Improved Local Line Binary Pattern (Illbp): An Improved Lbp-Based Biometric Descriptor For Face And Finger Vein Recognition

Face recognition under different illumination remains a challenging problem. The variations between the images of the same face due to illuminations are almost always being larger than image variations due to changes in face identity. For finger vein recognition, the recognition rate may be de...

Improved Local Line Binary Pattern (Illbp): An Improved Lbp-Based Biometric Descriptor For Face And Finger Vein Recognition
description Face recognition under different illumination remains a challenging problem. The variations between the images of the same face due to illuminations are almost always being larger than image variations due to changes in face identity.
