Abstract

Abstract The paper proposes a band-pass correlation filter in frequency domain for frontal face recognition task under both poor illumination and noisy condition. The band-pass nature of the proposed filter is achieved through combination of a modified high-pass filter and a continuous wavelet filter. An optimal range of scale is selected for this wavelet filter. The performance of the proposed band-pass correlation filter for face recognition tasks under variations in illumination and noise is evaluated and compared with other filters using standard databases (YaleB and PIE). High recognition accuracy is achieved in this proposed technique.
