Efficient Feature Extraction from Multispectral Images for Face Recognition Applications: A Deep Learning Approach

Abstract

In recent years many face recognition algorithms were used for the identification and authentication of a person to a system. However, still, feature extraction from multispectral images was considered to be a challenging task. Feature extraction, including highlight location and portrayal, assumes a significant job in real-time security-based applications. In this paper, a novel Geometric Algebra-based Multivariate Regression Feature Extraction (GA-MVRFE) algorithm was proposed to extract features from a huge dataset stored in the cloud efficiently. This proposed algorithm works with the supreme expedient deep learning approach - Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) for image classification. CNN will automatically detect significant features from the multispectral images without any human intrusion from a huge database. Real-time images were captured with three different cameras and applied filters over the images and were created as a dataset. To show the competence of the proposed algorithm, an exclusively created dataset with a set of 14,400 image data was applied in the proposed and other existing algorithms, and their efficiency and robustness were noted. Providentially, GA-MVRFE produced better accuracy in ‘Face Recognition’ with a less time fraction compared with former algorithms. Obtained accuracy % for Geometric Algebra Oriented fast and Rotated Brief (GA-ORB), Geometric Algebra Fast Retina key-point Extraction Algorithm (GA-FREAK), Trilateral Smooth Filtering (TRSF), Cross Regression Multiple View Features extraction (CRMVF) and GA-MVRFE was 87.81, 83.23, 90.72, 91.67 and 97.57 respectively.

“…Grayscale images help in protecting significant visual cues, which are image structure data, spatial color consistency, and color channel observation priority (Nafchi et al., 2017). For analysis, considering RGB color and Grayscale together helps to get luminance and chrominance information (Sudharsanan et al., 2021).…”
