• There is no effective algorithm currently

proposed in the world that can work with
face ratios using stereo imaging.

Thesis Statement.

• The primary goal of this paper is to

address the face recognition using stereo
imaging by calculate face ratios.

 Abstract:
Human eye can see the depth in any image or environment
because of three-dimension vision. This 3D vision is only
possible by the help of two eyes and the appropriate
distance between them. Stereo imaging using face ratios
are not previously discussed for face recognition. This
paper explains the significance of human face recognition
by stereo imaging. This 3D vision is only possible by the
help of two eyes and the appropriate distance between
them. The Average distance between the eyes is
approximately 4.1 cm or 41mm. If we replace eyes with
two different cameras for this purpose and morph left and
right images, it will give us stereo images. We can use this
technology for face recognition with the help of face
ratios. These face ratios generate eight digit bar code and
that code is unique for every human being. The aim of
this paper is to present a new emerging algorithm based
on face ratio using stereo images.

 Introduction.
• What is Stereo image?
• Three dimension visualization of data in 2D
using smart techniques is known as Stereo
Imaging.3D representation of data is
produced by the help of two cameras
keeping the distance “d” between them.
• 2 cameras with their optical axes parallel
and separated by a distance d. The line
connecting the camera lens centers is
called the baseline.
• Baseline will be perpendicular to the line of
sight of the cameras. Let the x axis of the
three-dimensional coordinate system be
parallel to the baseline .
• The origin ‘O’ of this system be mid-way
between the lens centers. Consider a point
(x,y,z), in three-dimensional coordinates,
of an object.

Stereo Image
• In this picture we are
going to explain two
different perspectives of
any human being using
standard cameras. But if
we transform this face
matrix into stereo face
matrix , we have to
morph these images and
the final result shows you
the perfect stereo image
or your real eye vision.

Algorithm.

• This Algorithm explains the ratio’s of most visible

parts of human face.
• Human face mapped according to perpendicular
of the system.
– The first step is the marking of five different lines in
any face.
– The first line crosses through the top of the forehead.
– Second line crosses through the eye ball.
– Third line crosses through the bottom of the nostrils.
– Fourth line crosses between the lips.
– The last line crosses bottom of the chin.

Stereo Image contd….
• Second phase initiate with the measurement of ears,
measurement of nostrils and lips, measurements of inner
gap of the eyes and the last measurement is the outer
eye gap.
• After getting these measurements comparison starts
among other face ratios. Then their result divided by
other results and generates a code, this will be an eight
digit code and this code will be further converted into
readable bar code for recognition & authentication. This
Code will be unique for every human being and used as
an authentic code for recognition.

Algorithm Contd..
• Step 1: load the standard
front image as shown in figure • Tilt face
or rotated face in the database
and apply normalization and
rotate the face to 90o degrees
or perpendicular the face as
shown in the figure.
• Step 2: This step is for
conversion of normal RGB
image into grey scale with
proper image filtering. The
current image load into the
system for recognition.
• Step3: Now mark the image
with 14 different predefined
lines.

Algorithm Contd..
• Face mapping is applied in this
step by mapping exact 900
rotations. After this step
mapped L1 line on the top of
the forehead ,L2 mapped with
the line crosses through the
eye ball, further L3 is mapped
with the bottom of nostril, L4
will be mapped that crosses
through the lips and the last
line that is L5,crosses through
the bottom of the chin.

Implementation

• The Research on Face Recognition using stereo

imaging is quite emerging and its algorithm
helps to develop the human face as an eight
digit internationally standard bar code, that can
be recognized as an identity of any citizen. This
algorithm can also be applicable for national
database registration authority (NADRA). We
can also compare stereo imaging technology
with IRIS recognition , thumb recognition and
DNA recognition technologies.

 CONCLUSIONS

• Aim of this paper is to present a new

algorithm which based on the stereo
imaging and face geometry ratios. The
main objective is to develop a barcode
using these ratios from proper
authentication.
