Background based Authentication for Face Recognition Systems

Abstract

Face Recognition Systems are facing several challenges. One major challenge is fooling the system using face photos or images. The proposed paper has tried developing an efficient methodology to enable and support existing face recognition systems. The background of face in a given image is considered as a main source for authentication. The analysis and estimation of similarity among the background of the face before and after its capture is considered as one of the major parameter to authenticate the presence of face during its capture. The paper is applying image similarity techniques to estimate the percentage of the background in the provided face image to ascertain the presence of physical face during face recognition process.
