This document presents a face recognition algorithm based on Fourier Mellin Transform. It begins with an introduction to face recognition and challenges of illumination and pose variations. It then describes extracting illumination invariant features by computing depth maps from input images using a shape from shading algorithm. Fourier Mellin Transform is applied to the depth maps to extract features. Experiments on the ORL database showed the approach achieved 100% recognition with 4 training images and 95.7% recognition with 3 training images, demonstrating robustness to illumination and pose variations.
Face Recognition based on STWT and DTCWT using two dimensional Q-shift Filters IJERA Editor
The Biometrics is used to recognize a person effectively compared to traditional methods of identification. In this paper, we propose a Face recognition based on Single Tree Wavelet Transform (STWT) and Dual Tree Complex Wavelet transform (DTCWT). The Face Images are preprocessed to enhance quality of the image and resize. DTCWT and STWT are applied on face images to extract features. The Euclidian distance is used to compare features of database image with test face images to compute performance parameters. The performance of STWT is compared with DTCWT. It is observed that the DTCWT gives better results compared to STWT technique.
HVDLP : HORIZONTAL VERTICAL DIAGONAL LOCAL PATTERN BASED FACE RECOGNITION sipij
Face image is an efficient biometric trait to recognize human beings without expecting any co-operation from a person. In this paper, we propose HVDLP: Horizontal Vertical Diagonal Local Pattern based face recognition using Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) and Local Binary Pattern (LBP). The face images of different sizes are converted into uniform size of 108×990and color images are converted to gray scale images in pre-processing. The Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) is applied on pre-processed images and LL band is obtained with the size of 54×45. The Novel concept of HVDLP is introduced in the proposed method to enhance the performance. The HVDLP is applied on 9×9 sub matrix of LL band to consider HVDLP coefficients. The local Binary Pattern (LBP) is applied on HVDLP of LL band. The final features are generated by using Guided filters on HVDLP and LBP matrices. The Euclidean Distance (ED) is used to compare final features of face database and test images to compute the performance parameters.

matching phase, we use Euclidean distance to match a face image. We perform the Linear and diagonal
directional operator method on face database ORL. We get accuracy 95.3 %. LD-BGP method also works
on different type image like illuminated and expression variation image.
Face skin color based recognition using local spectral and gray scale featureseSAT Journals
Abstract Human face conveys more information about identity of person. Human face recognition is one of the most challenging problem and it can be used in many applications at different security places in airports, defense and banking sectors etc.In this work used colored features obtained from color segmentation because in real time scenario color provides the more information than gray scale image but it has a drawback. To overcome this drawback gray scale feature extracted from co-occurrence matrix of an image and for efficient face recognition of human Face under different illumination conditions spectral features can be extracted from face texture. These three feature vectors concatenated into a single feature vector and applied Lenc-Kral matching technique to measure similarity between the database and query image, the similarity is high then face is recognized.

This paper presents a new local facial feature descriptor, Local Gray Code Pattern (LGCP), for facial expression recognition in contrast to widely adopted Local Binary pattern. Local Gray Code Pattern (LGCP) characterizes both the texture and contrast information of facial components. The LGCP descriptor is obtained using local gray color intensity differences from a local 3x3 pixels area weighted by their corresponding TF (term frequency). I have used extended Cohn-Kanade expression (CK+) dataset and Japanese Female Facial Expression (JAFFE) dataset with a Multiclass Support Vector Machine (LIBSVM) to evaluate proposed method. The proposed method is performed on six and seven basic expression classes in both person dependent and independent environment. According to extensive experimental results with prototypic expressions on static images, proposed method has achieved the highest recognition rate, as compared to other existing appearance-based feature descriptors LPQ, LBP, LBPU2, LBPRI, and LBPRIU2.

