Abstract

An illumination invariant face recognition method based on neural network ensemble architecture is proposed. Given a face image with an arbitrary illumination direction, it can complete recognition in a uniform way with high performance without knowing or estimating the illumination direction. Experimental result shows that the recognition ratio of the ensemble architecture is higher than the conventional approach that uses a single neural network to recognize faces of a specific illumination direction.
