Here at http://facerecognitionsystemuoltimeline.blogspot.co.uk you will find the blog for our year two project blog titled "Face Recognition System", by Yichen.Huang, Shuang.Hu, Yitong.Yu, supervised by Dr Tingting.Mu.
This project is a computer application capable of identifying or verifying a person from a digital image or video frame from a video source. Our group chose MATLAB R2014b with vision-toolboxes as the platform. The system tests input frames from both pictures and videos among large database consisting of faces of the three group members and others who test the system in the future. It has wide applications in video surveillance, biometric passwords and social networking.
Face Recognition mainly consists of three parts: Face Detection -> Feature Extraction -> Feature Classification.
Several built-in vision toolbox functions have been used in the program in order to achieve simple code. For further research, the system can be integrated to have more functions such as identifying emotions of a face.
