In this work, we introduce a novel supervised learning method called supervised locality preserving multimanifold(SLPMM) for face recognition with SSPP. In SLPMM, two graphs: within-manifold graph and between-manifold graph are made to represent the information inside every manifold and the information among different manifolds, respectively. SLPMM simultaneously maximizes the between-manifold scatter and minimizes the within-manifold scatter which leads to discriminant space by adopting locality preserving projection(LPP) concept. Experimental results on two widely used face databases FERET and AR face database are presented to prove the efficacy of the proposed approach.展开更多

Local quotient image (LQI) is an efficient illumination preprocessing method for face recognition systems. An illumination model and a face model were developed,and their use in the new method was analyzed. Analysis of the method's computational complexity showed it to be efficient. Experimental results on Yale Face Database B showed that the method can effectively eliminate the effects of differences in illumination and provides considerable improvement in recognition rates.展开更多

The proposed method, named illuminant locality preserving projections （ILPP）, exploited illuminant directions to alleviate the effect of illumination variations on face recognition. The face images were first projected into low dimensional subspace, Then the ILPP translated the face images along specific direction to reduce lighting variations in the face. The ILPP reduced the distance between face images of the same class, while increase the dis tance between face images of different classes. This proposed method was derived from the locality preserving projections （LPP） methods, and was designed to handle face images with various illumi nations. It preserved the face image＇ s local structure in low dimensional subspace. The ILPP meth od was compared with LPP and discriminant locality preserving projections （DLPP）, based on the YaleB face database. Experimental results showed the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm on the face recognition with various illuminations.展开更多

In this paper, a simple yet effective approach for detecting and locating human faces in color images is proposed. The contribution of this paper is twofold. First, a particular reference to face detection techniques along with a background to neural networks is given. Second, and maybe most importantly, an adaptive cubic-spline neural network is designed to be used to detect and locate human faces in uncontrolled environments. The experimental results conducted on our test set show the effectiveness of the proposed approach and it can compare favorably with other state-of-the-art approaches in the literature.展开更多

Local Binary Pattern (LBP) has been proved to be successful for face recognition. However, it is still very rare to take LBP as an illumination preprocessing approach. In this paper, we propose a new LBP-based multi-scale illumination pre- processing method. This method mainly includes three aspects: threshold adjustment, multi-scale addition and symmetry restoration/neighborhood replacement. Our experiment results show that the proposed method performs better than the existing LBP-based methods at the point of illumination preprocessing. Moreover, compared with some face image preprocessing methods, such as histogram equalization, Gamma transformation, Retinex, and simplified LBP operator, our method can effectively improve the robustness for face recognition against illumination variation, and achieve higher recog- nition rate.展开更多

The facial image pyramid is constructed and each facial image is divided into various regions from which partial and holistic local binary patter （LBP） histograms are extracted. All LBP features of each image are concatenated to a single LBP eigenvector with different resolutions. The dimensionaUty of LBP features is then reduced by a local margin alignment （LMA） algorithm based on manifold, which can preserve the between-class variance. Support vector machine （SVM） is applied to classify facial images. Extensive experiments on ORL and CMU face databases clearly show the superiority of the proposed scheme over some existed algorithms, especially on the robustness of the method against different facial expressions and postures of the subjects.展开更多
