Elastic Bunch Graph Matching (EBGM)

• Download csu FacePerf software: http://www.cs.colostate.edu/~ross/downloads/csuFaceIdEval5.tgz
  • normalization schedule:

1. Integer to float conversion - Converts 256 gray levels into floating point equivalents.
2. Geometric normalization – Lines up human chosen eye coordinates.
3. Masking – Crops the image using an elliptical mask and image borders such that only the face from forehead to chin and cheek to cheek is visible.
4. Histogram equalization – Equalizes the histogram of the unmasked part of the image.
5. Pixel normalization – scales the pixel values to have a mean of zero and a standard deviation of one.

• default face normalization parameters from CSU FacePerf program:
