Illumination normalization for edge-based face recognition using the fusion of RGB normalization and gamma correction (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

In this paper, an illumination normalization technique for edge-based face recognition on face images with non-uniform illumination conditions, is proposed. The proposed illumination normalization technique fuses the merits of color (Red, Green and B...
