Heterogeneous Face Recognition from Local Structures of Normalized Appearance
نویسندگان
چکیده
Heterogeneous face images come from different lighting conditions or different imaging devices, such as visible light (VIS) and near infrared (NIR) based. Because heterogeneous face images can have different skin spectra-optical properties, direct appearance based matching is no longer appropriate for solving the problem. Hence we need to find facial features common in heterogeneous images. For this, first we use Difference-of-Gaussian filtering to obtain a normalized appearance for all heterogeneous faces. We then apply MB-LBP, an extension of LBP operator, to encode the local image structures in the transformed domain, and further learn the most discriminant local features for recognition. Experiments show that the proposed method significantly outperforms existing ones in matching between VIS and NIR face images.

Disguised Face Recognition by Using Local Phase Quantization and Singular Value Decomposition
Disguised face recognition is a major challenge in the field of face recognition which has been taken less attention. Therefore, in this paper a disguised face recognition algorithm based on Local Phase Quantization (LPQ) method and Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) is presented which deals with two main challenges. The first challenge is when an individual intentionally alters the appearance ...
متن کاملAutomatic Face Recognition via Local Directional Patterns
Automatic facial recognition has many potential applications in different areas of humancomputer interaction. However, they are not yet fully realized due to the lack of an effectivefacial feature descriptor. In this paper, we present a new appearance based feature descriptor,the local directional pattern (LDP), to represent facial geometry and analyze its performance inrecognition. An LDP feat...

We focused this work on handling variation in facial appearance caused by 3D head pose. A pose normalization approach based on fitting active appearance models (AAM) on a given face image was investigated. Profile faces with different rotation angles in depth were warped into shape-free frontal view faces. Face recognition experiments were carried out on the pose normalized facial images with a...
متن کاملAnalysis of Local Appearance - based Face Recognition
In this paper, the effects of feature selection and feature normalization to the performance of a local appearance based face recognition scheme are presented. From the local features that are extracted using block-based discrete cosine transform, three feature sets are derived. These local feature vectors are normalized in two different ways; by making them unit norm and by dividing each coeff...