FPGA ARCHITECTURE FOR FACIAL-FEATURES AND COMPONENTS EXTRACTIONijcseit
Several methods for detecting the face and extracting the facial features and components exist in the
literature. These methods are different in their complexity, performance, type and nature of the images and
the targeted application. The facial features and components are used in security applications, robotics and
assistance for the disabled. We use these components and characteristics to determine the state of alertness
and fatigue for medical diagnoses. In this work we use plain color background images whose color is
different from the skin and which contain a single face. We are interested in FPGA implementation of this
application. This implementation must meet two constraints, which are the execution time and the FPGA
resources. We have selected and have associated a face detection algorithm based on the skin detection

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.
Unimodal Multi-Feature Fusion and one-dimensional Hidden Markov Models for Lo...IJECEIAES
The objective of low-resolution face recognition is to identify faces from small size or poor quality images with varying pose, illumination, expression, etc. In this work, we propose a robust low face recognition technique based on one-dimensional Hidden Markov Models. Features of each facial image are extracted using three steps: firstly, both Gabor filters and Histogram of Oriented Gradients (HOG) descriptor are calculated. Secondly, the size of these features is reduced using the Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) method in order to remove redundant information. Finally, the reduced features are combined using Canonical Correlation Analysis (CCA) method. Unlike existing techniques using HMMs, in which authors consider each state to represent one facial region (eyes, nose, mouth, etc), the proposed system employs 1D-HMMs without any prior knowledge about the localization of interest regions in the facial image. Performance of the proposed method will be measured using the AR database.

Trabalho apresentado durante o 2º semestre de 2010 para a disciplina "Teoria da Comunicação" ministrada pela Profª Drª Tânia Callegaro. Autor: Cristiano Neves de Souza Pereira.
In this paper, we present an automatic application of 3D face recognition system using geodesic distance in Riemannian geometry. We consider, in this approach, the three dimensional face images as residing in Riemannian manifold and we compute the geodesic distance using the Jacobi iterations as a solution of the Eikonal equation. The problem of solving the Eikonal equation, unstructured simplified meshes of 3D face surface, such as tetrahedral and triangles are important for accurately modeling material interfaces and curved domains, which are approximations to curved surfaces in R3. In the classifying steps, we use: Neural Networks (NN), K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN) and Support Vector Machines (SVM). To test this method and evaluate its performance, a simulation series of experiments were performed on 3D Shape REtrieval Contest 2008 database (SHREC2008).
Most face recognition algorithms are generally capable to achieve a high level of accuracy when
the image is acquired under wellcontrolled conditions. The face should be still during the acquisition
process; otherwise, the resulted image would be blur and hard for recognition. Enforcing persons to stand
still during the process is impractical; extremely likely that recognition should be performed on a blurred
image. It is important to understand the relation between the image blur and the recognition accuracy. The
ORL Database was used in the study. All images were in PGM format of 92 × 112 pixels from forty
different persons, ten images per person. Those images were randomly divided into training and testing
datasets with 50-50 ratio. Singular value decomposition was used to extract the features. The images in
the testing datasets were artificially blurred to represent a linear motion, and recognition was performed.
The blurred images were also filtered using various methods. The accuracy levels of the recognition on the
basis of the blurred faces and filtered faces were compared. The performed numerical study suggests that
at its best, the image improvement processes are capable to improve the recognition accuracy level by
less than five percent.
EV-SIFT - An Extended Scale Invariant Face Recognition for Plastic Surgery Fa...IJECEIAES
This paper presents a new technique called Entropy based SIFT (EV-SIFT) for accurate face recognition after the plastic surgery. The corresponding feature extracts the key points and volume of the scale-space structure for which the information rate is determined. This provides least effect on uncertain variations in the face since the entropy is the higher order statistical feature. The corresponding EV-SIFT features are applied to the Support vector machine for classification. The normal SIFT feature extracts the key points based on the contrast of the image and the V- SIFT feature extracts the key points based on the volume of the structure. However, the EV- SIFT method provides both the contrast and volume information. Thus EV-SIFT provide better performance when compared with PCA, normal SIFT and VSIFT based feature extraction.
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.
An Efficient Face Recognition Using Multi-Kernel Based Scale Invariant Featur...CSCJournals
Face recognition has gained significant attention in research community due to its wide range of commercial and law enforcement applications. Due to the developments in the past few decades, in the current scenario, face recognition is employing advanced feature identification techniques and matching methods. In spite of vast research done, face recognition still remains an open problem due to the challenges posed by illumination, occlusions, pose variation, scaling, etc. This paper is aimed at proposing a face recognition technique with high accuracy. It focuses on face recognition based on improved SIFT algorithm. In the proposed approach, the face features are extracted using a novel multi-kernel function (MKF) based SIFT technique. The classification is done using SVM classifier. Experimental results shows the superiority of the proposed algorithm over the SIFT technique. Evaluation of the proposed approach is done on CVL face database and experimental results shows that the proposed approach has a recognition rate of 99%.

