Zusammenfassung

Face recognition is one of the most challenging problems in the domain of image processing and machine vision. Face recognition system is critical when individuals have very similar biometric signature such as identical twins. In this paper, new efficient facial-based identical twins recognition is proposed according to the geometric moment. The utilized geometric moment is Pseudo-Zernike Moment (PZM) as a feature extractor inside the facial area of identical twins images. Also, the facial area inside an image is detected using Ada Boost approach. The proposed method is evaluated on two datasets, Twins Days Festival and Iranian Twin Society which contain scaled, which contain the shifted and rotated facial images of identical twins in different illuminations. The results prove the ability of proposed method to recognize a pair of identical twins. Also, results show that the proposed method is robust to rotation, scaling and changing illumination.
