INTRODUCTION
Various operations make use of computer based
procedures and methods in order to execute processing on
digital images. These operations are comprised of
methods such as image reconstruction, enhancement,
compression, registration, rendering, analysis,
segmentation, feature extraction, face detection and
recognition, respectively all these processes are
component of a huge field called digital image processing.
Face recognition is an enormous field comprised of
huge processes of investigation and examination based
methods. Each year the attempted solutions grow in
complexity and execution times. If we examine the history
of face recognition filed then we can see that the work on
this field has its initialization roots in the times almost 35
years back from the present time. Most demanding field
in the image processing is face detection and recognition
system, numerous methods and techniques have been
proposed and developed in this regard, but still there is a
huge room for new and effective work. If we talk in
general about the face recognition process then we can
say that it is a process comprised of examining a person's
face and then relating and matching the scanned face next
to a data base consisting of acknowledged faces. It
identifies individuals by features (Hiremath et al., 2007).
Pattern recognition is a dynamic subject in prospect
of human face recognition. It has huge range of
applications such as recognition, driving certification and
identification portrait confirmation, check organism of
banks, mechanical safety methods, image dispensation,
visualization centred human device communication, face
detection and recognition and in the prospect of
entertainment.
There exist two main types in regard of human face
identification centred on holist or examination of facial
features. One type makes use of all the characteristics of
a pattern or facial features. The main methods under this
field are neural network based face recognition (Khanfir
and Jemaa, 2006), elastic graph match method for face
recognition (Wiskott et al., 1999), Eigenface (Turk and
Pentland, 1991), fisher faces and face recognition through
density-isoline examination face equivalent. The second
type in this regard works on specific features extracted
from the face. The main methods under this type include
face recognition through facial feature extraction,
template matching approach (Hsu et al., 2002) and
boundary tracing approach. Face recognition base on
human face geometry was also an area under
consideration (Basavaraj and Nagraj, 2006).
Face recognition in many techniques seems like three
phase process i.e., face detection, features extraction and
lastly the face recognition phase (Zhao et al., 2003).
In this study face detection, features extraction and
recognition technique is presented which detects the face
from the frontal view face images based on skin colour
information. After that face region containing the face is
extracted. After having the detected face, the eyes are

extracted using eye maps. Then nose and lips are
extracted on the basis of distance between the two eyes.
After the features extraction, a small face region is picked
in order to improve the computational time. The picked
region is the left eye from the extracted features. For the
recognition purpose combination of Eigenfeatures and
Fisherfeatures is used.
LITERATURE REVIEW
Existing work: There are various diverse methods
proposed in the perspective of face recognition. Huge
work has been done in this area and many different
methods had been used for the face detection and
recognition purpose. These methods are ranging from
Eigen face approach (Turk and Pentland, 1991), Gabor
wavelets (Duc et al., 1999; Zhang et al., 2005) to 2D
discrete cosine transform for facial features extraction
(Eickler et al., 2000), geometrical approach (Hiremath
and Ajit, 2004; J'and Miroslav, 2008). PCA based facial
features extraction (BELHUMEUR et al., 1997 a, b) has
a drawback that the method is sensitive to the illumination
changes. Few most commonly used methods are PCA
(Turk and Pentland, 1991), LDA (Belhumeur et al., 1997
a, b), ICA (Bartlett et al., 2002), kernel methods, Gabor
wavelets (Yousra and Sana, 2008; Zhang et al., 2004),
neural networks etc. Many researchers used the facial
features for the recognition purpose. Some extracted the
face features values in the form of Eigen values or Fisher
values and some used the features of face i.e., eyes, nose
and lips to recognize the face images.
Accurate facial features extraction is important for
accurate face recognition. Features are extracted in many
different ways that provide different types of issues to be
considered. An earlier approach to face features extraction
was proposed by Yuille et al. (1989). He mainly used
templates of deformable parameters to extract eyes and
mouth. But the method was computationally expensive
and accuracy was not guaranteed.
An existing method that extracts facial features and
performs recognition based on these extracted features is
developed by Wiskott et al. (1999). In this technique a
feature extraction (iris, mouth) and face recognition
approach is presented. Iris and mouth are extracted and
the template matching approach is used for the
recognition purpose. The algorithm first locates the face
area by means of skin colour subsequent to the extraction
of applicants of iris centred calculated costs. After that the
mouth region is extracted by making use of colour space
called RGB. After that associated component process is
utilized to accurately extract out the lips region. In order
to assure that detected lips are mouth, mouth corner points
are extracted using a method called SUSAN approach.
Lastly face identification is carried out using template
matching process.

