Abstract

Face Recognition is a term that includes several sub-problems. Though face recognition have been a grown up research area, however, there still remain many problems that must be overcome to develop a robust face recognition system that works well under various circumstances such as illumination, pose and expressions variations. Such variations have proven to be one of the biggest problems of face recognition systems. In the proposed thesis work the problem of illumination is discussed. A method based on the combination of Retinex and LOG-DCT technique is applied to suppress the illumination and for better face recognition results. After illumination normalization LBP is used for extracting the features of normalized images, which are further used for face recognition. In the proposed method the experiments on Extended Yale B database show that by using the proposed method better recognition performance and results can be obtained.
