Illumination-insensitive image representation is a great challenge in the computer vision field. Illumination variations considerably obstruct the effectiveness of image feature extraction. In this paper, we present a novel and generalized learning framework for illumination-insensitive image representation, which can learn the discriminative features through maximizing the inter-difference and minimizing intradifference of the images with boosting. Particularly, we enhance the discriminative capacity of illuminationinsensitive image representation in three aspects. First, we learn a subset of different synergistic Weber excitation patterns (SWEP) to generate the dominant SWEP (DSWEP) and DSWEP codebook for exploring optimal illumination-insensitive patterns. Second, a compact DSWEP (C-DSWEP) is learned with a boosted set of weight to generate C-DSWEP codebook. Discriminative learning is aimed at robustness and compactness. Third, the discriminative histogram learning model is established for encoding CDSEP to further improve the discriminative ability and reduce redundancy. The extensive experiments on CMUPIE, FERET, Yale B, Yale B ext., LFW, and PhoTex databases have highlighted the superiority and the robustness of our method compared with some other state-of-the-art methods.
