In this paper, we investigate the use of Genetic and Evolutionary Computations (GECs) for feature selection (GEFeS), weighting (GEFeW), and hybrid weighting/selection (GEFeWS) in an attempt to increase recognition accuracy as well as reduce the number of features needed for biometric recognition. These GEC-based methods were first applied to a subset of 105 subjects taken from the Facial Recognition Grand Challenge (FRGC) dataset (FRGC-105) where several feature masks were evolved. The resulting feature masks were then tested on a larger subset taken from the FRGC dataset (FRGC-209) in an effort to investigate how well they generalise to unseen subjects. The results suggest that our GEC-based methods are effective in increasing the recognition accuracy and reducing the features needed for recognition. In addition, the evolved FRGC-105 feature masks generalised well on the unseen subjects within the FRGC-209 dataset. |
