A Facial Expression Classification System Integrating Canny, Principal Component Analysis and Artificial Neural Network

Facial Expression Classification is an interesting research problem in recent years. There are a lot of methods to solve this problem. In this research, we propose a novel approach using Canny, Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Artificial Neural Network. Firstly, in preprocessing phase, we use Canny for local region detection of facial images. Then each of local region's features will be presented based on Principal Component Analysis (PCA). Finally, using Artificial Neural Network (ANN)applies for Facial Expression Classification. We apply our proposal method (Canny_PCA_ANN) for recognition of six basic facial expressions on JAFFE database consisting 213 images posed by 10 Japanese female models. The experimental result shows the feasibility of our proposal method.

Fingerprint recognition using standardized fingerprint model

Fingerprint recognition is one of most popular and accuracy Biometric technologies. Nowadays, it is used in many real applications. However, recognizing fingerprints in poor quality images is still a very complex problem. In recent years, many algorithms, models...are given to improve the accuracy of recognition system. This paper discusses on the standardized fingerprint model which is used to synthesize the template of fingerprints. In this model, after pre-processing step, we find the transformation between templates, adjust parameters, synthesize fingerprint, and reduce noises. Then, we use the final fingerprint to match with others in FVC2004 fingerprint database (DB4) to show the capability of the model.
