Most eye localization methods suffer from illumination variation. To overcome this problem, we propose an illumination normalization technique as a preprocessing step before localizing eyes. This technique requires no training process, no assumption on the light conditions, and no alignment between different images for illumination normalization. Moreover, it is fast and thus effective for real-time applications. Experiment results verify the effectiveness and efficiency of the eye localization scheme with the proposed illumination normalization technique.
