Biometrics security and experiments on face recognition algorithms
Amal Dandashi, Walid Karam · 2012
Biometrics security analysis and performance evaluation of the following Face Recognition Algorithms is performed: Principal Components Analysis (PCA), Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) and Bayesian Intrapersonal/Extrapersonal Classifier (BIC), using the BANCA database. Software tools retrieve and preprocess images from sequential records within the BANCA database for algorithm evaluation. Then a verification environment over the set of images to be tested is developed, the above algorithms are invoked over the verification set, and verification parameters are collected. Results proved PCA performed most accurately and effectively with regards to security concerns, with an average recognition rate of 93%, while LDA and BIC lagged behind with recognition rates ranging from 80%-83%.
