This paper presents a new face recognition algorithm that is insensitive to variations in lighting conditions. In the proposed
algorithm, the MCT (Modified Census Transform) was embedded to extract the local facial features that are invariant under
illumination changes. In this study, we also employed an appearance-based method to incorporate both local and global features.
First, input facial images are transformed by the MCT and a bit string from the MCT is converted to a decimal number to generate
an MCT domain image. This domain image is recognized using principle component analysis (PCA) or linear discriminate analysis
(LDA). Experimental results reveal that the recognition rate of the proposed approach is better than that of conventional
appearance-based algorithms by approximately 20% for the Yale B database, in the case of severe variations in illumination
conditions. We also found that the proposed algorithm yields better performance for the Yale database for various face expressions,
eye-wear, and lighting conditions. 相似文献

Total variation models for variable lighting face recognition 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

In this paper, we present the logarithmic total variation (LTV) model for face recognition under varying illumination, including natural lighting conditions, where we rarely know the strength, direction, or number of light sources. The proposed LTV model has the ability to factorize a single face image and obtain the illumination invariant facial structure, which is then used for face recognition. Our model is inspired by the SQI model but has better edge-preserving ability and simpler parameter selection. The merit of this model is that neither does it require any lighting assumption nor does it need any training. The LTV model reaches very high recognition rates in the tests using both Yale and CMU PIE face databases as well as a face database containing 765 subjects under outdoor lighting conditions. 相似文献

The appearance of a face image is severely affected by illumination conditions that will hinder the automatic face recognition process. To recognize faces under varying lighting conditions, a homomorphic filtering-based illumination normalization method is proposed in this paper. In this work, the effect of illumination is effectively reduced by a modified implementation of homomorphic filtering whose key component is a Difference of Gaussian (DoG) filter, and the contrast is enhanced by histogram equalization. The resulted face image is not only reduced illumination effect but also preserved edges and details that will facilitate the further face recognition task. Among others, our method has the following advantages: (1) neither does it need any prior information of 3D shape or light sources, nor many training samples thus can be directly applied to single training image per person condition; and (2) it is simple and computationally fast because there are mature and fast algorithms for the Fourier transform used in homomorphic filter. The Eigenfaces method is chosen to recognize the normalized face images. Experimental results on the Yale face database B and the CMU PIE face database demonstrate the significant performance improvement of the proposed method in the face recognition system for the face images with large illumination variations. 相似文献

基于球面谐波基图像的任意光照下的人脸识别 总被引:13,自引:0,他引:13
提出了一种基于球面谐波基图像的光照补偿算法,用以在任意光照条件下进行人脸识别.算法分两步进行:光照估计和光照补偿.基于人脸形状大致相同和每个人脸的反射率基本相等的假设,首先估计了输入人脸图像光照的9个低频谐波系数.根据光照估计的结果,提出了两种光照补偿方法:纹理图像和差图像.纹理图像为输入图像与其光照辐照图之商,与输入图像的光照条件无关.差图像为输入图像与平均人脸在相同光照下的图像之差,通过减去平均人脸在相同光照下的图像,减弱了光照的影响.在CMU-PIE人脸库和Yale B人脸库上的实验表明,通过光照补偿,不同光照下人脸图像识别率有了很大提高. 相似文献

A generalized neural reflectance (GNR) model for enhancing face recognition under variations in illumination and posture is
presented in this paper. Our work is based on training a number of synthesis images of each face taken at single lighting
direction with frontal/posture view. This way of synthesizing images can be used to build training cases for each face under
different known illumination conditions from which face recognition can be significantly improved. However, reconstructing
face shape may not easily be achieved and the human face images usually form by highly complex structure which suffers from
strong specular and unknown reflective conditions. In this paper, these limitations are addressed by Cho and Chow (IEEE Trans
Neural Netw 12(5):1204–1214, 2002). Face surfaces are recovered by this GNR model and face images in different poses are synthesized
to create a database for training. Our training algorithm assigns to recognize the face identity by similarity measure on
face features extracting first by the principle component analysis (PCA) method and then further processing by the Fisher’s
discrimination analysis (FDA) to acquire lower dimensional patterns. Experimental results conducted on the Yale Face Database
B show that lower error rates of classification and recognition are achieved under different variations in lighting and pose
and the performance significantly outperforms the recognition without using the proposed GNR model. 相似文献

Illumination compensation and normalization for robust face recognition using discrete cosine transform in logarithm domain. 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7

