Estimation of pose and illuminant direction for face processing
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper three problems related to the analysis of facial images are addressed: the estimation of the illuminant direction, the compensation of illumination eeects and, nally, the recovery of the pose of the face, restricted to in-depth rotations. The solutions proposed for these problems rely on the use of computer graphics techniques to provide images of faces under diierent illumination and pose, starting from a database of frontal views under frontal illumination.

Illuminant direction estimation for a single image based on local region complexity analysis and average gray value.
Illuminant direction estimation is an important research issue in the field of image processing. Due to low cost for getting texture information from a single image, it is worthwhile to estimate illuminant direction by employing scenario texture information. This paper proposes a novel computation method to estimate illuminant direction on both color outdoor images and the extended Yale face da...
متن کاملIllumination Normalization of Face Image Based on Illuminant Direction Estimation and Improved Retinex
Illumination normalization of face image for face recognition and facial expression recognition is one of the most frequent and difficult problems in image processing. In order to obtain a face image with normal illumination, our method firstly divides the input face image into sixteen local regions and calculates the edge level percentage in each of them. Secondly, three local regions, which m...

متن کاملEstimation of illuminant direction, albedo, and shape from shading
A robust approach to recovery of shape from shading information is presented. Assuming uniform albedo and Lambertian surface for the imaging model, we first present methods for the estimation of illuminant direction and surface albedo. The illuminant azimuth is estimated by averaging local estimates. The illuminant elevation and surface albedo are estimated from image statistics. Using the esti...
