Recognizing Surgically Altered Face Images and 3D Facial Expression Recognition

Altering Facial appearances using surgical procedures are common now days. But it raised challenges for face recognition algorithms. Plastic surgery introduces non linear variations. Because of these variations it is difficult to be modeled by the existing face recognition system. Here presents a multi objective evolutionary granular algorithm. It operates on several granules extracted from a face images at multiple level of granularity. This granular information is unified in an evolutionary manner using multi objective genetic approach. Then identify the facial expression from the face images. For that 3D facial shapes are considering here. A novel automatic feature selection method is proposed based on maximizing the average relative entropy of marginalized class-conditional feature distributions and apply it to a complete pool of candidate features composed of normalized Euclidian distances between 83 facial feature points in the 3D space. A regularized multi-class AdaBoost classification algorithm is used here to get the highest average recognition rate.
