A novel method for face recognition using neural networks with optical and infrared images

The Face recognition is an important and secured way to protect the frauds at everywhere like government agencies are investing a considerable amount of resources into improving security systems as result of recent terrorist events that dangerously exposed flaws and weaknesses in today´s safety mechanisms. Badge or password-based authentication procedures are too easy to hack. Biometrics represents a valid alternative but they suffer of drawbacks as well. In this paper, a neural based algorithm is presented. The dimensionality of face image is reduced by the Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) and Haar Wavelet+LDA. To recognize the user based on Neural Network done by Feed Forward Neural Network and Fuzzy Neural Network with Optical and Infrared image. To identify the correct person to improve the detection rate and also to reduce the time complexity.
