Extracting Scene-Dependent Discriminant Features for Enhancing Face Recognition under Severe Conditions
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper proposes a new method to compare similarities of candidate models that are fitted to different areas of a query image. This method extracts the discriminant features that are changed due to the varying pose/lighting condition of given query image, and the confidence of each model-fitting is evaluated based on how much of the discriminant features is captured in each foreground. The confidence is fused with the similarity to enhance the face-identification performance. In an experiment using 7,000 images of 200 subjects taken under largely varying pose and lighting conditions, our proposed method reduced the recognition errors by more than 25% compared to the conventional method.

Face Recognition by Cognitive Discriminant Features
Face recognition is still an active pattern analysis topic. Faces have already been treated as objects or textures, but human face recognition system takes a different approach in face recognition. People refer to faces by their most discriminant features. People usually describe faces in sentences like ``She's snub-nosed'' or ``he's got long nose'' or ``he's got round eyes'' and so like. These...
متن کاملFace recognition using a novel image representation scheme and multi-scale local features
This paper presents a new method for improving face recognition performance under difficult conditions. Specifically, a new image representation scheme is proposed which is derived from the YCrQ colour space using principal component analysis (PCA) followed by Fisher linear discriminant analysis (FLDA). A multi-scale local feature, LBP-DWT, is used for face representation which is computed by e...
متن کاملEfficient Discriminate Component Analysis using Support Vector Machine Classifier on Invariant Pose and Illumination Face Images
Face recognition is the process of categorizing a person in an image by evaluating with a known face image library. The pose and illumination variations are two main practical confronts for an automatic face recognition system. This study proposes a novel face recognition algorithm known as Efficient Discriminant Component Analysis (EDCA) for face recognition under varying poses and illuminatio...
متن کاملFace recognition based on the uncorrelated discriminant transformation
The extraction of discriminant features is the most fundamental and important problem in face recognition. This paper presents a method to extract optimal discriminant features for face images by using the uncorrelated discriminant transformation andKL expansion. Experiments on the ORL database and the NUST603 database have been performed. Experimental results show that the uncorrelated discrim...
متن کاملRobust Face Recognition using Local Illumination Normalization and Discriminant Feature Point Selection
Face recognition systems must be robust to the variation of various factors such as facial expression, illumination, head pose and aging. Especially, the robustness against illumination variation is one of the most important problems to be solved for the practical use of face recognition systems. Gabor wavelet is widely used in face detection and recognition because it gives the possibility to ...
