FACE RECOGNITION

ABSTRACT
 “Face recognition” is the fascinating topic in the field of
computer version. It has gained increasing interests over
the years, especially for biometric identification and
authentication applications in the homeland security.
 There are already many face recognition algorithms, exist
today, where each has its merits and weakness.
 This project describes an approach in developing a face
recognition program using LABVIEW programming
language and NI vision Development Module(builder).
 Face Recognition
Face is the most common biometric used by
humans.
Applications range from static,mugshot
verification to a dynamic, uncontrolled face
identification in a cluttered background.
Automatically locate the face.
Recognize the face from a general view point
under illumination conditions, facial
expressions, ageing effects.

 Classify window as either:

 Face
 Non-face

 Diagram of Data Flow:

LabVIEW follows a dataflow model for running a VI. A

block diagram node executes, when all its inputs are
available.
When a node completes execution, it supplies data to its
output terminals and passes the output data to the next node
in the data flow path.

 ADVANTAGES:
There are many benefits to face recognition such as it’s
convenience and social acceptability.
Face recognition is easy to use and in many cases it can be
performed without a person even knowing.

Face recognition is one of the most inexpensive bio-metric in

the market and it’s prices continue to go down.

DIS-ADVANTAGES:
Face recognition system can’t tell the difference between the twins.
 FUTURE SCOPE
It would be a nice addition to have this same
functionality added to not only the VIs and
controls that are in the palettes, but also for the VIs
and controls that are in the dependency list for the
project.  We could also see the need for a "Force
Update" button to force the list to be refreshed
after large changes to the dependency list have
occurred.
 CONCLUSION
 Face recognition has come a long way in the last twenty
years.Today,machines are able to automatically verify
information for secure transactions, surveillance and
security tasks. A different field of science that also is
very fast becoming more and more efficient, popular
and helpful to other applications. The combination of
Labview-Ni vision fields of science manage to achieve
the goal of computers in human interactions.
