Abstract
Face recognition under changing lighting conditions is a challenging problem in computer vision. In this paper, we analyze the relative strengths of different lighting insensitive representations, and propose efficient classifier combination schemes that result in better recognition rates. We consider two experimental settings, wherein we study the performance of different algorithms with (and without) prior information on the different illumination conditions present in the scene. In both settings, we focus on the problem of having just one exemplar per person in the gallery. Based on these observations, we design algorithms for integrating the individual classifiers to capture the significant aspects of each representation. We then illustrate the performance improvement obtained through our classifier combination algorithms on the illumination subset of the PIE dataset, and on the extended Yale-B dataset. Throughout, we consider galleries with both homogenous and heterogeneous lighting conditions.
