Abstract

For robust face recognition, A novel hybrid approach is present in this paper. This hybrid system is a combination of Multi-task Cascaded Convolutional Neural Networks (MTCNN). This combined system use Deep Ladder Imputation Networks (DLIN). In face detection and alignment, MTCNN technique has demonstrated significant success. But the handling, missing or occluded facial features remains prevalent in real-world applications is a real challenge. To overcome on it we use integrating DLIN. Through deep learning-based imputation, we can effectively reconstruct missing facial features. The Labelled Faces in the Wild (LFW) dataset evaluate by comprising 13,000+ images of 5,749 individuals. It demonstrates the effectiveness of this hybrid approach. By using this technique, we improved recognition accuracy under challenging conditions including and incomplete facial data, occlusions and varying poses. Face recognition technologies have transformed the way various industries address identity verification, security and personalization. Among these technologies, the MTCNN and deep ladder imputation network have emerged as pivotal tool in advancing the accuracy and reliability of face recognition, by employing a three-stage cascade framework that enhances feature detection capabilities. During this deep ladder imputation network point out the provocation of missing data and ensure that incomplete dataset should not hamper the recognition process. This system improves the accuracy of face recognition tasks. Also, it open opportunities for multidisciplinary applications. Like security systems to customized marketing solutions.
