel method of heterogeneous face recognition that uses
a common feature based representation for both NIR images as well as VIS images. A robust approach to face
recognition with unconstrained illumination is to match near infrared face images to visible light face images.
They performed linear discriminant analysis on a collection of random subspaces to learn discriminant
projections. They matched NIR and VIS images by (i) using sparse representation classification, (ii) directly
using the random subspace projections [4].
Juwei Lu, Konstantinos N Plataniotis, Anastasios N Venetsanopoulos introduced SVM, kernel PCS,
GDA for pattern regression and classification tasks. The small sample size problem which was a drawback in
most Face recognition system (FRS) was eliminated by the algorithm called Kernel Direct Local Discriminant
Analysis (K-D-LDA) [5].
Kathryn Bonnen, Brendan Klare, Anil Jain later introduced Component Based Representation for Face
Recognition to obtain accuracy over occluded face images and enhance robust to various facial poses. They first
extracted facial landmarks, then they cropped images and obtained feature vector and represented the facial
components using Local Binary Pattern [6].
III. PRELIMINARY PROCESS OF AN IMAGE AND ITS REPRESENTATION
Feature based representation is the initial representation of a face image. The human visual processing
system uses local feature descriptors for the proposed representation of the face.
A. Normalization of an image geometrically:
Geometric Normalization is the first step to normalize the images of the heterogeneous face using feature
descriptors in regard to the location of the eyes. In this step, rotation, scale effectiveness, variations in
translations are reduced [1].
We normalized face image geometrically by a) rotating the set of angle between eyes by planar rotation to
0 degrees, b) ascending the distance between the two pupils to 75 pixels of the image, c) cropping the images
with eyes placed horizontally centered and vertically placed at row 115 of total height of 250 pixels and width of
200 pixels.
B. Filtering of Image:
We use three different filters to filter the face images. These filters reduce the appearance variations
between image realm and intensity variations within an image domain thus enable denoising in the image. The
filters are elucidated below:
1) Difference of Gaussian (DoG):
To improve the performance of face recognition for varying illumination we use DoG which is a feature
enhancement algorithm. It subtracts blurred image from original less blurred image. It is commonly used in
detecting of blob in SIFT. Its main job is to sharp the edges of an image.
Let us consider, „a‟ to be Gaussian filter image of width σ1 and „b‟ to be Gaussian filter image of width σ2
(σ2>σ1)
Then DoG = b-a. Here we have taken σ1=2 and σ2=4.
2) Center Surround Divisive Normalization (CSDN):
The value of each pixel is divided by the mean pixel value. The mean pixel value is taken from s x s
neighborhood surrounding the pixel. Here we take s=16.
3) Gaussian:
This is the smoothing filter that removes noise from a high spatial frequency. The width used here was
σ=2.
C. Local Descriptor Representation:
After normalization and filtration, we extract local feature descriptors across the face from uniformly
distributed patches. SIFT feature descriptor is widely used in face recognition for effective matching of sketch to
VIS and NIR to VIS. LBP features have a successful history in face recognition which is applied to several HFR
matching scenarios[1].
SIFT and LBP features can describe the face images and its structures even if there is a minor external
variation. An image patch is described in each feature descriptor as a d dimensional vector which is normalized

to a sum of one. The face image is divided into a size of 32 x 32 set of N overlapping patches. Each patch
overlaps its neighbors both horizontally and vertically by 16 pixels. So a total of 154 total patches are got from a
face image of size 200 x 250. Multiscale local binary patterns are used in place of LBP which is a variant of
LBP descriptor. MLBP over here has radii r= {1, 3, 5, 7}.
Let us consider, I to be the normalized and filtered face image, fF,D(I,a) as local feature descriptor
extracted from image I at patch a, 1 ≤ a ≤N using image filter F and feature descriptor D, Fd as DoG image
filter, Fc as CSDN image filter, Fg as Gaussian image filter, Dm as MLBP descriptors, Ds as SIFT descriptors.
Then we arrive to the result by using,
fF.D(I)=[fF.D(I,1)T
,…,f F.D(I,N)T
]T
, (1)
which is a combination of all N feature descriptors. Therefore by using three filters and two descriptors,
we have six representations for face image I, fFd,Dm(I), fFc,Dm(I), fFg,Dm(I), fFd,Ds(I), fFc,Ds(I), fFg,Ds(I).
IV. ARCHITECTURAL VIEW OF PROPOSED SYSTEM
In this Framework, We obtain a Visible Light Photograph and Thermal Photograph from the Database.
There is separate database for Visible light photographs and Thermal photographs which has image of one
person taken in different environment. Those images contain noise which has to be preprocessed. Preprocessing
is done using Difference of Gaussian (DoG) filter, CSDN, Gaussian filter for better denoised image. The
Denoised image uses SIFT (Scale Invariant Feature Transformation) for extracting local Features. SIFT extracts
interesting points from the image which provides feature description [1]. From training image SIFT description
is extracted to identify the object while trying to locate the object in a test image containing many other objects.
For a dependable recognition feature has to be extracted from the training image which has to be detectable even
under changes in illuminations, noise, and image scale. Those interesting points usually lie as object edges on
high-contrast regions of the image.
We define Local Binary Pattern for each image for differentiating uniform and non-uniform patterns in an
image. The idea behind is to calculate LBP-code for every pixel of an image [3]. The incidence of each possible
pattern in the image is conserved. The label which is also known as histogram of these patterns forms a feature
vector which is a representation for the texture of the image. To measure the similarity between the images, the
distance between the histograms is calculated.
After LBP we use Gabor Filter and SVM for feature extraction and Robustness. Gabor filter is used for
edge detection which is a linear filter. Frequency and orientation representations of Gabor filters are much as
same to those of the recognition of eye of a human, and they have been found to be particularly appropriate for
texture representation and discrimination. SVMs can efficiently perform a non-linear classification which maps
the inputs in a high dimensional feature spaces called to be kernel trick. The images matched are from probe and
gallery dataset and the results are analysed.

