Illumination normalization for robust face recognition against varying lighting conditions
Abstract
Evaluations of the state-of-the-art of both academic face recognition algorithms and commercial systems have shown that recognition performance of most current technologies degrades due to the variations of illumination. We investigate several illumination normalization methods and propose some novel solutions. The main contribution includes: (1) A gamma intensity correction (GIC) method is proposed to normalize the overall image intensity at the given illumination level; (2) A region-based strategy combining GIC and the histogram equalization (HE) is proposed to further eliminate the side-lighting effect; (3) A quotient illumination relighting (QIR) method is presented to synthesize images under a predefined normal lighting condition from the provided face images captured under nonnormal lighting condition. These methods are evaluated and compared on the Yale illumination face database B and Harvard illumination face database. Considerable improvements are observed. Some conclusions are given at last.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
