Human Face Recognition from Part of a Facial Image based on Image Stitching

Abstract

Most of the current techniques for face recognition require the presence of a full face of the person to be recognized, and this situation is difficult to achieve in practice, the required person may appear with a part of his face, which requires prediction of the part that did not appear. Most of the current forecasting processes are done by what is known as image interpolation, which does not give reliable results, especially if the missing part is large. In this work, we adopted the process of stitching the face by completing the missing part with the flipping of the part shown in the picture, depending on the fact that the human face is characterized by symmetry in most cases. To create a complete model, two facial recognition methods were used to prove the efficiency of the algorithm. The selected face recognition algorithms that are applied here are Eigenfaces and geometrical methods. Image stitching is the process during which distinctive photographic images are combined to make a complete scene or a high-resolution image. Several images are integrated to form a wide-angle panoramic image. The quality of the image stitching is determined by calculating the similarity among the stitched image and original images and by the presence of the seam lines through the stitched images. The Eigenfaces approach utilizes PCA calculation to reduce the feature vector dimensions. It provides an effective approach for discovering the lower-dimensional space. In addition, to enable the proposed algorithm to recognize the face, it also ensures a fast and effective way of classifying faces. The phase of feature extraction is followed by the classifier phase. Displacement classifiers using square Euclidean and City-Block distances are used. The test results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm gave a recognition rate of around 95%, to validate the proposed algorithm; it compared to the existing CNN and Multibatch estimator method.

DCM2Net: an improved face recognition model for panoramic stereoscopic videos

“…There is more and more research on face recognition in panoramic video (Liu Y.-F. et al, 2017 ; Zhang et al, 2021 ; Kocacinar et al, 2022 ; Shahin et al, 2022 ; Hakobyan, 2023 ; Liu et al, 2023 ; Perroni Filho et al, 2023a , b ). Fu et al ( 2019 ) create a fisheye face image dataset by sampling patches from face images applying fisheye-looking distortion to them, and using it to train the model.…”

Age Estimation on Human Face Image Using Support Vector Regression and Texture-Based Features

“…Principal Component Analysis (PCA) is a statistical method to distinguish patterns and signal processing. PCA reduces dimensional data, feature extraction, and facial recognition [18]. PCA is a powerful method, especially for high-dimensional data.…”
