Abstract

 We propose an appearance-based face

recognition method called the
Laplacianface approach.

 Using Locality Preserving Projections

(LPP), the face images are mapped into a
face subspace for analysis.
Existing System

 Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Linear

Discriminant Analysis (LDA).

 PCA is to reduce the large dimensionality of the

data space to the smaller intrinsic dimensionality
of feature space.

 The jobs of PCA are prediction, redundancy

removal, feature extraction, data compression,
etc.
Disadvantages

 Less accurate.

 Does not deal with manifold structure.

 It doest not deal with biometric characteristics.

 Proposed System
 Locality Preserving Projection (LPP), a new algorithm
for learning a locality preserving subspace.

 LPP is a general method for manifold learning.

 The difficulty that the matrix XDXT is Sometimes

singular.

 To overcome the complication of a singular XDXT ,

we first project the image set to a PCA subspace so
that the resulting matrix XDXT is nonsingular.
 The Algorithm

1)PCA projection.

2)Constructing the nearest-neighbor graph.

3)Choosing the weights.

if node i and j are connected then

else
Sij=0;
4)Eigenmap.
To compute eigenvector
Solve:
Gives: w0;w1; . . . ;wk_1

5)Calculate Laplacianface:
W=Wpca Wlpp;
Where,
Wlpp=[w0;w1; . . . ;wk_1] ;
Wpca=Transformation matrix of PCA;
W=Transformation matrix of Laplacianface.
 Project Modules

 Read/Write Module.
The image files are read, processed and new
images are written into the output images.

 Resizing Module.
In this module large images or smaller images are
converted into standard sizing.
 Image Manipulation.
The face recognition algorithm using
Locality Preserving Projections (LPP) is developed for
various enrolled into the database.

 Testing Module.
The Intermediate image and find the tested
image then again compared with the laplacian faces

Experimental Results

 Yale Database.

 PIE Database.

 MSRA Database.
Yale Database
 Constructed at the Yale Center for Computational
Vision and Control.

 It contains 165 grayscale images of 15

individuals.

 The images demonstrate variations in lighting

condition,facial expression, and with/without
glasses.
Performance Comparison on the Yale Database
PIE Database
 In PIE Database, the error rate of our
Laplacianfaces method decreases fast as the
dimensionality of the face subspace.

 Table shows the recognition results.

Performance Comparison on the PIE Database
MSRA Database
 This database was collected at Microsoft Research
Asia.

 Sixty-four to eighty face images were collected

for each individual in each session.

 Table shows the Laplacian faces method has

lower error rate than those of Eigen faces and
fisher faces.

Application
 It could benefit the visually impaired person.

 A computer vision-based authentication system

could be put in place to allow computer access.

 Access to a specific room using face recognition.

Conclusion
 Our system is proposed to use Locality Preserving
Projection in Face Recognition which eliminates
the flaws in the existing system.

 This system makes the faces to reduce into lower

dimensions and algorithm for LPP is performed for
recognition.
