This paper focuses on the study of the face authentication system and the robustness of fact authentication methods under illumination changes. Four different face authentication methods are tried. These methods are as fellows; PCA(Principal Component Analysis), GMM(Gaussian Mixture Modeis), 1D HMM(1 Dimensional Hidden Markov Models), Pseudo 2D HMM(Pseudo 2 Dimensional Hidden Markov Models). Experiment results involving an artificial illumination change to fate images are compared with each other. Face feature vector extraction based on the 2D DCT(2 Dimensional Discrete Cosine Transform) if used. Experiments to evaluate the above four different fate authentication methods are carried out on the ORL(Olivetti Research Laboratory) face database. Experiment results show the EER(Equal Error Rate) performance degrade in ail occasions for the varying ${\delta}$. For the non illumination changes, Pseudo 2D HMM is $2.54{\%}$,1D HMM is $3.18{\%}$, PCA is $11.7{\%}$, GMM is $13.38{\%}$. The 1D HMM have the bettor performance than PCA where there is no illumination changes. But the 1D HMM have worse performance than PCA where there is large illumination changes(${\delta}{\geq}40$). For the Pseudo 2D HMM, The best EER performance is observed regardless of the illumination changes.

Consequently substantial research has been done on the development of the bio-metric recognition method as well as technical research in the field of authentication. As a method of bio-metric recognition, personal and unique information such as fingerprints, voice, face, Iris, hand-geometry and vein-pattern are used. The face image system in bio-metric recognition and information authentication reduces the denial response from the users because it is a non-contact system the face image system operates through a PC camera attached to a computer base this makes the system economically viable as well as user friendly. Conversely, the face image system is very sensitive to illumination, hair style and appearance and consequently creates recognition errors easily, therefore we must build a stable authentication system which is not too sensitive to changes in appearance and light. In this study, I proposed user authentication protocol to serve a confidentiality and integrity and to obtain a least Equal Error Rate to minimize the wrong authentication rate when it authenticates the user.

컴퓨터 비전 기술의 발달에 따라 사용자 인터페이스, 사용자 인증, 보안 등 여러 가지 응용에서 얼굴 정보를 사용하려는 많은 연구가 이루어지고 있다. 얼굴 정보를 이용하는데 있어서, 눈, 코, 입술과 같이 얼굴의 특징을 효과적으로 추출할 필요가 있다. 본 논문에서는 적응성을 갖는 여러 가지 정보를 결합함으로써 조명의 변화가 있는 경우에도 얼굴을 특징을 견고하게 추출할 수 있는 방법을 제안한다.
