RECOGNITION OF SURGICALLY ALTERED FACE IMAGES

Maharashtra, India ---------------------------------------------------------------------***--------------------------------------------------------------------Abstract Plastic surgery procedures provide a procuring way to enhance the facial appearance by correcting efficient and feature anomalies and treating facial skin to get a younger look. The effects of change in illumination direction, plastic surgery procedures induce intra face (face image versions of the same person) dissimilarity, which are obstruction to robust face recognition. The most challenging task for face recognition in these application scenarios is the development of robust face recognition systems. In this research, we have designed a multiple granular algorithm to match face images of a person before and after his plastic surgery. A total of 40 face granules are extracted from each of the images and the granules are compared. Based on the comparison of the two images a decision is made.
