Abstract

With the advances in technology, facial recognition has become a very popular technology to be used majorly as a security technique. Face recognition using support vector machine is being used since years but it does not work well with imbalanced data and computational time which is more. In this work, an enhanced support vector machine (ESVM) is utilized for multi-classifying the face images. Fisher space method is utilized for feature extraction as it is more efficient for dataset consisting of multiple classes with class separability as a vital attribute while compressing dimensionality. It concentrates on type of features from face image data that provide a better demarcation for separation of face images, and then, ESVM-based multi-classification is utilized for classification purpose. The advantage of ESVM-based multiclass classification for face images includes flexibility, enhanced computational time. ESVM-based multiclass classification based on One-vs-One (OVO) and One-vs-All (OVA) which is utilized for performing experiment on two standard databases such as Yale and ORL. A number of experiments are also performed varying sub-dimensions in fisher space with different kernels of proposed ESVM on different training sets of both databases. A remarkable recognition rate of 100 and 92.5% was achieved on Yale and ORL database, respectively.
