VIOLA JONES AND SIFT FRAMEWORK FOR FACE RECOGNITION

Faces are highly deformable objects which can easily change their appearance over time. All face areas are not subjected to the same variability. Hence decoupling the information from independent areas of the face is of much importance to improve the robustness and efficiency of any face recognition technique.So in this paper the SIFT (Scale Invariant Feature Transform) and Viola Jones Framework is proposed for efficient face recognition using Nearest neighbor classifier. The proposed framework works efficiently on ORL face dataset even under the challenges of varying expression, varying pose, occlusion with the recognition rate of 90%. KEYWORDS
