Combination of Genetic Algorithm and Neural Network to Select Facial Features in Face Recognition Technique

Abstract

Face recognition methods are computational algorithms that follow aim to identify a person's image according to the bank of images they have of different people. So far, various methods have been proposed for face recognition, which can generally be divided into two categories based on face structure and based on facial features. Based on this, many algorithms have been introduced and used for face recognition. Genetic algorithm has been one of the successful algorithms for face recognition. In this article, we first briefly explained the genetic algorithm and then used the combination of neural network and genetic algorithm to select and classify facial features The presented method has been evaluated using individual features and combined features of the face region. Composite features perform better than face region features in experimental tests. Also, a comprehensive comparison with other facial recognition techniques available in the FERET database is included in this paper. The proposed method has produced a classification accuracy of 94%, which is a significant improvement and the best classification accuracy among the results established in other studies.

Interference Management Based on Meta-Heuristic Algorithms in 5G Device-to-Device Communications

“…A genetic algorithm is a method of optimization that mimics Darwin's theory of the survival of the fittest across a population of competing individuals evolving from one generation to the next. To simulate the evolutionary process of the genetic algorithm, we employ two primary operations: Crossover and Mutation [49].…”

Literature review on the application of numerical model in improving face recognition performance

“…Taraneh Kamyab et al used this method to improve the accuracy of classification significantly. The combination of genetic algorithm and neural network can not only be easily executed in parallel, but also do not require any restrictions on the optimized functions [3]. In addition, Neural network face recognition and principal component analysis (PCA) is a common way used by people nowadays.…”
