| Abstract | The performance of current face recognition systems suffers heavily from variations in lighting. To deal with this problem, this paper presents a novel illumination normalization approach, by relighting faces to a canonical illumination, based on harmonic images. Benefiting from the observation that human faces share similar shape, and the albedo of the face surface is quasi-constant, we first estimate the nine low-frequency components of the lighting from the input face image. Then, the face image is normalized by relighting it to a canonical illumination, based on the illumination ratio image. For face recognition purposes, two kinds of canonical illumination, uniform and frontal point lighting, are considered, between which the former encodes merely texture information, while the latter encodes both texture and shading information. Our experimental results show that the proposed relighting normalization can significantly improve the performance of a face recognition system. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