In proposed work, both methods were used for the
recognition purpose. The features of the face are detected
commencing the detected face and then left eye is picked
whose Eigen and Fisher values are calculated for the
recognition purpose.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
The proposed technique is basically face detection
features extraction and recognition technique. The system
contains there main phases which are:
CFace Detection
CFeatures Extraction
CFace Recognition
The basic working of the system is as follows (Fig. 1):

Res. J. App. Sci. Eng. Technol., 4(17): 2879-2886, 2012
2881
Face detection: The face detection phase further
involves2 steps which are:
CPre-processing
CImage resize
CYcbcr conversion and normalization
CSkin Segmentation
CFace detection
Pre-processing: First an input image is presented to the
system Fig. 2 represents an example input image.
Image resizes: When the method is offered with an input
image the image is resized to 200×180 pixels in order to
apply further processing.
Ycbcr conversion and normalization: The objective of
this step is to compensate the lightening effects in the
input image. The basic purpose is to attenuate noise from
the image; this step works by converting the image to
YCbCr colour space and finding the maximum and
minimum values of luminance Y. Next average value of
Y is calculated. Then according to that average value the
values of red, green and blue components are adjusted.
The process works as:
Y = Ycbcr conversion of the input image.
Y = 0.25 R+0.504 G+0.098B+16 (1)
Cb = 0.439 R-0.368 G-0.071B+128 (2)
Cr = 0.148 R-0.291+0.439B+128 (3)
First maximum and minimum values of Y are
calculated using:
Ymin = min(min(Y) (4)
Ymax = max(max(Y) (5)
where Y=Ycbcr conversion of the input image.
After calculating the values, the subsequent step is to
normalize the value of Y (luminance) which is done by:
Y = 255.0*(Y-Ymin)/(Ymax-Ymin)(6)
After that the average value of Y is calculated that is
used for lightning compensation purpose:
Yavg = sum (sum(Y))/(W*H) (7)
where,
W = Width of the input image and
H = Height of the input image
Input image resized YCbCr conversion

Fig. 5: Detected face region
The output of this step is shown in Fig. 3:
Skin segmentation: In the next step the image after
preprocessing is used as input and skin region is extracted
using the YCbCr colour space. This process basically
utilizes the skin colour in order to separate the face
region.
For this process the value of Cr (red difference
chroma component) is fixed in a range and only pixels in
that particular range are picked as skin pixels of the face.
The range defined here is 10<Cr & Cr<45. Figure 4
represents the segmented skin region.
The process of skin extraction works as follows:

2882
Face detection: After having the skin region the face is
isolated from that extracted skin region. Extra information
is eliminated to obtain the region of concern i.e. the facial
features region. Figure 5 represents the segmented face
region.
Features extraction phase: The second phase is the
features extraction phase. This phase receives the detected
face as the input. Once the face is detected from the
image, subsequently step is to find the features from the
face region being detected. The extracted features are:
CEyes
CNose
CLips
First of all eyes are detected using chrome and
luminance maps Fig 6 and 7. After eyes nose and lips are
extracted using a formula centered on the space existing
among both eyes.
For the features extraction purpose 7 points are
extracted resting on the face which are:
CLeft eye center
CRight eye center
CEyes midpoint
CNose tip
CLips center
CLips left corner
CLips right corner
Eye extraction: To extract the eyes from a human face
the information of dark pixels on the face are needed. As
the eyes are different from the skin colour, so using a
colour space and separating the colours could be a good
way to locate the eyes. The YCbCr colour space provides
good information about the dark and light pixels present
in an image. The colour space called YCbCr has the
tendency to demonstrate the eye area with a high Cb and
low Cr values. To detect the eye region 2 eye maps are
constructed in the YCbCr colour space which show the
pixels with high Cb and Low Cr values for the eye region
Fig. 6.
ChromaMap = 1/3 (Cb /Cr + Cb^2 + (1-Cr)^2) (9)
The luma chart is built by applying the morphological
(Sawangsri et al., 2004) operations of erosion-dilation on
the luminance component of the YCbCr image. These
operations are applied to enhance the brighter and the
darker pixels around the eye region in the luminance
component of the image.
LumaMap = Ydialte / (Yerode -1) (10)
Fig. 6: Chromamap
Fig. 7: Lumamap
Fig. 8: Eyes extraction process
The Y image is dilated and eroded by a structuring
element. Then both ChromaMap and LumaMap (Fig. 7)
are added together to make a Map. This map is further
dilated to brighten the eye pixels. The eye region is
detected by applying thresholding and erosion on the
Map.
The detected eye region is then marked and the eye
is extracted from the image. Figure 8 represents the whole
extraction process.
Nose and lips detection: The nose and lips are extracted
on the basis of distance between the two eyes. The nose
and lips are extracted by assuming that they lie at a
specific ratio of the distance between the two eyes.
Nose detection: For nose extraction the distance between
the two eyes is calculated as:

where,
D = Distance between the center points of two eyes
Lx = Left eye x coordinate
Rx = Right eye x coordinate
Ly = Left eye y coordinate
Ry = Right eye y coordinate
After having the eyes distance a formula is generated
on the basis of that distance to extract the nose. It is
assumed that nose lies at a distance of 0.55 of the eyes
distance. This is done as:
N = (My+D)*0.55 (12)
where,
N = Nose tip point
My = Eyes midpoint
D = Distance between the center points of two eyes
Lips extraction: For lips extraction the three lips points
extracted are:
CLips center point
CLips left corner point
CLips right corner point
For lips extraction the distance between the two eyes is
calculated as:
D = (13)

where,

After having the eyes distance a formula is generated
on the basis of that distance to extract the lips. For the lips
center point, it is assumed that lips lie at a distance of 0.78
of the eyes distance. This is done as:
L = (My+D)*0.78 (14)

