摘要

人臉識別是一項熱門的計算機技術研究領域，它屬於生物特徵識別技術，是對生物體本身的生物特徵來區別生物體個體。生物特徵識別研究技術包括臉、指紋、掌紋、虹膜、聲音、體型、個人習慣等，相應的技術就有人臉識別、指紋識別、虹膜識別、視網膜識別、語音識別、簽字識別等。
本論文使用VQ直方圖法，這是一種簡單又可靠的人臉識別方法，通過將影像切成小塊，匹配碼向量取得索引，統計的索引為直方圖有效的個人特徵，利用二維離散小波處理、低通濾波處理、最小強度減法和VQ處理，產生直方圖，研究發現，加入同一個人的直方圖產生平均直方圖，能提升系統的識別率，將影像的尺寸適度的縮小可以提升處理速度而不影響識別率。
結果顯示，對於ORL人臉資料庫，40個人，每人10張照片，共400張圖片，每張照片在不同時間、不同光照、不同表情、不同人臉細節（戴眼鏡或者不戴眼鏡）下採集，而所有的影像均在黑暗均勻的背景下採集，人像為正面豎直人臉（部分有輕微旋轉），本論文達成的平均人臉識別率為96.2%。

Face recognition is a popular field of computer technology research which belongs to biometric identification technology, the biological can distinguish different biological by their own biological characteristics. Biometric identification techniques include face, fingerprint, palm, iris, sound, body and personal habits. The corresponding technology is face recognition, fingerprint recognition, iris recognition, retinal recognition, speech recognition and signature recognition.
This thesis uses the vector quantization (VQ) histogram method which is a simple and reliable face recognition method, by cutting the image into small pieces, and matching code vector to get indexed, and the statistical index is the effective personal feature of the histogram. Using two-dimensional discrete wavelet transform (DWT) processing, low-pass filtering processing, minimum intensity subtraction and VQ processing produce histogram. The study found that adding the same person's histogram to produce an average histogram can improve the recognition rate, and the size of the image is reduced appropriately can increase the processing speed without affecting the recognition rate.
The result shows that the ORL face database, experimental result show an average recognition rate of 96.2% for 400 images of 40 persons (10 images per person), every image collect at different times, different lighting, different expressions, different face details (wearing glasses or not wearing glasses).
