Abstract

During the last few years, Local Binary Patterns (LBP) has aroused increasing interest in image processing and computer vision. LBP was originally proposed for texture analysis, and has proved a simple yet powerful approach to describe local structures. It has been extensively exploited in many applications, for instance, face image analysis, image and video retrieval, environment modeling, visual inspection, motion analysis, biomedical and aerial image analysis, remote sensing. Face recognition is an interesting and challenging problem, and impacts important applications in many areas such as identification for law enforcement, authentication for banking and security system access, and personal identification among others. In this paper we are concerned with face recognition in a video stream using Local Binary Pattern histogram with processed data. First we will detect faces by using a combination of Haar cascade files that uses skin detection, eye detection and nose detection as input of LBP to increase the accuracy of the proposed recognition system. Also, our system can be used to build a dataset of faces and names to be used in a recognition step. The experimental results have shown that the proposed system can achieve accuracy of recognition up to 96.5% which was better than the relevant methods.
