Abstract

Occlusions in face images such as eyeglasses, hairs and whiskers decrease the performance of face recognition algorithms. Addressing this problem, this paper proposes a method for restoring occluded regions in face images. The proposed method employs Fast Weighted Principal Component Analysis (FW-PCA), which computes PCA only with effective pixels. The use of FW-PCA makes it possible to detect and restore occluded regions in face images. Through a set of experiments using public face databases, we demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method compared with the conventional methods.
