一种基于小波的人脸图像光照归一化算法

光照变化严重影响了人脸图像的外貌,这阻碍了人脸识别的过程。为了识别可变光照下的人脸图像,提出了一种基于小波的光照归一化算法,将一幅图像分解为低频成分和高频成分,对不同的频带成分进行不同的操作——对低频成分进行直方图均衡化,同时着重强调细节（高频成分）,将它乘以一个标量从而增强图像边缘;对修改后的系数进行逆小波变换就得到归一化后的图像。最后,直接使用PCA方法对单训练样本条件下的人脸进行识别,在AR和FERRET人脸库上的实验结果表明,提出的方法可以显著提高人脸识别系统的识别率。

Properties and some fast algorithms of the Haar transform in image processing and pattern recognition

Properties of the Haar transform in image processing and pattern recognition are investigated. A lower bound of the performance of the Haar transform relative to that of the Karhunen-Loeve transform for first-order Markov processes is found. It is proved that the Haar transform is inferior to the Walsh-Hadamard transform for such processes. A unique condition is presented which, if satisfied by the elements of a matrix, will make the Karhunen-Loeve transform of the matrix and the Haar transform equivalent. Some fast algorithms are given to realize the diagonal elements of a Haar transformed matrix.

Pseudo two-dimensional shape normalization methods for handwritten Chinese character recognition

The nonlinear normalization (NLN) method based on line density equalization is popularly used in handwritten Chinese character recognition. To overcome the insufficient shape restoration capability of one-dimensional NLN, a pseudo two-dimensional NLN (P2DNLN) method has been proposed and has yielded higher recognition accuracy. The P2DNLN method, however, is very computationally expensive because of the line density blurring of each row/column. In this paper, we propose a new pseudo 2D normalization method using line density projection interpolation (LDPI), which partitions the line density map into soft strips and generate 2D coordinate mapping function by interpolating the 1D coordinate functions that are obtained by equalizing the line density projections of these strips. The LDPI method adds little computational overhead to one-dimensional NLN yet performs comparably well with P2DNLN. We also apply this strategy to extending other normalization methods, including line density projection fitting, centroid-boundary alignment, moment, and bi-moment methods. The latter three methods are directly based on character image instead of line density map. Their 2D extensions provide real-time computation and high recognition accuracy, and are potentially applicable to gray-scale images and online trajectories.

正则化最近点优化图像集匹配的三维人脸识别

针对传统的三维人脸识别算法受光照、表情、姿态及遮掩等变化而影响识别性能的问题,提出了一种基于正则化最近点优化图像集匹配算法。将图库图像集和探针图像集建模成正则化仿射包,利用迭代器自动确定两个图像集间的正则化最近点;利用最近子空间分类器最小化正则化最近点;根据正则化最近点之间的欧氏距离及结构计算RNP集之间的距离,利用最近邻分类器完成人脸的识别。在Honda/UCSD、BU4DFE两大视频人脸数据库上的实验验证了该算法的有效性及可靠性,实验结果表明,相比其他几种较为先进的三维人脸识别算法,该算法取得了更好的识别效果,同时,大大减少了训练及测试总完成时间。     

Using eigencolor normalization for illumination-invariant color object recognition

Color is one of salient features for color object recognition, however, the colors of object images sensitively depend on scene illumination. To overcome the lighting dependency problem, a color constancy or color normalization method has to be used. This paper presents a color image normalization method, called eigencolor normalization, which consists of two phases as follows. First, the compacting method, which was originally used for compensating the adverse effect due to shape distortion for 2-D planar objects, is exploited for 3-D color space to make the color distribution less correlated and more compact. Second, the compact color image is further normalized by rotating the histogram to align with the reference axis computed. Consequently, the object colors are transformed into a new color space, called eigencolor space, which reflects the inherent colors of the object and is more invariant to illumination changes. Experimental results show that our eigencolor normalization method is superior to other existing color constancy or color normalization schemes on achieving more accurate color object recognition.
