Abstract

Traditional 2D based image processing and face recognition is only considering gray level information, which is the combination of illumination, and object shape. However, shape and illumination are two independent components. This paper focus on separating illumination factors from 2D images by using ICA (Independent component analysis) method. Only a single image captured under RGB light sources is used as the Input. A nonlinear statistical reflection model is developed through the nonlinear ICA algorithm to counter balance nonlinear distortions during image capturing process. The proposed algorithm has achieved excellent features of separating the illumination factors and yielded very high accuracy of 2.5D human face data recovery.
