A close relationship exists between the advancement of face recognition algorithms and the
availability of face databases varying factors that affect facial appearance in a controlled …

An apparatus for and method of performing a most informative feature extraction (MIFE)
method in which a facial image is separated into sub-regions, and each sub-region makes …

In this paper, a novel illumination normalization model is proposed for the pre-processing of
face recognition under varied lighting conditions. The novel model could compensate all the …

Person recognition using facial features, eg, mug-shot images, has long been used in
identity documents. However, due to the widespread use of web-cams and mobile devices …

The 3D reconstruction of a face from a single frontal image is an ill-posed problem. This is
further accentuated when the face image is captured under different poses and/or complex …

Illumination variation is a critical factor affecting the performance of face recognition
especially in video-based face recognition. This paper addresses this problem in two …

In this paper the background detection in images in poor lighting can be done by the use of
morphological filters. Lately contrast image enhancement technique is used to detect the …

Driven by the demanding of public security, face recognition has emerged as a viable
solution and achieved comparable accuracies to fingerprint system under controlled …

Traditional algorithms for dimensionality reduction attempt to preserve the intrinsic geometric
properties from high-dimensional space to low-dimensional space. However, these …
