Research on Fast Face Retrieval Optimization Algorithm Based on Fuzzy Clustering

Abstract

Aiming at the problem of long retrieval time for massive face image databases under a given threshold, a fast retrieval algorithm for massive face images based on fuzzy clustering is proposed. The algorithm builds a deep convolutional neural network model. The model can be used to extract features from face photos to obtain a high-dimensional vector to represent the high-level semantic features of face photos. On this basis, the fuzzy clustering algorithm is used to perform fuzzy clustering on the feature vectors of the face database to construct a retrieval pedigree map. When the threshold is passed in for database retrieval of the target face photos, the pedigree map can be quickly retrieved. Experiments on the LFW face dataset and self-collected face dataset show that the model is better than the commonly used K-means model in face recognition accuracy, clustering effect, and retrieval speed and has certain commercial value.
