Face recognition using decision fusion of multiple sparse representation-based classifiers by Biao TANG, Wei JIN, Randi FU, Fei GONG

“…A new approach to face recognition combining decision fusion and multiple sparse representation-based classifiers was proposed to improve the robustness of the traditional methods.Different types of facial features were extracted,followed by training multiple sparse representation sub-classifiers,and then decision fusion was used to obtain the recognition result of the system.The significant advantage of the proposed scheme lines in that the final recognition results were not driven by averaging outputs of multiple sub-classifiers,but driven by combining multiple outputs via weighted fusion method.In particular,the fusion weights were adaptively determined by an iterative pro-cedure according to the different classification performance of each sub-classifier.Extensive experiments on Yale B,JAFFE and AR face databases demonstrate that the proposed approach is much more effective than state-of-the-art methods in dealing with lighting changes,expression changes and face occlusion and multi factor mixed interference.…”

Research and implementation of intelligent terminal lightweight face recognition system by Guo-jun MA, Hai-dong ZHOU

“…In order to solve this problem that traditional face recognition scheme was not efficiently suitable to intelligent terminal scene.An improved lightweight scheme of feature weighted clustering matching based on SIFT was presented.The scheme can learn automatically and adaptively add test samples to the training sample space.Reasonable division and scientific distribution of weight make this scheme has improved at run time and recognition rate.The improved algorithm has been tested in the ORL face database and Yale face database,compared with the classical SIFT algorithm the recognition rate improved by 6.13% and 14.11%,the running efficiency increased 9.1% and 4.7%.At the same time,in accordance with the test method by Zhou,in the ORL face database,the recognition rate was up to 74.05%,significantly improved than PCA,LBP and other classical algorithm.The algorithm in Android terminal is implemented,and the improved algorithm is verified to be available in the Android system by experiments.Finally,an improved scheme was proposed based on the cloud architecture.…”
