The main problem in face recognition system based on half-face pattern is how to anticipate poses and illuminance variations to improve recognition rate. To solve this problem, we can use two lenses on stereo vision camera in face recognition system. Stereo vision camera has left and right lenses that can be used to produce a 2D image of each lens. Stereo vision camera in face recognition has capability to produce two of 2D face images with a different angle. Both angle of the face image will produce a detailed image of the face and better lighting levels on each of the left and right lenses. In this study, we proposed a face recognition technique, using 2 lens on a stereo vision camera namely symmetrical half-join. Symmetrical half-join is a method of normalizing the image of the face detection on each of the left and right lenses in stereo vision camera, then cropping and merging at each image. Tests on face recognition rate based on the variety of poses and variations in illumination shows that the symmetrical half-join method is able to provide a high accuracy of face recognition and can anticipate variations in given pose and illumination variations. The proposed model is able to produce 86%-97% recognition rate on a variety of poses and variations in angles between 0°-22.5°. The variation of illuminance measured using a lux meter can result in 90%-100% recognition rate for the category of at least dim lighting levels (above 10 lux).

This research proposes a model of face recognition using the method of joining two face images from left and right lens from a stereo vision camera namely half-join method. Half-join method is used in face image normalization processing. The proposed half-join method is a face images joining model, which is called asymmetrical half-join. In asymmetrical half-join method, a RoI (region of interest) of face image from left and right lenses are provided based on axis center of each eye in eye detection. The cropping of face image from asymmetrical half-join model has different width depends on eyes coordinate location. The proposed system shows that the asymmetrical half-join method can produce a better of face recognition rate. The experimental results show that the asymmetrical half-join method has a better recognition rate and computation time than single vision method and symmetrical half-join method.
