AUTOMATIC FACE DETECTION USING GENETIC ALGORITHM FOR VARIOUS CHALLENGES

  • 1. Department of ECE, PEC University of Technology, Chandigarh

Description

Face detection in various conditions such as illumination, occlusion, complex background and different pose angles plays the most important role in face recognition. In this research, we proposed an improved algorithm for automatic live facial expression detection (FED) using radial basis function. Detect edges of the facial image by Genetic Algorithm and Fuzzy-C-means (GAFCM). The experimental results used various types of databases i.e. JAFFE, FEI, LFW-a, BioID, CMU and Own database. In this algorithm, detect a face using the fdlibmex algorithm. But we improved limitations of this algorithm using contrast enhancement. We solved the problem of low contrast images. In the preprocessing stage, apply median filtering for removing noise from an image. The detection rate has reached up to100% for expression recognition.
