Human Face Detection under Complex Lighting Conditions

Human Face Detection under Complex Lighting Conditions

This paper presents a novel method for detecting human faces in an image with complex backgrounds. The approach is based on visual information of the face from the template image and is commenced with the estimation of the face area in the given image. As the genetic algorithm is a computationally expensive process, the searching space for possible face regions is limited to possible facial fea...

Face Recognition System under Varying Lighting Conditions

Making recognition more reliable under uncontrolled lighting conditions is one of the most important challenges for practical face recognition systems. Other recognition systems don’t nullify most of the lighting variations. We tackle this by combining the strengths of robust illumination normalization, local texture-based face representations, distance transform based matching and kernel based...

Face Recognition under Difficult Lighting Conditions and Occlusions

In recent years face recognition has received substantial attention from researchers in biometrics, pattern recognition, and computer vision communities. At least two reasons account for this trend: the first is the wide range of commercial and law enforcement applications, and the second is the availability of feasible technologies in recent years of research. Many existing methods in face rec...
