Face Recognition System

Face Recognition System
         INTRODUCTION:

Face recognition, both by humans and machine, is developing as an active research area. This area presence a critical survey of existing literature on human and machine recognition of faces. In order to better design machine based faced recognition, it is necessary to understand how human perceive faces. The primary task at hand, given still or video images, requires the identification of one or more persons using a database of stored face images. To do this the face must segmented and extracted from the scene, where upon it can be identified and matched.

         Human and Machine Recognition of Faces

Machine recognition of faces from still and video images is emerging as an active research area spanning several disciplines such as image processing, pattern recognition, computer vision and neural networks. In addition, face recognition technology (FRT) has numerous commercial and law enforcement applications. These applications range from static matching of controlled format photographs such as passports, credit card, photo ID’s, driver’s licenses and mug shots to real time matching of inspection video images presenting different constraints in terms of processing requirements. Although humans seem to recognize faces in cluttered scenes with relative ease, machine recognition is a much more demoralizing task. A general statement of the problem can be formulated as follows; given still or video images of a scene identify one or more persons in the scene using a stored database of faces. Available collateral information such as race, age and gender may be used in narrowing the search. The solution of the problem involves segmentation of faces from cluttered scenes, extraction of features from the face region, identification and matching, the generic face recognition task thus posed is a central issue in problems such as electronic line up and browsing through a database of faces.

         Problem Description
The problem with the present system is same as problems encountered in any manual file processing system. The existing system does not support the cropped images of criminals. The existing system is not suitable in some cases such as if a witness can identify only a part of the criminal. Present system uses some algorithms for identifying criminal faces which are difficult to process. Finally the existing system doesn’t always produce better results in identifying the criminals by their images.

        Feasibility study
Depending on the results of initial investigation the survey is now expands to a more detailed feasibility study. “Feasibility study” is a test of a system proposal according to its work ability, impact of the organization, ability to meet needs and effective use of the resources.

It focuses on these major questions

 What are the user’s demonstrable needs and how does a candidate system meet
   them?
 What resources are available for given candidate system?
 What are likely impacts of the candidate system on the organization?
 Whether it is worth to solve the problem?

During feasibility analysis for this project, following primary areas of interest are to be considered. Investigation and generating ideas about a new system does this.

Steps in feasibility analysis
          Seven steps are involved in the feasibility analysis are:
 Prepare system flowcharts.
 Enumerate potential proposed system.
 Define and identify characteristic of proposal system.

 Determine and evaluate performance and cost effective for each proposed system.
 Weight system performance and cost data.
 Select and best-proposed system.
 Prepared and report final project directive to management.