Fig. 10: Output of features extractionphase
where,
L = Center point of lips
My = The midpoint of the space among both eyes
D = Space among the center points of two eyes
Now for lips right and left corner point’s extraction
it is analyzed that the lips corners are almost located at a
distance 0.78 of the eyes center points. These points are
extracted as:
Ll = (Ly+D)*0.78 (15)
where,
Ll = Left corner point of lips
Ly = Left eye y coordinate
D = Distance between the center points of two eyes
Similarly the right corner point of mouth is extracted as:
Lr = (Ry+D)*0.78 (16)
where,
Lr = Right corner point of mouth
Ry = Right eye y coordinate
D = Distance between the center points of two eyes
The output of this phase can be seen in Fig. 9 and Fig. 10:

Face recognition phase: The last phase of this system is
the face recognition phase. The phase makes use of two
algorithms for the recognition purpose which are:
CEigenfaces
CFisherFaces
The recognition stage makes use of extracted eyes for
the recognition process. Here a small portion of the face
is chosen to perform the recognition so that it can save the
computational time and to increase the accuracy. For this
purpose the chosen part from the face is the extracted left
eye in order to recognize individuals.
The proposed approach to face recognition takes into
account the fact that faces can be recognized using a
smaller portion of the face. For this purpose the region of
left eye is picked and a face eye space is defined. The eye
area is professed through the Eigenfaces that are the
Eigen-vectors of set of eyes of different individuals.
Most of the earlier exertion in the prospect of face
identification using Eigenfaces focus on the fact that the
faces are recognized by calculating the Eigenfaces of set
of face features i.e., the whole face was considered and
used for computing the Eigenvalues of different
individuals. The proposed approach focuses only on the
smaller region pf the face to recognize different
individuals. Due to which the computational cost and time
is efficient and reliable.
Calculating the eigenvalues: As there is a figure of
diverse persons in a library called database, there is
ensemble of different individual images creating different
points in the eye space. The eye images that are much
alike cannot be randomly distributed in the eye space
because the purpose is to differentiate different
individuals despite the fact that they may have features
that are quite alike. So in order to describe such images a
slight measurement area is needed. The chief objective of
PCA is to discover such vectors that can effectively
distribute the images in the whole area. These vectors
basically describe the eye space of different individuals.
Creation of Eigenvalues is the main thing in this
process. Once these are created the next step seems like a
pattern recognition process. There are M different training
images of eyes of different individuals whose Eigenvalues
are created and are distributed in the eye space. We have
to pick out M1 Eigenvectors which have largest
Eigenvalues associated with them. The process of
choosing these Eigenvectors is entirely dependent on the
Eigenvalues being calculated of different individuals.
Whenever an input image is received, its Eigenvalue
components are computed. A weight vector is used which
is used to define the involvement of every Eigenface in
the process of demonstrating the image to be judged.

The main purpose is to determine which included
class most closely resembles to the input image. The
concept of classes of Fisherfaces is used to differentiate
different individuals. For this purpose classes equal to the
figure of diverse persons present inside the database being
used with the system. The best suited class to the input
image is selected centered on the minimum Euclidian
distance of the class from the input image.
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
In direction to check the performance, the projected
system the database is tested against three databases
which are:
CSelf-selected AR database

individuals with illumination change

Results comparison:
Results on the self-selected AR database: For the
comparison purpose system is tested with the same
number of images i.e., 72 images, 3 images per person are
used in the existing paper. 12 males and 12 females’
images are used for this purpose and also with 30 males
and 30 females each having 3 images. Table 1, Fig. 11
(for detection and recognition rate) and Fig. 12 (for
processing time) shows that the features extraction rates
and the processing time of proposed technique is far better
than that of existing technique.
Similarly, Table 2, Fig. 11 (for detection and
recognition rate) and Fig. 12 (for processing time) show
that recognition rate and recognition time of proposed
technique is far better than that of existing technique.
In the features extraction process nose is also
extracted of all the tested images. The extraction result of
nose images (Detection rate) at 72 persons is 98 %
(Table 3):
The results on 72 images are also tested with right
eye of individuals. The results (Detection rate) using right
eye are 96% (Table 4):
Results on self-selected CVL database: The self-
selected CVL database contains 70 individuals with three
images per person. The images selected were frontal faces
with eyes visible and open. Table 5 shows that the
detection rate of facial features using proposed technique
is better than the existing technique.

CONCLUSION
Although numerous methods have been planned and
projected in the perspective of face recognition, little
work has been done on face identification based on the
facial features. In this study face detection, features
extraction and face recognition technique has been
presented. The main purpose of the system was to check
whether it is possible to efficiently recognize different
individuals using a small region of the face or not. For this

purpose the eye region of face is used to recognize
different individuals. Results were tested on three
databases. The results obtained are satisfactory and the
system can be used efficiently for recognition purpose for
different applications.
