In order to recognize faces, face recognition methods need to be studied. When a face is identified by the current method, the image denoising effect is poor, the face image recognition result thus has error, the time used to recognize the face image is long, the signal to noise ratio, the recognition result and the recognition efficiency are low. Based on the GA-BP neural network algorithm, a face recognition method is proposed. A mixed denoising model of face images is constructed by combining dictionary based sparse representation with non-local similarity. The principal component analysis method is used to extract the feature of the face image after denoising and staining the eigenvector of the face image. The GA-BP neural network algorithm is used to optimize the initial weights and thresholds so as to achieve the optimal value. The feature vectors of face images are ted into the genetic neural network to complete face recognition. Experimental results show that the proposed method has high signal-to-noise ratio, accuracy and recognition efficiency.
