Within the actions of scientific and cultural activity for the first semester of the Department of Electrical Engineering for the academic year 2017-2018, Dr. Iyad Ibrahim Abbas, Dr.. Khaleda Shaaban Rajab and Mr. Mohamed Ehsan  delivered a lecture entitled (Different ways of classification in face recognition) on Monday, 25/12/2017 on the Hall of Dijlah in the presence of the Head of the Department of Electrical Engineering, Assist. Prof. Dr. Dari Yousef Mahmoud, Scientific and Administrative Deputies and Heads of Scientific Branches and a number of teachers and employees Section .

 The seminar dealt with three methods adopted to distinguish the faces, namely Euclidean distance method, Euclidean quadrature method and finally the distance prevention method. A database was built to process 100 images of different faces of human beings and to obtain features for each face using the basic components analysis algorithm, thus inserting the face to be distinguished within the methods adopted for classification. The faces used in training and testing are based on the ORL face database. And then tested on the three methods adopted to distinguish faces Euclidean distance method and the method of square Euclidean distance and finally the method of distance prevention. The results showed a 100% discrimination rate for the conventional distance quadratic method, 98% for the Euclidean distance method and 95% for the distance-blocking method.

At the end of the seminar, the discussion was opened and the questions and inquiries were answered.
