Sarawat Anam · 2009
Abstract — In this paper, a face recognition system for personal identification and verification using Genetic algorithm and Back-propagation Neural Network is proposed. The system consists of three steps. At the very outset some pre-processing are applied on the input image. Secondly face features are extracted, which will be taken as the input of the Back-propagation Neural Network (BPN) and Genetic Algorithm (GA) in the third step and classification is carried out by using BPN and GA. The proposed approaches are tested on a number of face images. Experimental results demonstrate the higher degree performance of these algorithms.
