The method is composed of image correction and image decomposition, both of which are specified in the normalized image space (NIS). The image correction [(F. Sakaue and T. Shakunaga, 2004), (T. Shakunaga and F. Sakaue, 2002)] is realized by iterative projections of an image to an eigenspace in NIS. It works well for natural images having various kinds of noise, including shadows, reflections, and occlusions. We have proposed decomposition of an eigenface into two orthogonal eigenspaces [T. Shakunaga and K. Shigenari, 2001], and have shown that the decomposition is effective for realizing robust face recognition under various lighting conditions. This work shows that the decomposed eigenface method can be refined by projection-based image correction. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=ShakunagaTakeshi en-aut-sei=Shakunaga en-aut-mei=Takeshi kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=SakaueFumihiko en-aut-sei=Sakaue en-aut-mei=Fumihiko kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=ShigenariKazuma en-aut-sei=Shigenari en-aut-mei=Kazuma kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Information Technology, Faculty of Engineering Okayama University affil-num=2 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Information Technology, Faculty of Engineering Okayama University affil-num=3 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Information Technology, Faculty of Engineering Okayama University en-keyword=eigenvalues and eigenfunctions kn-keyword=eigenvalues and eigenfunctions en-keyword=face recognition kn-keyword=face recognition en-keyword=object recognition kn-keyword=object recognition END
