Abstract

Robustness of SNoW based face detection using local SMQT features to low light conditions is examined through experimental investigation. Low light conditions are emulated by varying camera aperture and camera exposure time to a xenon flash device in night time conditions. For face detection in the context of vehicle occupancy detection, it was found that reducing the illumination to 25% of that required for a properly exposed image to a human observer resulted in a reduction in face classification score that did not significantly reduce classification performance.