V. ALGORITHM USED
A. Gabor Filter:
There is a set of Gabor filters with different frequencies and orientations which is used for feature
extraction. A 2D Gabor filter is a Gaussian kernel function that is modulated using sinusoidal plane wave.
The impulse response is defined using sinusoidal wave multiplied by a Gaussian function. Due to
multiplication convolution property according to Convolution theorem, the Fourier transform of Gabor filter‟s
impulse response is the convolution of the Fourier transform of the harmonic function and Gaussian function.
Gabor filter has both real and imaginary component which represents orthogonal directions.
Complex form of Component
g(x,y;λ,θ,ψ,σ,γ)= exp
Real
g(x,y;λ,θ,ψ,σ,γ)= exp
Imaginary
g(x,y;λ,θ,ψ,σ,γ)= exp
where
x΄= x cos θ + y sin θ
y΄= - x sin θ+ y cos θ
here,
λ – wavelength of the sinusoidal factor,
θ – orientation of the normal to the parallel stripes of a Gabor
function,
ψ – phase offset,
σ – sigma/standard deviation of the Gaussian envelope,
γ – spatial aspect ratio
B. Support Vector Machine (SVM):
Support Vector Machines are used in Machine Learning which is associated with supervised learning that
analyse data and recognize patterns for classification and regression analyses. SVM can perform non linear
classification very efficiently by mapping inputs into high dimensional feature space called Kernel Trick.
Every linear dot product is replaced with non linear kernel function for non linear classification to fit the
maximum margin hyper plane in the transformed featured space. Common Kernels used in SVM are as follows:
a) Polynomial (homogeneous): k (xi , xj) = (xi . xj)d
b) Polynomial (inhomogeneous): k (xi , xj) = (xi . xj+1)d
c) Gaussian radial basis function:
k (xi , xj) = exp(-γ || xi - xj ||2
), for γ > 0, parametrized to γ = 1/2 σ2
VI. SIMULATION AND RESULTS
A. Input Image:
We take two images as input for matching. One image is RGB image or visual image from Gallery dataset
and the other one is Thermal Image from probe dataset.

B. Preprocessing of Image:
Preprocessing is the process of removing unwanted noise from the image. We use CSDN, Gaussian and
DoG along with SIFT to remove noise and enhance the image. SIFT can handle images in various pose and
angles.

C. LBP of the Image:
We use Local Binary Pattern algorithm (LBP) along with CSDN, Gaussian and DoG to divide facial
components into small regions from which histograms are extracted and concatenated into a single, spatially
enhanced feature histogram.

D. Gabor and SVM:
We propose a novel approach for feature extraction and robustness called G-SVM (Gabor –Support
Vector Machine). Gabor helps in edge detection where as SVM helps in Classification of images. The image
which is matched gives us an output of image matched else it gives us an output of image mismatched.

existing systems.

VII. CONCLUSION
We have presented a hybrid framework for face recognition based on local binary pattern, multiple
Gabor filter and SVM. Designing a good filter and classifier is a crucial step for any successful face recognition
system. An average recognition rate of (96.28%) is achieved under environmental variations. This means that
our approach achieves a high recognition rate compared to other approaches in published literature. Using
multiple Gabor filters rendered the method robust to face variations because each filter has specific property to
extract. In addition using generalization property of bagging classifier increased the recognition rate in presence
of face class variations. SVM has supported in classification and retrieval. We believe that face recognition
under varying conditions is still an interesting area of research, and we anticipate that there will be many further
advances in this area.
