摘要:the effect of pre-processing of face image in improving the face recognition rate is presented in this paper. Three pre-processing steps are used in considering the facial images with dark or bad lighting, low contrast. The preprocessing steps used here are contrast stretching, Homomorphic filtering and conversion of PGM image to Tagged Image File Format (TIFF), Graphics Interchange Format (GIF) and Portable Network Graphics (PNG). In order to reduce the dimension and extracting features Principle Component Analysis (PCA), Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA), Kernel Fisher Analysis (KFA) and Kernel Principle Component Analysis (KPCA) are used to see the effect of pre-processing techniques and image formats on these techniques. Results show that the pre-processing steps like contrast stretching and Homomorphic filtering and the database in TIFF, GIF and PNG formats produced excellent improvement and increased the rate of face recognition when compared with AT&T ORL data bases.
