TLDR
In this paper, a facial image is separated into sub-regions, and each sub-region makes individual contribution for performing facial recognition, where each subregion is subjected to a subregion based adaptive gamma (SadaGamma) correction or sub region based histogram equalization (SHE).Abstract:
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 individual contribution for performing facial recognition. Specifically, each sub-region is subjected to a sub-region based adaptive gamma (SadaGamma) correction or sub-region based histogram equalization (SHE) in order to account for different illuminations and expressions. A set of reference images is also divided into sub-regions and subjected to the SadaGamma correction or SHE. A comparison is made between the each corrected sub-region and each corresponding sub-region of the reference images. Based upon the comparisons made individually for the sub-regions of the facial image, one of the stored reference images having the greatest correspondence is chosen. While usable individually, using the MIFE and/or SadaGamma correction or SHE together achieves a lower error ratio in face recognition under different expressions, illuminations and occlusions.read more

Eigenfaces vs. Fisherfaces: recognition using class specific linear projection
TL;DR: A face recognition algorithm which is insensitive to large variation in lighting direction and facial expression is developed, based on Fisher's linear discriminant and produces well separated classes in a low-dimensional subspace, even under severe variations in lighting and facial expressions.

TL;DR: A common theoretical framework for combining classifiers which use distinct pattern representations is developed and it is shown that many existing schemes can be considered as special cases of compound classification where all the pattern representations are used jointly to make a decision.
