Abstract

In this paper, an efficient face recognition algorithm is proposed, which is robust to illumination, expression and occlusion. In our method, a human face image is considered as a multiplication of a reflectance image and an illumination image. Then, this illumination model is used to transfer input images. After the transformation, the robust principal component analysis is employed to recover the intrinsic information of a sequence of images of one person. Finally, a new similarity metric is defined for face recognition. Experiments based on different databases illustrate that our method can achieve consistent and promising results.
