Applying local Gabor ternary pattern for video-based illumination variable face recognition

The illumination variation problem is one of the well-known problems in face recognition in uncontrolled environment. Due to that both Gabor feature and LTP(local ternary pattern) are testified to be robust to illumination variations, we proposed a new approach which achieved illumination variable face recognition by combining Gabor filters with LTP operator. The experimental results compared with the published results on Yale-B and CMU PIE face database of changing illumination verify the validity of the proposed method.
