The 2013 face recognition evaluation in mobile environment
Automatic face recognition in unconstrained environments is a challenging task. To test current trends in face recognition algorithms, we organized an evaluation on face recognition in mobile environment. This paper presents the results of 8 different participants using two verification metrics. Most submitted algorithms rely on one or more of three types of features: local binary patterns, Gabor wavelet responses including Gabor phases, and color information. The best results are obtained from UNILJ-ALP, which fused several image representations and feature types, and UC-HU, which learns optimal features with a convolutional neural network. Additionally, we assess the usability of the algorithms in mobile devices with limited resources. © 2013 IEEE
Fuzzy reasoning model to improve face illumination invariance
Abstract
Enhancing facial images captured under different lighting conditions is an important challenge and a crucial component in the automatic face recognition systems. This work tackles illumination variation challenge by proposing a new face image enhancement approach based on Fuzzy theory. The proposed Fuzzy reasoning model generates an adaptive enhancement which corrects and improves non-uniform illumination and low contrasts. The FRM approach has been assessed using four blind-reference image quality metrics supported by visual assessment. A comparison to six state-of-the-art methods has also been provided. Experiments are performed on four public data sets, namely Extended Yale-B, Mobio, FERET and Carnegie Mellon University Pose, Illumination, and Expression, showing very interesting results achieved by our approach
