Converting Thermal Infrared Face Images into Normal Gray-Level Images
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we address the problem of producing visible spectrum facial images as we normally see by using thermal infrared images. We apply Canonical Correlation Analysis (CCA) to extract the features, converting a many-to-many mapping between infrared and visible images into a one-to-one mapping approximately. Then we learn the relationship between two feature spaces in which the visible features are inferred from the corresponding infrared features using Locally-Linear Regression (LLR) or, what is called, Sophisticated LLE, and a Locally Linear Embedding (LLE) method is used to recover a visible image from the inferred features, recovering some information lost in the infrared image. Experiments demonstrate that our method maintains the global facial structure and infers many local facial details from the thermal infrared images.

Face Recognition from Profiles Using Morphological Signature Transform
A new method for face recognition using profile gray-level images based on the morphological signature transform (MST) is presented in this paper. Gray-level image of profile is thresholded to produce a binary, black and white image. The method is based on the successive morphological erosions of the input profile at different resolutions by primary and rotated structuring elements. The areas o...
متن کاملA New Algorithm for Skin Lesion Border Detection in Dermoscopy Images
Background: With advances in medical imaging systems, digital dermoscopy has become one of the major imaging modalities in the analysis of skin lesions. Thus, automated segmentation or border detection has a great impact on the subsequent steps of skin cancer computer-aided diagnosis using demoscopy images. Since dermoscopy images suffer from artifacts such as shading and hair, there is a need ...
متن کاملPedestrian Detection in Infrared Outdoor Images Based on Atmospheric Situation Estimation
Observation in absolute darkness and daytime under every atmospheric situation is one of the advantages of thermal imaging systems. In spite of increasing trend of using these systems, there are still lots of difficulties in analysing thermal images due to the variable features of pedestrians and atmospheric situations. In this paper an efficient method is proposed for detecting pedestrians in ...
متن کاملFace Recognition in Thermal Images based on Sparse Classifier
Despite recent advances in face recognition systems, they suffer from serious problems because of the extensive types of changes in human face (changes like light, glasses, head tilt, different emotional modes). Each one of these factors can significantly reduce the face recognition accuracy. Several methods have been proposed by researchers to overcome these problems. Nonetheless, in recent ye...
متن کاملFusion of Thermal Infrared and Visible Images Based on Multi-scale Transform and Sparse Representation
Due to the differences between the visible and thermal infrared images, combination of these two types of images is essential for better understanding the characteristics of targets and the environment. Thermal infrared images have most importance to distinguish targets from the background based on the radiation differences, which work well in all-weather and day/night conditions also in land s...
