Analysis of Feature Extraction and Anti-Interference of Face Image under Deep Reconstruction Network Algorithm by Jin Yang, Yuxuan Zhao, Shihao Yang, Xinxin Kang, Xinyan Cao, Xixin Cao

“…To explore the anti-interference performance of convolutional neural network (CNN) reconstructed by deep learning (DL) framework in face image feature extraction (FE) and recognition, in the paper, first, the inception structure in the GoogleNet network and the residual error in the ResNet network structure are combined to construct a new deep reconstruction network algorithm, with the random gradient descent (SGD) and triplet loss functions as the model optimizer and classifier, respectively, and it is applied to the face recognition in Labeled Faces in the Wild (LFW) face database. Then, the portrait pyramid segmentation and local feature point segmentation are applied to extract the features of face images, and the matching of face feature points is achieved using Euclidean distance and joint Bayesian method. …”
