  abstract =   "This paper proposes a novel pipeline to develop a Face
               Recognition System robust to illumination variation. We
               consider the case when only one single image per person is
               available during the training phase. In order to utilize the
               superiority of Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) over
               Principal Component Analysis (PCA) in regard to variable
               illumination, a number of new images illuminated from
               different directions are synthesized from a single image by
               means of the Quotient Image. Furthermore, during the testing
               phase, an iterative algorithm is used for the restoration of
               frontal illumination of a face illuminated from any
               arbitrary angle. Experimental results on the YaleB database
               show that our approach can achieve a top recognition rate
               compared to existing methods and can be integrated into real
               time face recognition system.",
