Derivative Variation Pattern for Illumination-invariant Image Representation
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a novel image descriptor called Derivative Variation Pattern (DVP) and its application to face and palmprint recognition. DVP captures image variations in both the frequency and the spatial domains. The effects of uncontrolled illumination are compensated in the frequency domain by discarding the illumination affected frequencies. Image pixels are encoded as binary patterns based on the higher-order spatial derivatives computed in the spatial domain. The proposed descriptor was evaluated on the Extended Yale-B and FERET face databases, and the PolyU palmprint database. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the DVP descriptor in both the face and the palmprint recognition tasks under uncontrolled illuminations.

An Illumination Invariant Texture Based Face Recognition
Automatic face recognition remains an interesting but challenging computer vision open problem. Poor illumination is considered as one of the major issue, since illumination changes cause large variation in the facial features. To resolve this, illumination normalization preprocessing techniques are employed in this paper to enhance the face recognition rate. The methods such as Histogram Equal...

The aim of this work is to study the illumination invariant properties of an hypercomplex image representation. A quaternion description fr...
متن کاملIllumination Invariant Shot Boundary Detection
Illumination variation poses a serious problem in video shot detection. It causes false cuts in many shot detection algorithms. A new illumination invariant measure metric is proposed in this paper. The metric is based on the assumption: the outputs of derivative filters to log-illumination are sparse. Thus the outputs of derivative filters to log-image are mainly caused by the scene itself. If...

متن کاملIllumination Normalization using Quotient Image-based Techniques
This chapter focuses on correctly recognizing faces in the presence of large illumination variation. Our aim is to do this by synthesizing an illumination normalized image using Quotient Image-based techniques (Shashua et al., 2001, Wang et al., 2004, Chen et al., 2005, Nishiyama et al., 2006, Zhang et al., 2007, and An et al., 2008). These techniques extract an illumination invariant represent...
