Introduction: Under complex illumination conditions such as poor light sources and light changes rapidly, there are two disadvantages of current gamma transform in preprocessing face image: one is that the parameters of transformation need to be set based on experience; the other is the details of the transformed image are not obvious enough. Objective: Improve the current gamma transform. Methods: This paper proposes a weighted fusion algorithm of adaptive gamma transform and edge feature extraction. First, this paper proposes an adaptive gamma transform algorithm for face image preprocessing, that is, the parameter of transformation generated by calculation according to the specific gray value of the input face image. Secondly, this paper uses Sobel edge detection operator to extract the edge information of the transformed image to get the edge detection image. Finally, this paper uses the adaptively transformed image and the edge detection image to obtain the final processing result through a weighted fusion algorithm. Results: The contrast of the face image after preprocessing is appropriate, and the details of the image are obvious. Conclusion: The method proposed in this paper can enhance the face image while retaining more face details, without human-computer interaction, and has lower computational complexity degree.

In the process of face recognition, face acquisition data is seriously distorted. Many face images collected are blurred or even missing. Faced with so many problems, the traditional image inpainting was based on structure, while the current popular image inpainting method is based on deep convolutional neural network and generative adversarial nets. In this paper, we propose a 3D face image inpainting method based on generative adversarial nets. We identify two parallels of the vector to locate the planer positions. Compared with the previous, the edge information of the missing image is detected, and the edge fuzzy inpainting can achieve better visual match effect. We make the face recognition performance dramatically boost.

According to the features of material bag image, the paper compares an analyzes the detection effects of different edge detection operators detecting material bag image. A new image segmentation method is proposed to combine Sobel edge detection operator and iterative threshold. The method can extract edge information of material bag image efficiently and provide a theoretical basis for the robot automatic recognition of material bags technique.

Computer vision technology has been widely used in many applications and devices that involves biometric recognition. One of them is gender classification which has notable challenges when dealing with unique facial characteristics of human races. Not to mention the challenges from various poses of face and the lighting conditions. To perform gender classification, we resize and convert the face image into grayscale then extract its features using Fisherface. The features are reduced into 100 components using Principal Component Analysis (PCA) then classified into male and female category using linear Support Vector Machine (SVM). The test that conducted on 1014 face images from various human races resulted in 86% of accuracy using standard k-NN classifier while our proposed method shows better result with 88% of accuracy.

Facial recognition is one of the most popular issues in the field of pattern recognition.Face recognition with uncontrolled lighting conditions is more significant than thephysical characteristics of individual faces. Uncontrolled lighting from the right and leftcan affect the face image. A lot of research on facial recognition, but little attention givento the face image is symmetrical object. Several studies to explore and exploit thesymmetrical properties of the face for face recognition were performed. In this paper, wepropose a pre-processing method to solve one of the common problems in facial imageswith varying illumination. We utilize the symmetric property of the face then performedgamma correction then classified using Robust Regression. The results of this experimentgot an average accuracy of 94.31% and the proposed technique improves recognitionaccuracy especially in images with extreme lighting conditions using gamma correctionparameters γ = 0.3.

With the development of biometric recognition technology, sketch face recognition has been widely applied to assist the police to confirm the identity of the criminal suspect. Most of the present recognition methods use the image features directly, in which the key parts can’t be used sufficiently. This paper presents a sketch face recognition method based on P-HOG multi-features weighted fusion. Firstly, the global face image and the local face image which contains key components of the face are divided into patches based on spatial scale pyramid, and then the global P-HOG features and local P-HOG features are extracted, respectively. After that, the dimensions of global and local features are reduced using PCA and NLDA. Finally, the features are weighted based on sensitivity and fused. The nearest neighbor classifier is used to complete the final recognition. The experimental results on different databases show that the proposed method outperforms state-of-the-art methods.

AbstractEye movements toward sequentially presented face images with or without gaze cues were recorded to investigate whether those with ASD, in comparison to their typically developing (TD) peers, could prospectively perform the task according to gaze cues. Line-drawn face images were sequentially presented for one second each on a laptop PC display, and the face images shifted from side-to-side and up-and-down. In the gaze cue condition, the gaze of the face image was directed to the position where the next face would be presented. Although the participants with ASD looked less at the eye area of the face image than their TD peers, they could perform comparable smooth gaze shift to the gaze cue of the face image in the gaze cue condition. This appropriate gaze shift in the ASD group was more evident in the second half of trials in than in the first half, as revealed by the mean proportion of fixation time in the eye area to valid gaze data in the early phase (during face image presentation) and the time to first fixation on the eye area. These results suggest that individuals with ASD may benefit from the short-period trial experiment by enhancing the usage of gaze cue.

In this paper, we proposed an efficient method to address the problem of color face image segmentation that is based on color information and saliency map. This method consists of three stages. At first, skin colored regions is detected using a Bayesian model of the human skin color. Then, we get a chroma chart that shows likelihoods of skin colors. This chroma chart is further segmented into skin region that satisfy the homogeneity property of the human skin. The third stage, visual attention model are employed to localize the face region according to the saliency map while the bottom-up approach utilizes both the intensity and color features maps from the test image. Experimental evaluation on test shows that the proposed method is capable of segmenting the face area quite effectively,at the same time, our methods shows good performance for subjects in both simple and complex backgrounds, as well as varying illumination conditions and skin color variances.
