Embodiment Construction

[0036] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The following examples are only used to more clearly illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, but cannot limit the protection scope of the present invention with this.

[0037] see figure 1 , in order to solve the problem that the face recognition effect of the above method is unsatisfactory under complex lighting conditions, the present invention proposes a more effective lighting estimation and lighting invariant extraction algorithm based on the classic and simple Lambertian model, so as to improve Accuracy of face recognition under complex lighting conditions. The present invention comprehensively considers the imaging principle of the image, the characteristics of slowly changing illumination and the complex illumination environment, and combines image fusion and smoothing filtering to propose an effective illumination estimation and illuminatio...

Abstract

The invention discloses a light and face identifying method based on light estimation. The method includes the following steps: firstly, in accordance with an image imaging model, estimating a preliminary light from an original face image, then in accordance with the preliminary light, computing a light shielding correction light and light fusion factor, constructing a light fusion model, realizing light shielding light correction, then using a total variational model to conduct smoothing filtering on the light after the light shielding correction to acquire the final light of the original face image, finally using a light invariant extraction model to acquire the light invariant of the original image. According to the invention, the method can better process the problem of shadow edge, extracts the light invariant which contains rich and detailed face characteristics and is closer to original face intrinsic, can meet imaging theories of images, and is applied to the complex lighting environment by means of slow changing characteristics of light.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a face recognition method, in particular to an illumination face recognition method based on illumination estimation. Background technique [0002] The complex lighting problem has always been a research hotspot in face recognition technology. In order to solve this problem, scholars at home and abroad have proposed many methods. Such methods mainly include methods based on illumination estimation and methods based on high-frequency feature extraction. These methods essentially separate the illumination and illumination invariants of the face image on the assumption that the illumination changes slowly and the illumination invariant changes rapidly, and directly or indirectly extract the illumination invariant information from the face image. [0003] Although these methods have made significant progress in complex illumination face recognition, they still have certain limitations. On the one hand, in a complex environment, t...
