Principle Component Analysis PCA is a classical feature extraction and data representation technique
widely used in pattern recognition. It is one of the most successful techniques in face recognition. But it has
drawback of high computational especially for big size database. This paper conducts a study to optimize
the time complexity of PCA (eigenfaces) that does not affects the recognition performance. The authors
minimize the participated eigenvectors which consequently decreases the computational time. A
comparison is done to compare the differences between the recognition time in the original algorithm and
in the enhanced algorithm. The performance of the original and the enhanced proposed algorithm is tested
on face94 face database. Experimental results show that the recognition time is reduced by 35% by
applying our proposed enhanced algorithm. DET Curves are used to illustrate the experimental results.
INTRODUCTION
Face recognition is one of the important challenges in appearance-based pattern recognition field.
This technology has emerged as an attractive solution to address many new needs for
identification and verification of identity. It is the more familiar functionality of visual
surveillance systems. It has received significant attention for decades due to its numerous
potential applications. Some of these applications are national security, low enforcement,
surveillance, public safety field. There are many factors affect the face recognition performance
like facial expression, illumination, pose, cluttered background or occlusion.
The process begins with face detection and extraction from the larger image, then normalizing the
probe image so that it is in the same format (size, rotation, etc.) as the images in the database. The
normalized face image is then passed to the recognition phase.
Face recognition can typically be used for verification or identification. In verification an
individual is already enrolled in the reference database or gallery i.e. it is a one-to-one matching
task whereas in identification, a probe image is matched with a biometric reference in the gallery
i.e. it represents a one-to-many problem.
There are two outcomes: the person is not recognized or the person is recognized. Two
recognition mistakes may occur: false reject (FR) which indicates a mistake that occur when the
system reject a known person, false accept (FA) which indicates a mistake in accepting a claim
when it is in fact false.
In the past many years, there are a plenty of work has been done in face recognition and have
achieved success in real application. We can divide these algorithms into two main approaches:
two dimensional (2D) approaches and three dimensional (3D) approaches. Mainly, the traditional
2D approaches are divided into six algorithms: eigenfaces (PCA), fisherfaces or linear
discriminant analysis (LDA), independent component analysis (ICA), support vector machine
(SVM), neural network and hidden markov model (HMM) [1].
The 3D face recognition approaches become more popular. This technique uses 3D sensors to
capture information about the shape of a face. It can be divided in to two main categories: 3D face
reconstruction and 3D pose estimation. A third kind of approaches is hybrid approach which
combines 2D with 3D approaches together.
Despite the used algorithm, facial recognition can be decomposed into four phases: preprocessing
phase, segmentation or localization, feature extraction phase and recognition phase.
One of the most popular algorithms is principal component analysis (PCA) [2]. In PCA, the probe
and gallery images must be the same size. Therefore, a normalization is needed to lineup the eyes
and the mouths across all images. Each image is treated as one vector. All images of the training
set are stored in a single matrix T and each row in the matrix represents an image. The average
image has to be calculated and then subtracted from each original image in T. Then calculate the
eigenvectors and eigenvalues of the covariance matrix S. These eigenvectors are called
eigenfaces. The eigenfaces is the result of the reduction in dimensions which removes the unuseful
information and decomposes the face structure into the uncorrelated components
(eigenfaces). Each image may be represented as a weighted sum of the eigenfaces. A probe image
is then compared against the gallery by measuring the distance between their represent vectors.
In this paper the authors attempt to enhance the performance of the PCA by minimizing the
eigenvectors which consequently decrease the computational time without greatly affect the
recognition accuracy. Experiments are based on face94 [3] face database and show that the
distances does not change after applying our proposed method and the false acceptance rate FAR
can be decreased. The performance of the proposed algorithm is tested on face94 face database,
and the obtained results show an improvement in performance of the proposed algorithm as
compared to the same with PCA method.
The rest of this paper is organized as follows: in Section 2 we give a background illustrating the
popular face recognition algorithm PCA (eigenfaces). Section 3, demonstrates the recent and
related work in face recognition field. Section 4, we present our work. In Section 5 we display the
conducted experiments, Section 6 demonstrates the experiment results and Section 7 concludes
this work.
