Outdoor Face Recognition Using Enhanced Near Infrared Imaging
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we present a robust and accurate system for outdoor (as well as indoor) face recognition, based on a recently developed enhanced near-infrared (ENIR) imaging device. Using a narrow band NIR laser generator instead of LED lights for active frontal illumination, the ENIR device can provide face images of good quality even under sunlight. Experiments show that the ENIR system performs similarly to the existing NIR system when used indoors, but outperforms it significantly outdoors especially under sunlight.

Quantitative Measurement of Illumination Invariance for Face Recognition Using Thermal Infrared Imagery∗
A key issue for face recognition has been accurate identification under variable illumination conditions. Conventional video cameras sense reflected light so that image gray values are a product of both intrinsic skin reflectivity and external incident illumination, obfuscating intrinsic reflectivity of skin. It has been qualitatively observed that thermal imagery of human faces is invariant to...
متن کاملFace Recognition in Hyperspectral Images
Hyperspectral cameras provide useful discriminants for human face recognition that cannot be obtained by other imaging methods.We examine the utility of using near-infrared hyperspectral images for the recognition of faces over a database of 200 subjects. The hyperspectral images were collected using a CCD camera equipped with a liquid crystal tunable filter to provide 31 bands over the near-in...
متن کاملNear infrared sensing and associated landmark detection for face recognition
We present, in this work, a new system of Near-Infrared capture that aims to eliminate ambient light effects. We designed this sensor to be integrated into the mobile platform VINSI. One of the originalities of this sensor is that we can acquire two images at the same time: one in infrared and the other in visible light. We developed a novel method for landmark detection of sufficiently low com...
متن کاملRotation and noise invariant near-infrared face recognition by means of Zernike moments and spectral regression discriminant analysis
Face recognition is a rapidly growing research area, which is based heavily on the methods of machine learning, computer vision, and image processing. We propose a rotation and noise invariant near-infrared face-recognition system using an orthogonal invariant moment, namely, Zernike moments (ZMs) as a feature extractor in the near-infrared domain and spectral regression discriminant analysis (...
متن کاملHuman Biometrics: Moving Towards Thermal Imaging
Thermal imaging is simply the technique of using the heat given off by an object to produce an image of it or locate it. New thermal imaging frameworks for detection, segmentation and unique feature extraction and similarity measurements for human physiological biometrics recognition are reviewed. The research investigates specialized algorithms that would extract vasculature information, creat...
