Multi-Pose Face Recognition Using Hybrid Face Features Descriptor

This paper presents a multi-pose face recognition approach using hybrid face features descriptors (HFFD). The HFFD is a face descriptor containing of rich discriminant information that is created by fusing some frequency-based features extracted using both wavelet and DCT analysis of several different poses of 2D face images. The main aim of this method is to represent the multi-pose face images using a dominant frequency component with still having reasonable achievement compared to the recent multi-pose face recognition methods. The HFFD based face recognition tends to achieve better performance than that of the recent 2D-based face recognition method. In addition, the HFFD-based face recognition also is sufficiently to handle large face variability due to face pose variations .

Spatial Pyramid Convolutional Neural Network for Social Event Detection in Static Image

Social event detection in a static image is a very challenging problem and it's very useful for internet of things applications including automatic photo organization, ads recommender system, or image captioning. Several publications show that variety of objects, scene, and people can be very ambiguous for the system to decide the event that occurs in the image. We proposed the spatial pyramid configuration of convolutional neural network (CNN) classifier for social event detection in a static image. By applying the spatial pyramid configuration to the CNN classifier, the detail that occurs in the image can observe more accurately by the classifier. USED dataset provided by Ahmad et al. is used to evaluate our proposed method, which consists of two different image sets, EiMM, and SED dataset. As a result, the average accuracy of our system outperforms the baseline method by 15% and 2% respectively.
