Distortion-invariant (pose and illumination) face recognition using new SVM
David P. Casasent, Chao Yuan · Proceedings of SPIE, the International Society for Optical Engineering/Proceedings of SPIE · 2004
Face recognition with both pose and illumination variations is considered. In addition, we consider the ability of the classifier to reject non-member or imposter face inputs; most prior work has not addressed this. Initially, non-registered test and training set imagery is used (this is realistic) and a two-step pose estimation/face recognition processor is employed which includes registration of the test input to the reference poses. A new SVRDM support vector representation and discrimination machine classifier is proposed and initial face recognition-rejection results are presented. Face recognition and verification results are presented.