SYMMETRICAL WEIGHTED SUBSPACE HOLISTIC APPROACH FOR EXPRESSION RECOGNITIONijcsit
Human face expression is one of the cognitive activity or attribute to deliver the opinions to others.This paper mainly delivers the performance of appearance based holistic approach subspace methods based on Principal Component Analysis (PCA). In this work texture features are extracted from face images using Gabor filter. It was observed that extracted texture feature vector space has higher dimensional and has
more number of redundant contents. Hence training, testing and classification time becomes more. The expression recognition accuracy rate is also reduced. To overcome this problem Symmetrical Weighted 2DPCA (SW2DPCA) subspace method is introduced. Extracted feature vector space is projected in to subspace by using SW2DPCA method. By implementing weighted principles on odd and even symmetrical
decomposition space of training samples sets proposed method have been formed. Conventional PCA and 2DPCA method yields less recognition rate due to larger variations in expressions and light due to more number of feature space redundant variants. Proposed SW2DPCA method optimizes this problem by reducing redundant contents and discarding unequal variants. In this work a well known JAFFE databases
is used for experiments and tested with proposed SW2DPCA algorithm. From the experimental results it was found that facial recognition accuracy rate of GF+SW2DPCA based feature fusion subspace method has been increased to 95.24% compared to 2DPCA method.

3-D Face Recognition Using Improved 3D Mixed TransformCSCJournals
This paper deals with the using of Improved 3D Mixed Transform (3D-IMT) for face recognition problem. The mixed transform consists; Fourier based 3D radon transform plus 1-D Wavelet transform (which is also known as 3D Ridgelet transform). The Mixed Transform is improved by using Particle swarm optimization ( PSO) , the improvement involves the selection of the best of directions for smart rectangle-to-polar transform as a part of the 3D Radon Transformation. The 3D-IMT is applied to the 3D representation of face images, and yields a few number of features, these features is projected into the maximized projection that achieves good recognition rate using the Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA).
A Novel Mathematical Based Method for Generating Virtual Samples from a Front...CSCJournals
This paper deals with one sample face recognition which is a new challenging problem in pattern recognition. In the proposed method, the frontal 2D face image of each person divided to some sub-regions. After computing the 3D shape of each sub-region, a fusion scheme is applied on sub-regions to create a total 3D shape for whole face image. Then, 2D face image is added to the corresponding 3D shape to construct 3D face image. Finally by rotating the 3D face image, virtual samples with different views are generated. Experimental results on ORL dataset using nearest neighbor as classifier reveal an improvement about 5% in recognition rate for one sample per person by enlarging training set using generated virtual samples. Compared with other related works, the proposed method has the following advantages: 1) only one single frontal face is required for face recognition and the outputs are virtual images with variant views for each individual 2) need only 3 key points of face (eyes and nose) 3) 3D shape estimation for generating virtual samples is fully automatic and faster than other 3D reconstruction approaches 4) it is fully mathematical with no training phase and the estimated 3D model is unique for each individual.

