Abstract
Face detection by low-resolution image (LR) is one of the key aspects of Human-Computer Interaction(HCI). Due to the LR image, which has changes in pose, lighting, and illumination, the performance of face recognition is reduced. In this work, we propose the Deep Belief Network-Crossover based Firefly (DBN-CROFF) method for face recognition from low-resolution images. The Histogram of Gradient (HOG) and 2-Dimensional Discrete Wavelet Transform (2D-DWT) to extract facial width, size of the cheeks, skin tone, nose, and lip shape features from facial data. The Kernel Principle Component Analysis (k-PCA) is used to successfully reduce the dimension of the feature. The experimental performance of the proposed method is evaluated using four datasets namely LFW, Multi-PIE, Extended Yale-B, and FERET with conventional techniques. Finally, the proposed DBN-CROFF solution surpasses the other conventional facial recognition approaches by giving a higher accuracy of recognization.
