In this paper, a new face recognition system, GAYE, is presented. GAYE is a fully automatic system that detects and recognizes faces in cluttered scenes. The input of the system is any digitized image/image sequence that includes face/faces. The basic building blocks of the system are face detection, feature extraction and feature comparison. Face detection is based on skin color segmentation. For feature extraction, a novel approach is proposed that depends on the Gabor wavelet transform of the face image. By comparing facial feature vectors system finally makes a decision if the incoming person is recognized or not. Real time system tests show that GAYE achieves a recognition ratio over %90.

3D face recognition with local shape descriptors
İnan, Tolga; Halıcı, Uğur; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2011)
This thesis represents two approaches for three dimensional face recognition. In the first approach, a generic face model is fitted to human face. Local shape descriptors are located on the nodes of generic model mesh. Discriminative local shape descriptors on the nodes are selected and fed as input into the face recognition system. In the second approach, local shape descriptors which are uniformly distributed across the face are calculated. Among the calculated shape descriptors that are discriminative fo...
Face classification with support vector machine
Kepenekci, B; Akar, Gözde (2004-04-30)
A new approach to feature based frontal face recognition with Gabor wavelets and support vector machines is presented in this paper. The feature points are automatically extracted using the local characteristics of each individual face. A kernel that computes the similarity between two feature vectors, is used to map the face features to a space with higher dimension. To find the identity of a test face, the possible labels of each feature vector of that face is found with support vector machines, then the ...
Face recognition using Eigenfaces and neural networks
Akalın, Volkan; Severcan, Mete; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2003)
A face authentication system based on principal component analysis and neural networks is developed in this thesis. The system consists of three stages; preprocessing, principal component analysis, and recognition. In preprocessing stage, normalization illumination, and head orientation were done. Principal component analysis is applied to find the aspects of face which are important for identification. Eigenvectors and eigenfaces are calculated from the initial face image set. New faces are projected onto ...
Vulnerabilities of Facial Recognition and Countermeasures
Aktaş, Utku; Tezcan, Cihangir; Department of Cybersecurity (2022-2-8)
Due to the developments in deep learning, the use of face recognition systems started to spread rapidly. Face recognition systems, which are used for purposes such as unlocking phones, entering our offices, or tracking citizens of states, also bring several problems. Attackers can find a weakness of the face recognition systems and avoid detection by facial recognition systems in various ways. Additionally attackers may carry out an impersonation attack which is the act of tricking the system by looking lik...
Abnormal Crowd Behavior Detection Using Novel Optical Flow-Based Features
Direkoglu, Cem; Sah, Melike; O'Connor, Noel E. (2017-09-01)
In this paper, we propose a novel optical flow based features for abnormal crowd behaviour detection. The proposed feature is mainly based on the angle difference computed between the optical flow vectors in the current frame and in the previous frame at each pixel location. The angle difference information is also combined with the optical flow magnitude to produce new, effective and direction invariant event features. A one-class SVM is utilized to learn normal crowd behavior. If a test sample deviates si...
