levels, including sociolinguistic factors (e.g., level of education, linguistic context, and dialectal differences) and morphological issues (e.g., vocal tract length and shape or the dynamic configuration of the articulatory organs). These multiple influences will be simultaneously present in each speech act and some or all of them will contain specificities of the speaker. Hence, it is needed to clarify and clearly distinguish the different levels and sources of speaker information that should be extracted to model speaker individualities. ▶ Speaker Features

Definition Due to difficulty in controlling the lighting conditions in practical applications, variable illumination is one of the most challenging tasks in face recognition. Prior to face recognition, illumination compensation has to be performed, whereby the uneven illumination of human faces is compensated and face images in normal lighting conditions are reconstructed. The reconstructed face images are then used for classification. An illumination compensation scheme includes the following modules: lighting category evaluation, shape normalization, and lighting compensation.

Introduction Human face recognition, one of the most successful applications of image analysis and understanding, has received significant attention in the last decade. However, due to difficulty in controlling the lighting conditions in practical applications, variable illumination is one of the most daunting challenges in face recognition. As stated by Adini et al. [1], ‘‘The variations between the

images of the same face due to illumination and viewing direction are almost always larger than image variations due to chang
