Evaluation and Enhancement of the AFIT Autonomous Face Recognition Machine.

Abstract

This thesis evaluates and improves the Autonomous Face Recognition Machine (AFRM) created in 1985 at AFIT. This effort involved re-writing the AFRM code in the C programming Language and hosting it on a Mirco-VAX II. In addition, several new algorithms were added to the AFRM including: brightness normalization of input images, moving target detection, and a new face location algorithm. The results of this effort include: improved face location, higher recognition accuracy, and near real-time processing. This thesis includes a complete description of the AFRM and its development history. Keywords: Computers, Image processing, Artificial, Image segmentation.
