Personal Based Authentication by Face Recognition

Authentication is a significant issue in system control. Traditional account based authentication doesn´t guarantee the exact person of the account. It also suffers from the easily guessed problem. On the other hand, the camera is more and more popular. Personal based authentication via cameras becomes possible for mobile users. In the paper, we propose the PBAS, which conducts the authentication depends on both face image and password. We claim that the password information can be used to enhance face recognition rate, which is the most significant benchmark for identification system. Finally, we simulate the PBAS by PCA method based on both database we constructed and a subset of FERET. The result of experiment shows that our system performs much better than the PCA method without password integration.
