Abstract
Abstract In this article, we develop a new algorithm for illumination invariant face recognition. We first transform the face images to the logarithm domain, which makes the dark regions brighter. We then use dual-tree complex wavelet transform to generate face images that are approximately invariant to illumination changes and use collaborative representation-based classifier to classify the unknown faces to one known class. We set the approximation sub-band and the highest two DTCWT coefficient sub-bands to zero values before the inverse DTCWT transform is performed. Experimental results demonstrate that our proposed method improves upon a few existing methods under both the noise-free and noisy environments for the Extended Yale Face Database B and the CMU-PIE face database.
