  1. Preprocessing Images for Facial Recognition Adam Schreiner ECE533

  2. Solution Problem • Face recognition systems have problems recognizing differences in lighting, pose, facial expressions, and picture quality. • Apply some sort of processing to images before they are analyzed to increase success

  3. Process • Create a training set • Read in images • Apply Preprocessing technique • Make it easier to process the data and increase the chances of getting correct matches • Better chances of success with changes in illumination, pose, picture quality. • Decrease processing time. • Format data, calculate the face space • Apply same Preprocessing technique to test images • Run test images against the face space • Rank techniques based on number of correct matches, number of false matches, and time to calculate data

  4. Methods to Test • Smoothing • Blurring • Sharpen • Edge Detection • Image Size • Combinations

  5. Calculating Eigenfaces • Read in Training Set • Apply Processing Technique • Calculate the mean image • Find the difference between each image and the mean image • Calculate L matrix and eigen vectors • Calculate eigenfaces • Keep the M’ images that correspond to highest eigen values as the face space

  6. Verifying Faces • Form a set of weights from training data • Get new face image, apply preprocessing technique • From set of weights for new image • Find the distance between the new face and the training data • If distance is less than a set threshold the face is categorized as the kth person in the database.

  7. Example Eigenfaces

  8. Results • Will be ranked on best performance based upon • Correct matching • Speed • Incorrect matches
