- Abstract
- A fundamental limitation of hyperspectral imaging is the inter-band misalignment correlated with subject motion during data acquisition. One way of resolving this problem is to the assess alignment quality of hyperspectral image cubes derived from the state-of-the-art alignment methods. In this paper, we present an automatic selection framework for the optimal alignment method to improve the performance of face recognition. Specifically, we develop two qualitative prediction models based on: 1) a principal curvature map for evaluating the similarity index between sequential target bands and a reference band in the hyperspectral image cube as a full-reference metric; and 2) the cumulative probability of target colors in the HSV color space for evaluating the alignment index of a single sRGB image rendered using all of the bands of the hyperspectral image cube as a no-reference metric. We verify the efficacy of the proposed metrics on a new large-scale database, demonstrating a higher prediction accuracy in determining improved alignment compared to two full-reference and five no-reference image quality metrics. We also validate the ability of the proposed framework to improve hyperspectral face recognition. (C) 2016 Optical Society of America
