Image Pre-processing Using OpenCV Library on MORPH-II Face Database
This work addresses the need for standardized image pre-processing in face recognition research, but it is incremental as it applies existing methods to a specific dataset.
The paper describes a pre-processing pipeline for the MORPH-II face database using OpenCV, detailing each step and calculations involved, and discusses potential improvements.
This paper outlines the steps taken toward pre-processing the 55,134 images of the MORPH-II non-commercial dataset. Following the introduction, section two begins with an overview of each step in the pre-processing pipeline. Section three expands upon each stage of the process and includes details on all calculations made, by providing the OpenCV functionality paired with each step. The last portion of this paper discusses the potential improvements to this pre-processing pipeline that became apparent in retrospect.
