Abstract
Uncontrolled lighting Conditions poses obstacle to face recognition. To deal with this problem, this paper proposes a preprocessing scheme using Singular Value Decomposition and Histogram Equalization to enhance and facilitate illumination invariant face recognition. The proposed method first generates synthetic image using Histogram equalization. Original and synthetic images are singular value decomposed; from the estimates of singular values enhanced image is reconstructed. Enhanced image is discrete wavelet decomposed (Haar & Db4) in to different frequency sub bands (LL, LH, HL, HH). The LL sub band is the best approximation of original image with lower-dimensional space and is used as biometric template. Pose Invariant Feature vectors are extracted from this template using Kernel Principal Component Analysis (KPCA). To show the performance, the proposed method is tested on YaleB, ORL benchmarking Databases. The results obtained show the impact of the method and is compared with PCA, KPCA without any preprocessing.

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.

Active appearance models

Abstract: We describe a new method of matching statistical models of appearance to images. A set of model parameters control modes of shape and gray-level variation learned from a training set. We construct an efficient iterative matching algorithm by learning the relationship between perturbations in the model parameters and the induced image errors.
