Abstract

The lighting factor has a very significant effect on facial recognition performance. To reduce the effect of this lighting factor, at the pre-processing stage the researchers used contrast adjustments to the image to improve facial recognition performance. The histogram equalization technique is generally used for contrast adjustment because of its excellent performance to normalize image illumination which is affected by lighting conditions. In this research, empirical experiments were carried out to determine the effect of contrast adjustment using histogram equalization on face recognition in more detail. This research aims to answer the question whether this technique can be used in all image lighting conditions or not. The Robust Regression method is used in this research to recognize faces, which in many cases have very good performance due to lighting factors. Experiments using images in the AR Face Database related to lighting factors. The testing process is carried out by comparing the results of face recognition using the histogram equalization technique in the pre-processing phase and face recognition without pre-processing in each lighting condition. The experimental results show that the use of the histogram equalization technique in pre-processing gives a better face recognition performance effect in low, medium and high lighting conditions. But in very high (extreme) lighting conditions, the use of the histogram equalization technique in pre-processing turns out to have a worse facial recognition performance effect, with an average accuracy of 93.17%, whereas without pre-processing it produces an average accuracy of 94 , 67%.

Abstract

In the face recognition process influenced by lighting, the application of the image enhancement process at the preprocessing stage plays an important role in normalizing image contrast so that the quality of the input image becomes better. This step is expected to improve face recognition performance. In this study, we implement a lighting-influenced face recognition method, namely Robust Regression, and test several image enhancement techniques in the preprocessing phase to determine their effects on face recognition performance under different image lighting conditions, including Contrast-limited Adaptive Histogram Equalization (CLAHE), Histogram Equalization (Histeq), and Image Intensity Adjustment (Imadjust). HE uses a global technique that adjusts the overall intensity of the image. CLAHE uses a local technique that adjusts the intensity of pixels based on their surrounding areas. Meanwhile, the Imadjust function adjusts the intensity of image pixels based on the specified minimum and maximum values. The experiment is conducted using the AR Face Database which contains images affected by lighting factors. Lighting conditions include several categories, namely low, medium, high, and very high (extreme) lighting conditions. The experimental scenario is carried out by comparing the results of face recognition using several preprocessing techniques on each test data. The experimental results show that image enhancement techniques improve the performance of face recognition. The face recognition approach that adds the CLAHE technique to the preprocessing shows the highest performance of 95.87%. Meanwhile, the face recognition approach that adds the Imadjust technique to the preprocessing shows the lowest performance of 84.38%.
