It is of great significance that a home service robot can recognize facial expressions of a human being. This thesis suggests that features of facial expressions be extracted with PCA, and facial expressions be recognized by distance-based Hashing K-nearest neighbor classification. First, Haar-like feature and AdaBoost algorithm is adopted to detect a face and preprocess the face image; then PCA is applied to extract features of the facial expression, those features will be inserted into the hash table; finally, the facial expression can be recognized by K-nearest neighbor classification algorithm. As concluded, recognition efficiency can be greatly improved after reconstructing the feature database into hash tables.
It’s a new idea to make computers be able to obtain “sensations” from a color image through some unsupervised ways. To let the idea come into true, a granule-based model, based on granular computing(GrC) which is a new way to simulate human thinking to help solve complicated problems in the field of computational intelligence, is proposed for color image processing. First, this paper deems data a hypercube, defines two new concepts, attribute granules(AtG) and connected granules(CoG), and presents the definitions of the granule-based model. Then, in order to fulfill the granule-based model, this paper designs a single attribute analyser(SAA), defines some theorems and lemmas related to decomposition, and describes the processing of extracting all attibute granules. Experimental results on over 300 color images show that the proposed analyser is accurate, robust, high-speed, and able to provide computers with “sensations”.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
