(2014) investigated the impact of noise on the clarity of pictures in facial recognition procedures. They offer a solution to the problem by combining two algorithms, leading to 78% clarity. Whilst this is an improvement over the current solution of 72%, the noise level is still unacceptably high. It would, therefore, seem that the combination of algorithms does not offer further possibilities for improvement. Further algorithm-based research … 2.3 Describe the first current best selected solution ; discuss the most important features; justify why you think it is good and what the contribution is to the field of research. Draw the diagram (Model) of it to simulate it Discuss the limitations; justify why you think these are limitations and how this fits into your own research. 3. Conclusion (150-200 words) Summarise the key findings from the literature review (positive); restate the limitations; based on these limitations, justify your research proposal. 4.
