Abstract
The performance of face recognition schemes is adversely affected as a result of significant to moderate variation in illumination, pose, and facial expressions. Most existing approaches to face recognition tend to deal with one of these problems by controlling the other conditions. Beside strong efficiency requirements, face recognition systems on constrained mobile devices and PDA's are expected to be robust against all variations in recording conditions that arise naturally as a result of the way such devices are used. Wavelet-based face recognition schemes have been shown to meet well the efficiency requirements. Wavelet transforms decompose face images into different frequency subbands at different scales, each giving rise to different representation of the face, and thereby providing the ingredients for a multi-stream approach to face recognition which stand a real chance of achieving acceptable level of robustness. This paper is concerned with the best fusion strategy for a multi-stream face recognition scheme. By investigating the robustness of different wavelet subbands against variation in lighting conditions and expressions, we shall demonstrate the shortcomings of current non-adaptive fusion strategies and argue for the need to develop an image quality based, intelligent, dynamic fusion strategy.
