Towards unconstrained face recognition from image sequences
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents experiments using Radial Basis Function (RBF) networks to tackle the unconstrained face recognition problem using low resolution video information. Input representations that mimic the effects of receptive field functions found at various stages of the human vision system were used with RBF networks that learnt to classify and generalise over different views of each person to be recognised. In particular, Difference of Gaussian (DoG) filtering and Gabor wavelet analysis are compared for face recognition from an image sequence. RBF techniques are shown to provide excellent levels of performance where the view varies and we discuss how to relax constraints on data capture and improve preprocessing to obtain an effective scheme for real-time, unconstrained face recognition.

Soft Biometrics: Gender Recognition from Unconstrained Face Images using Local Feature Descriptor
Gender recognition from unconstrained face images is a challenging task due to the high degree of misalignment, pose, expression, and illumination variation. In previous works, the recognition of gender from unconstrained face images is approached by utilizing image alignment, exploiting multiple samples per individual to improve the learning ability of the classifi er, or learning gender based...

One important type of biometric authentication is face recognition, a research area of high popularity with a wide spectrum of approaches that have been proposed in the last few decades. The majority of existing approaches are conceived for or evaluated on constrained still images. However, more recently research interests have shifted towards unconstrained “in-the-wild” still images and videos...
