Performance Characterisation of Face Recognition Algorithms and Their Sensitivity to Severe Illumination Changes
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper details the results of a face verification competition [2] held in conjunction with the Second International Conference on Biometric Authentication. The contest was held on the publically available XM2VTS database [4] according to a defined protocol [15]. The aim of the competition was to assess the advances made in face recognition since 2003 and to measure the sensitivity of the tested algorithms to severe changes in illumination conditions. In total, more than 10 algorithms submitted by three groups were compared. The results show that the relative performance of some algorithms is dependent on training conditions (data, protocol) as well as environmental changes.

Face Recognition in Thermal Images based on Sparse Classifier
Despite recent advances in face recognition systems, they suffer from serious problems because of the extensive types of changes in human face (changes like light, glasses, head tilt, different emotional modes). Each one of these factors can significantly reduce the face recognition accuracy. Several methods have been proposed by researchers to overcome these problems. Nonetheless, in recent ye...
متن کاملRobust Face Recognition Using Symmetric Shape-from-Shading
Sensitivity to variations in illumination is a fundamental and challenging problem in face recognition. In this paper, we describe a new method based on symmetric shape-from-shading (SFS) to develop a face recognition system that is robust to changes in illumination. The basic idea of this approach is to use the symmetric SFS algorithm as a tool to obtain a prototype image which is illumination...