This paper presents a novel illumination normalization approach for face recognition under varying lighting conditions. In the proposed approach, a discrete cosine transform (DCT) is employed to compensate for illumination variations in the logarithm domain. Since illumination variations mainly lie in the low-frequency band, an appropriate number of DCT coefficients are truncated to minimize variations under different lighting conditions. Experimental results on the Yale B database and CMU PIE database show that the proposed approach improves the performance significantly for the face images with large illumination variations. Moreover, the advantage of our approach is that it does not require any modeling steps and can be easily implemented in a real-time face recognition system. 相似文献

在光照变化的环境下,人脸识别因受到光照强度和方向的非线性干扰而变得困难重重。在人脸局部区域,光照的变化比较缓慢,而皮肤对光照的反射率特征变化比较快,可以认为光照变化是低频信号,而人脸本质特征是高频信号。FABEMD是一种快速自适应的BEMD(Bidimensional Empirical Mode Decomposition,二维经验模式分解)方法,它能够将图像分解为不同尺度的高频图像和低频图像,高频图像代表了人脸皮肤细节纹理特征,而低频图像则代表了轮廓特征。但是并不能定量判别什么样的高频信号以及多少高频信号能够用来消除光照影响,所以提出了两种衡量高频细节信息量的方法,将这些信息量的相对值来推算融合不同尺度的高频信号权重系数。基于Yale B人脸数据库的实验数据证明了所提方法能够取得很好的识别效果。 相似文献

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 the face image under different illumination conditions are obtained by means of PCA and wavelet transform. After processing, two different illumination compensation strategies are given: one is adding light, and the other is removing light. Based on the illumination compensation strategy, we implement the typical illumination sample image synthesis and the standard illumination sample image synthesis on a PCA feature subspace and a wavelet transform subspace, respectively, and the illumination compensation of the gray images and the color images are further realized. Experimental results based on the Yale Face Database B, the Extended Yale Face Database B and the CAS-PEAL Face Database indicate that execution time after compensation is approximately half the time and face recognition rate is improved by 20% compared with that of the original images. 相似文献

To eliminate the effects of illumination variation, the conventional approaches firstly produce a compensation-based face image under standard illumination from the input image and then match the image with the face templates in a database. This method is not inapplicable to the input image with large illumination variation. Therefore, a novel method for varying illumination conditions is proposed. Firstly, the quotient image method is improved. Then, the nine basis images of each subject are generated by the improved quotient image method. Thirdly, one new image of each subject under the same lighting conditions with an input image is synthesized by the corresponding basis images. Finally, the synthetic images and the input image are projected to PCA plane to fulfill the recognition task. The experimental results show that the proposed approach can eliminate the effects of illumination variation and have a high recognition rate in the illumination conditions with remarkable changes. 相似文献

Recognizing human faces in various lighting conditions is quite a difficult problem. The problem becomes more difficult when face images are taken in extremely high dynamic range scenes. Most of the automatic face recognition systems assume that images are taken under well-controlled illumination. The face segmentation as well as recognition becomes much simpler under such a constrained condition. However, illumination control is not feasible when a surveillance system is installed in any location at will. Without compensating for uneven illumination, it is impossible to get a satisfactory recognition rate. In this paper, we propose an integrated system that first compensates uneven illumination through local contrast enhancement. Then the enhanced images are fed into a robust face recognition system which adaptively selects the most important features among all candidate features and performs classification by support vector machines (SVMs). The dimension of feature space as well as the selected types of features is customized for each hyperplane. Three face image databases, namely Yale, Yale Group B, and Extended Yale Group B, are used to evaluate performance. The experimental result shows that the proposed recognition system give superior results compared to recently published literatures. 相似文献

对于人脸图像识别中光照变化的影响,传统的解决方法是对待识别图像进行光照补偿,先使它成为标准光照条件下的图像,然后和模板图像匹配来进行识别。为了提高在光照条件大范围变化时,人脸图像的识别率,提出了一种新的可变光照条件下的人脸图像识别方法。该方法首先利用在9个基本光照方向下分别获得的9幅图像来构成人脸光照特征空间,再通过这个光照特征空间,将图像库中的人脸图像变换成与待识别图像具有相同光照条件的图像,并将其作为模板图像;然后利用特征脸方法进行识别。实验结果表明,这种方法不仅能够有效地解决人脸识别中由于光照变化影响所造成的识别率下降的问题,而且对于光照条件大范围变化的情况,也可以得到比较高的正确识别率。 相似文献
