An Effective Illumination Compensation Method for Face Recognition
نویسندگان
چکیده
Face recognition is very useful in many applications, such as safety and surveillance, intelligent robot, and computer login. The reliability and accuracy of such systems will be influenced by the variation of background illumination. Therefore, how to accomplish an effective illumination compensation method for human face image is a key technology for face recognition. Our study uses several computer vision techniques to develop an illumination compensation algorithm to processing the single channel (such as grey level or illumination intensity) face image. The proposed method mainly consists of three processing modules: (1) Homomorphic Filtering, (2) Ratio Image Generation, and (3) Anisotropic Smoothing. Experiments have shown that by applying the proposed method the human face images can be further recognized by conventional classifiers with high recognition accuracy.

متن کاملGenetic optimisation of illumination compensation methods in cascade for face recognition
Face detection and recognition depend strongly on illumination conditions. In this reported work, genetic algorithms are used to optimise parameters of the modified local normalisation and self-quotient image methods in cascade for illumination compensation to improve face recognition. The main novelty of the proposed method is that it applies to non-homogeneous as well as homogeneous illuminat...
متن کاملFace Recognition Under Illumination Variation Using Shadow Compensation and Pixel Selection
We propose a robust face recognition method under illumination variation. By using shadow compensation methods, we restore the image of a facial image taken under arbitrary illumination into an image that is similar to the image taken with frontal illumination. Then we apply a pixel selection method to these restored images in order to reduce the noise comp...

Illumination variation is one of the critical factors affecting face recognition rate. A novel approach for human face illumination compensation is presented in this paper. It constructs the nine-dimension face illumination subspace based on quotient image. In addition, with the aim to improve algorithm efficiency, a half-face illumination image is proposed and the low-dimension training set of...
