338 Recognition of Human Faces under Different Degradation Conditions
directional wavelets to decompose the frequency sub-bands of the
illumination-enhanced image and the high-frequency components
are thresholded by the minimum frequency coefficient in every
row of the high-frequency sub-bands. If the values of the frequency
coefficients are greater than the threshold value, they are set to zero.
The luminance component is preserved by thresholding the high-
frequency sub-bands and reconstructing by inverse DD-DTCWT. The
reconstructed image is subtracted from the logarithmic image to
extract
