Representation and pre-processing techniques for illumination invariant 3D face recognition
Nita M. Thakare, Vilas M. Thakare · 2011
In this paper, we present the working of various preprocessing and representation techniques that are being used for illumination invariant 3 D face recognition. Face recognition is a well known biometric technique specially used for human identification and mostly applicable in security applications, user identification, and enrollment/authentication systems. Generally most of the applications use the 2D face recognition systems, but these systems are prone to various factors like pose, expression, lighting conditions, etc. Now a day's 3D face recognition has become an evergrowing and promising biometric technique because of its robust features. We are presenting the techniques that are used for representation of the 3D data and matching faces for illumination compensated face recognition.
