Face Recognition Using the SR-CNN Model

In order to solve the problem of face recognition in complex environments being vulnerable to illumination change, object rotation, occlusion, and so on, which leads to the imprecision of target position, a face recognition algorithm with multi-feature fusion is proposed. This study presents a new robust face-matching method named SR-CNN, combining the rotation-invariant texture feature (RITF) vector, the scale-invariant feature transform (SIFT) vector, and the convolution neural network (CNN). Furthermore, a graphics processing unit (GPU) is used to parallelize the model for an optimal computational performance. The Labeled Faces in the Wild (LFW) database and self-collection face database were selected for experiments. It turns out that the true positive rate is improved by 10.97⁻13.24% and the acceleration ratio (the ratio between central processing unit (CPU) operation time and GPU time) is 5⁻6 times for the LFW face database. For the self-collection, the true positive rate increased by 12.65⁻15.31%, and the acceleration ratio improved by a factor of 6⁻7.
