Image Enhancement for Face Detection and Recognition under Irregular Lighting Conditions

Abstract / Excerpt:

In recent years, face detection and recognition has been a part of lives. From social media to companies, it has been typically used as security and access control systems but it is also useful in multimedia information processing areas. One factor to consider upon using this technology is its accuracy to detect facial features from an image that is dark and has dark shadows casting over the face due to irregular lighting. In this paper, we will discuss our proposed enhancement method and apply it to an existing FaReS (Face Recognition System) to improve the overall quality of images.
