چکیده

We have proposed a decomposition of the eigenface into two orthogonal eigenspaces and have shown that the decomposition is effective for realizing robust face recognition under various lighting conditions [lo]. The present paper refines the decomposed eigenface method by introducing a projection-based image correction. The image correction technique is principally authorized when the object shape is fixed and a sufficient number of images are taken beforehand. However, the proposed technique can also be applied to a canonical eigenspace, which is constructed from several faces taken under various lighting conditions. Reflective noises, shadows and occlusions are detected and corrected by the projection of a facial image onto the canonical eigenface. Based on the newly proposed image correction, we develop herein a refined decomposed eigenface method. The experimental results indicate that the refinement works well for face recognition under various lighting conditions, as compared to the original decomposed eigenface method.

A New Approach for Face Recognition under varying Conditions using TV and eHMM

In this paper, we propose a novel hybrid approach for face recognition under varying illumination using total variation (TV) minimization and an embedded hidden Markov model (eHMM). A total variation model is a technique for noise reduction under which it is minimized. It can be used to overcome the problem of varying illumination by normalizing a raw face image with a TV technique. We obtain a...

Natural Image Correction by Iterative Projections to Eigenspace Constructed in Normalized Image Space

Image correction is discussed for realizing both effective object recognition and realistiic image-based rendering. Three image normalizations are compared in relation with the linear subspaces and eigenspaces, and we conclude that the normalization by LI-norm, which normalizes the total sum of intensities, is the best for our pwyoses. Based on noise analysis in the normalized image space(NIS),...

Face Fusion Recognition Based on Bit-Plane Image

Feature extraction is the main technology in the process of human face recognition system which is widely utilized as the mainstream approach in identity verification system. However, the traditional human face feature extraction algorithm of Eigenface has strict restraint on the light in the original human face image, posing as a hindrance in the practical application. Aiming at this problem, ...
