Abstract

The invention discloses an illumination normalization method for processing human face images, which is specifically implemented according to the following steps: read in the human face image to be processed and take logarithm of it; calculate the shadow layer image; calculate the reflective layer image and perform exponential transformation ; select the sample image and calculate its histogram; normalize the reflective layer image by using the histogram matching method to obtain the corrected image of the face image to be processed by the illumination normalization method. The feature information on the large-scale layer can be preserved by using the edge-preserving filter; the sample image in the visually optimal area is used, so that the mean and variance of the corrected reflection layer image can be in the visually optimal area, which is beneficial to the subsequent face The recognition system can improve the correct rate of face recognition, and solve the problem that the existing feature extraction method of invariant illumination causes a large loss of feature information during face recognition, which is not conducive to the subsequent face recognition.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of digital image processing, and relates to an illumination normalization method for processing human face images. Background technique [0002] Face recognition under variable lighting conditions, such as shadows, overexposure, and underexposure, is a difficult problem in face recognition systems. In the past ten years, although many methods have been proposed, all of them are unsatisfactory, and most of them cannot be applied to actual needs. [0003] One type of method for lighting processing of face images under variable lighting conditions is to directly perform lighting correction, such as grayscale stretching, Gamma correction, histogram equalization, and histogram matching. These methods do not consider the image to be processed Therefore, it is difficult for such methods to obtain satisfactory processing results. Another method is illumination-invariant feature extraction, which regards the face i...
