Genetic optimisation of illumination compensation methods in cascade for face recognition
نویسندگان
چکیده
Face detection and recognition depend strongly on illumination conditions. In this reported work, genetic algorithms are used to optimise parameters of the modified local normalisation and self-quotient image methods in cascade for illumination compensation to improve face recognition. The main novelty of the proposed method is that it applies to non-homogeneous as well as homogeneous illumination conditions. The results are compared to those of the best illumination compensation methods published in the literature, obtaining 100% recognition on faces with non-homogeneous illumination and significantly better results than other methods with homogeneous illumination.

Face Recognition Under Illumination Variation Using Shadow Compensation and Pixel Selection
We propose a robust face recognition method under illumination variation. By using shadow compensation methods, we restore the image of a facial image taken under arbitrary illumination into an image that is similar to the image taken with frontal illumination. Then we apply a pixel selection method to these restored images in order to reduce the noise comp...

In this paper we will propose a simple modification of standard homomorphic filtering technique and thus significantly improve face recognition performance on images with difficult illumination conditions. We will also give a detailed theoretical description of a homomorphic filter and compare our proposed method to common illumination compensation techniques used in face recognition literature...
متن کاملShadow compensation in 2D images for face recognition
Illumination variation that occurs on face images degrades the performance of face recognition. In this paper, we propose a novel approach to handling illumination variation for face recognition. Since most human faces are similar in shape, we can find the shadow characteristics, which the illumination variation makes on the faces depending on the direction of light. By using these characterist...
متن کاملA method of illumination compensation for human face image based on quotient image
Illumination variation is one of the critical factors affecting face recognition rate. A novel approach for human face illumination compensation is presented in this paper. It constructs the nine-dimension face illumination subspace based on quotient image. In addition, with the aim to improve algorithm efficiency, a half-face illumination image is proposed and the low-dimension training set of...
متن کاملIllumination Compensation and Enhancement for Face Recognition
Face images of the same person under different illuminations represent a challenge for face recognition. Traditional methods based on the Lambertian model construct a face image invariant to illuminations by combining a number of the images of different illuminations linearly. A drawback with the Lambertian model is that a single-point light source placed at infinity is assumed. This paper prop...
