Face recognition algorithm based on attractive local second gradient contours by Xueyi YE, Dingwei QIAN, Na YING, Tao WANG

“…In order to solve the problem that traditional LDP algorithms is difficult to balance the effectiveness of feature extraction and the stability of feature encoding, an attractive local second gradient contours (ALSGC) face feature extraction algorithm was proposed.Firstly, the Kirsch operator was used to calculate the neighborhood edge response image of the face image.Secondly, an attraction descriptor was introduced and the local average gray value and global average gray value of the edge response image and the neighborhood center gray value was combined to complete the local attraction pattern encoding.The entire image was traversed to get the ALSGC face feature map, the ALSGC feature map was divided to blocks and the statistical histograms of different patterns for each block was obtained by calculation.Finally, the statistical histograms of all the blocks were cascaded to generate the corresponding feature vector and support vector machine was used to complete classification and recognition.The proposed algorithm not only overcame the insufficient effectiveness of LBP, LDP, LDN and other algorithms who extract first-gradient features, but also reduced the sensitivity to changes in expression, posture, occlusion, lighting and random noise of methods such as DLDP, CSLDP, GCSLDP who extracting second-gradient features.It better achieved the balance between the effectiveness of feature extraction and the stability of feature encoding, and took into account the recognition rate and robustness.…”

RESEARCH ON ARRAY-ENHANCED SELF-ADAPTIVE STOCHASTIC RESONANCE BASED ON PARTICLE SWARM OPTIMIZATION by ZHANG YongLiang, LI GuoLin, YIN HongWei

“…Firstly,the parallel SR system was adopted to enhance the SNR of the final output response by analyzing the output responses of sub-systems with the theory of auto correlation analysis and composing them.Secondly,in each sub-system in parallel,the cascaded SR system was adopted to enhance the SNR of output responses further.Finally,the parameters in each sub-systems in parallel were optimized with the SNR of output response as the fitness function,and the sectioning search and tsPSO algorithm were used to shorten the self-adaptive time of the parameters at the same time. …”
