Robust color image retrieval using visual interest point feature of significant bit-planes

In this paper, we propose a robust color image retrieval method using visual interest point feature of significant bit-planes. We firstly extract the visually significant bit-plane image from the original color image according to the bit-plane theory and noise attack characteristic. And then, we extract the visual interest points from the original color image by using the significant bit-plane image and multi-scale Harris–Laplace detector, and construct the fuzzy color histogram of visual interest points. We finally compute the similarity between color images by using the fuzzy color histogram of visual interest points. Experiments on large databases show that the proposed algorithm is significantly more effective than the state-of-the-art approaches. Especially, it can retrieve the noise-attacked (including blurring, sharpening, and illumination, etc.) image effectively.

A novel illumination-robust face recognition using statistical and non-statistical method

This paper proposes a novel illumination-robust face recognition technique that combines the statistical global illumination transformation and the non-statistical local face representation methods. When a new face image with arbitrary illumination is given, it is transformed into a number of face images exhibiting different illuminations using a statistical bilinear model-based indirect illumination transformation. Each illumination transformed image is then represented by a histogram sequence that concatenates the histograms of the non-statistical multi-resolution uniform local Gabor binary patterns (MULGBP) for all the local regions. This is facilitated by dividing the input image into several regular local regions, converting each local region using several Gabor filters, and converting each Gabor filtered region image into multi-resolution local binary patterns (MULBP). Finally, face recognition is performed by a simple histogram matching process. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed face recognition method is highly robust to illumination variation as exhibited in the real environment.     

Illuminant Aware Gamut‐Based Color Transfer

This paper proposes a new approach for color transfer between two images. Our method is unique in its consideration of the scene illumination and the constraint that the mapped image must be within the color gamut of the target image. Specifically, our approach first performs a white‐balance step on both images to remove color casts caused by different illuminations in the source and target image. We then align each image to share the same ‘white axis’ and perform a gradient preserving histogram matching technique along this axis to match the tone distribution between the two images. We show that this illuminant‐aware strategy gives a better result than directly working with the original source and target image's luminance channel as done by many previous methods. Afterwards, our method performs a full gamut‐based mapping technique rather than processing each channel separately. This guarantees that the colors of our transferred image lie within the target gamut. Our experimental results show that this combined illuminant‐aware and gamut‐based strategy produces more compelling results than previous methods. We detail our approach and demonstrate its effectiveness on a number of examples.     

Linear color segmentation and its implementation

A framework for color image segmentation is presented, which combines color histogram analysis and region merging approach. Its main goal is to segment an image at material boundaries (i.e., discontinuities of reflectance properties) while ignoring spatial color inhomogeneities of uniformly pigmented (colored) objects, caused by accidents of illumination and viewing geometry. Theoretical examination of light spectrum transformations upon light reflection from material surfaces and upon interaction with a sensor system shows that in a wide variety of viewed scenes (even containing interreflections and highlight areas) uniformly pigmented objects are projected to the color space of the sensor as planar, linear, or point-like clusters, depending on lighting and viewing conditions and object geometry. To detect such clusters in the color space, three methods are suggested: Generalized Hough Transform method, gradient descent method, and eigenvectors method. A framework algorithm of color segmentation based on region merging approach is developed, which can use any of these methods. Testing this algorithm with both artificially generated and real images shows quite reliable results.

Face recognition under varying illumination based on a 2D face shape model

This paper proposes a novel illumination compensation algorithm, which can compensate for the uneven illuminations on human faces and reconstruct face images in normal lighting conditions. A simple yet effective local contrast enhancement method, namely block-based histogram equalization (BHE), is first proposed. The resulting image processed using BHE is then compared with the original face image processed using histogram equalization (HE) to estimate the category of its light source. In our scheme, we divide the light source for a human face into 65 categories. Based on the category identified, a corresponding lighting compensation model is used to reconstruct an image that will visually be under normal illumination. In order to eliminate the influence of uneven illumination while retaining the shape information about a human face, a 2D face shape model is used. Experimental results show that, with the use of principal component analysis for face recognition, the recognition rate can be improved by 53.3% to 62.6% when our proposed algorithm for lighting compensation is used.
