An Unpaired Face Illumination Normalization Method Based on CycleGAN
Aiming at the influence of illumination in face recognition process
a method of illumination normalization based on CycleGAN is presented. By using the Generative Adversarial Nets and the principle of image translation
the illumination style of the darker image was shifted to the brighter image
while the surface and the structure of the face kept smooth at the same time. Unpaired data sets without labels are used
in order to achieve unsupervised removal of illumination
and greatly simplify the work of data preprocessing. Finally
the CroppedYale data set is used to train a deep learning face recognition model
using this CycleGAN model to process the test set
and comparing the accuracy before and after processing. Experiments show that this method has a strong ability to reduce the influence of human face illumination on recognition rate while basically not changing the face structure
and therefore is helpful to improve the accuracy of face recognition.