Living in 21st century in itself reminds all of us the necessity of police and its administration. As more and more we are entering into the modern society and culture, the more we require the services of the so called ‘Khaki Worthy’ men i.e., the police personnel. Whether we talk of Indian police or the other nation’s police, they all have the same recognition as they have in India. But as already mentioned, their services and requirements are different after the like 26th November, 2008 incidents, where they without saving their own lives has sacrificed themselves without any hitch and without caring about their respective family members and wards. In other words, they are like our heroes and mentors who can guide us from the darkness of fear, militancy, corruption and other dark sides of life and so on. Now the question arises, if Gandhi would have been alive today, what would have been his reaction/opinion to the police and its functioning? Would he have some thing different in his mind now what he had been in his mind before the partition or would he be going to start some Satyagraha in the form of some improvement in the functioning of the police administration? Really these questions or rather night mares can come to any one’s mind, when there is too much confusion is prevailing in our minds, when there is too much corruption in the society and when the polices working is also in the questioning because of one or the other case throughout the India. It is matter of great concern that we have to thing over our administration and our practical approach because the police personals are also like us, they are part and parcel of our society and among one of us, so why we all are pin pointing towards them.

ROLE OF SOCIAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP IN RURAL DEVELOPMENT OF INDIA - PROBLEMS AND ...IAEME Publication
The majority of the population in India lives in villages. The village is the back bone of the country. Village or rural industries play an important role in the national economy, particularly in the rural development. Developing the rural economy is one of the key indicators towards a country’s success. Whether it be the need to look after the welfare of the farmers or invest in rural infrastructure, Governments have to ensure that rural development isn’t compromised. The economic development of our country largely depends on the progress of rural areas and the standard of living of rural masses. Village or rural industries play an important role in the national economy, particularly in the rural development. Rural entrepreneurship is based on stimulating local entrepreneurial talent and the subsequent growth of indigenous enterprises. It recognizes opportunity in the rural areas and accelerates a unique blend of resources either inside or outside of agriculture. Rural entrepreneurship brings an economic value to the rural sector by creating new methods of production, new markets, new products and generate employment opportunities thereby ensuring continuous rural development. Social Entrepreneurship has the direct and primary objective of serving the society along with the earning profits. So, social entrepreneurship is different from the economic entrepreneurship as its basic objective is not to earn profits but for providing innovative solutions to meet the society needs which are not taken care by majority of the entrepreneurs as they are in the business for profit making as a sole objective. So, the Social Entrepreneurs have the huge growth potential particularly in the developing countries like India where we have huge societal disparities in terms of the financial positions of the population. Still 22 percent of the Indian population is below the poverty line and also there is disparity among the rural & urban population in terms of families living under BPL. 25.7 percent of the rural population & 13.7 percent of the urban population is under BPL which clearly shows the disparity of the poor people in the rural and urban areas. The need to develop social entrepreneurship in agriculture is dictated by a large number of social problems. Such problems include low living standards, unemployment, and social tension. The reasons that led to the emergence of the practice of social entrepreneurship are the above factors. The research problem lays upon disclosing the importance of role of social entrepreneurship in rural development of India. The paper the tendencies of social entrepreneurship in India, to present successful examples of such business for providing recommendations how to improve situation in rural areas in terms of social entrepreneurship development. Indian government has made some steps towards development of social enterprises, social entrepreneurship, and social in- novation, but a lot remains to be improved.
OPTIMAL RECONFIGURATION OF POWER DISTRIBUTION RADIAL NETWORK USING HYBRID MET...IAEME Publication
Distribution system is a critical link between the electric power distributor and the consumers. Most of the distribution networks commonly used by the electric utility is the radial distribution network. However in this type of network, it has technical issues such as enormous power losses which affect the quality of the supply. Nowadays, the introduction of Distributed Generation (DG) units in the system help improve and support the voltage profile of the network as well as the performance of the system components through power loss mitigation. In this study network reconfiguration was done using two meta-heuristic algorithms Particle Swarm Optimization and Gravitational Search Algorithm (PSO-GSA) to enhance power quality and voltage profile in the system when simultaneously applied with the DG units. Backward/Forward Sweep Method was used in the load flow analysis and simulated using the MATLAB program. Five cases were considered in the Reconfiguration based on the contribution of DG units. The proposed method was tested using IEEE 33 bus system. Based on the results, there was a voltage profile improvement in the system from 0.9038 p.u. to 0.9594 p.u.. The integration of DG in the network also reduced power losses from 210.98 kW to 69.3963 kW. Simulated results are drawn to show the performance of each case.
