Abstract

Illumination variation is the most significant factor affecting face recognition rate. In this paper, we propose adaptive smoothing based on combined most significant bit (CMSB) - plane and local entropy for robust face recognition in varying illumination. Illumination normalization is achieved based on Retinex method. The proposed method has been evaluated based on the CMU PIE database by using Principle Component Analysis (PCA).
