Face Recognition with LWIR Imagery Using Local Binary Patterns
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, the performance of Local Binary Patterns method is evaluated in face recognition with long-wave infrared images. Long-wave infrared images are invariant to illumination conditions, but at the same time are affected by a fixed-pattern noise inherent to this technology. The fixed-pattern noise usually is compensated with a nonuniformity correction method. Here, the robustness of Local Binary Patterns to the fixed-pattern noise in long-wave infrared images is shown, even in the presence of glasses, without the application of any preprocessing or correction technique. Contrary, if a non-uniformity correction method is applied, the image texture is affected and the performance of the Local Binary Patterns method decreases.

متن کاملAutomatic Face Recognition via Local Directional Patterns
Automatic facial recognition has many potential applications in different areas of humancomputer interaction. However, they are not yet fully realized due to the lack of an effectivefacial feature descriptor. In this paper, we present a new appearance based feature descriptor,the local directional pattern (LDP), to represent facial geometry and analyze its performance inrecognition. An LDP feat...
متن کاملIllumination Invariant Face Recognition Using Thermal Infrared Imagery
A key problem for face recognition has been accurate identification under variable illumination conditions. Conventional video cameras sense reflected light so that image grayvalues are a product of both intrinsic skin reflectivity and external incident illumination, thus obfuscating the intrinsic reflectivity of skin. Thermal emission from skin, on the other hand, is an intrinsic measurement t...
