نویسنده

  • Mariusz Leszczyński
چکیده

Performance of the face verification system depend on many conditions. One of the most problematic is varying illumination condition. In this paper 14 normalization algorithms based on histogram normalization, illumination properties and the human perception theory were compared using 3 verification methods. The results obtained from the experiments showed that the illumination preprocessing methods significantly improves the verification rate and it’s a very important step in face verification system. Keywords—DLDA, face verification, histogram normalization, homomorphic filtering, illumination normalization, LDA, PCA, preprocessing techniques, quotient image, retinex.

Efficient Diffusion-based Illumination Normalization for Face Verification

In this paper, the problem of face verification across illumination is addressed. In order to cope with different lighting conditions, a preprocessing step is applied to the face image so as to make it independent on the illumination conditions. The illuminant invariant representation of the image is obtained by first applying an anisotropic diffusion process to the original image (Gross and Br...

An Image Preprocessing Algorithm for Illumination Invariant Face Recognition

Face recognition algorithms have to deal with significant amounts of illumination variations between gallery and probe images. State-of-the-art commercial face recognition algorithms still struggle with this problem. We propose a new image preprocessing algorithm that compensates for illumination variations in images. From a single brightness image the algorithm first estimates the illumination...

A Study on the Effective Approach to Illumination-Invariant Face Recognition Based on a Single Image

In this paper, the methods for single image-based face recognition under varying lighting are reviewed. Meanwhile, some representative methods as well as their combinations are evaluated by experiments, and the underlying principle of the experimental results is investigated. According to our investigation, it is almost impossible to attain a satisfied face recognition result by using only one ...
