Abstract:
Varying illumination conditions have always been bottleneck in recognizing faces under
wild environment. Because changing the lightning conditions and position alter the shadows,
brightness and shadows which result in the form of changing facial features, which as a whole
turn the facial geometry and therefore made it difficult for a system to detect a face under
such variations.
Our goal here was to develop a system which can recognize face, unaffected of the
illumination invariance and Convolutional Neural Networks allow us to extract a wide range of
features from images. Turns out, we can use this idea of feature extraction foi face lecognition
too under wild illumination conditions.

The approach we are going to use for face recognition is fairly straight forward. The key
here is to get a deep neural network to produce a bunch of numbeis that desciibe a face (known
as face encodings). When you pass different images of the same person under different,
illumination impact, the network should return similar outputs (i.e. closer numbeis) foi both
images, whereas when you pass in the images of two different people, the nelwoik should letuin
very different outputs for the two images. This means that the neural network needs to be trained
to automatically identify different features of faces and calculate numbers based

different and all this process is running under varying illumination conditions and proves that
