A Comparison of PCA and ICA for Object Recognition Under Varying Illumination
نویسندگان
چکیده
An experiment is performed to evaluate the ability of two different subspace methods to recognize objects under different illumination conditions. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Independent Component Analysis (ICA) are compared for classifying 25 different objects with varying degrees of specularity under different illumination. Each object was sampled under three widely different lighting conditions to form a set of training images used to create subspaces with dimensions ranging from 10 to 30 basis vectors. The efficacy of ICA and PCA to correctly classify the objects was tested using two test images for each object under unique lighting conditions not included in the training set. The results were also determined when the images were pre-filtered with a Laplacian of Gaussian (LoG) filter. Results show that ICA techniques show promise for object recognition under varying illumination conditions.

متن کاملObject Recognition based on Local Steering Kernel and SVM
The proposed method is to recognize objects based on application of Local Steering Kernels (LSK) as Descriptors to the image patches. In order to represent the local properties of the images, patch is to be extracted where the variations occur in an image. To find the interest point, Wavelet based Salient Point detector is used. Local Steering Kernel is then applied to the resultant pixels, in ...
متن کاملAn efficient illumination normalization method for face recognition
In this paper, an efficient representation method insensitive to varying illumination is proposed for human face recognition. Theoretical analysis based on the human face model and the illumination model shows that the effects of varying lighting on a human face image can be modeled by a sequence of multiplicative and additive noises. Instead of computing these noises, which is very difficult f...

In this paper a Modular PCA based fuzzy neural network approach for face recognition is proposed. The proposed technique improves the efficiency of face recognition; it performs well under varying illumination and expression conditions and its performance is better as compared to the traditional PCA methods. In this method the face image is divided into three horizontal strips thus the face ima...
متن کاملAppearance Sampling for Obtaining A Set of Basis Images for Variable Illumination
Previous studies have demonstrated that the appearance of an object under varying illumination conditions can be represented by a low-dimensional linear subspace. A set of basis images spanning such a linear subspace can be obtained by applying the principal component analysis (PCA) for a large number of images taken under different lighting conditions. While the approaches based on PCA have be...
