Abstract

This paper examines various illumination invariant techniques and identifies the one which works well with principle component analysis for human face recognition. Experimental results show that by applying the technique called Gradientfaces at the pre-processing stage which computes the orientation of the image gradients in each pixel of the face images and uses the computed face representation as an illumination invariant version of the input image, it can greatly improve the recognition rates. From a low recognition rate of 6.25% up to 60.75% testing on the Asian face database which has images with various illumination.
