Abstract

This paper presents two multiple illumination eigenspaces-based methods, RDEB and BPNNB, for solving the variable illumination problem of face recognition. The experiment shows that the methods have a high recognition ratio. In particular, BPNNB has outperformed the assumptive method which knows the illumination directions of faces and completes recognition in the specific eigenspace using eigenface method[2] for each face subset with a specific illumination direction.
