LogAbout mapping of Self Quotient Image

Abstract

An illumination normalization technique for face recognition by the fusion of Self Quotient Image (SQI) and LogAbout has been proposed. The proposed method is evaluated by using internal face database and Yale face database. The proposed method had shown promising result from the Equal Error Rate (EER) point of view. Our method reported nearly 10% of improvements on average compared to SQI and LogAbout.
