Infrared Face Recognition Using Distance Transforms
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this work we present an efficient approach for face recognition in the infrared spectrum. In the proposed approach physiological features are extracted from thermal images in order to build a unique thermal faceprint. Then, a distance transform is used to get an invariant representation for face recognition. The obtained physiological features are related to the distribution of blood vessels under the face skin. This blood network is unique to each individual and can be used in infrared face recognition. The obtained results are promising and show the effectiveness of the proposed scheme. Keywords—Face recognition, biometrics, infrared imaging.

New Face Recognition Method Based on Texture Features using Linear Wavelet Transforms
The present paper proposes a novel scheme of face recognition system based on texture features derived from co-occurrence parameters using 1-level linear wavelet decomposition technique. The present method divides the face into four parts. The novelty of the present scheme lies on usage of distance function on texture features for the recognition of facial images. The distance function evaluate...
متن کاملDisguised Face Recognition by Using Local Phase Quantization and Singular Value Decomposition
Disguised face recognition is a major challenge in the field of face recognition which has been taken less attention. Therefore, in this paper a disguised face recognition algorithm based on Local Phase Quantization (LPQ) method and Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) is presented which deals with two main challenges. The first challenge is when an individual intentionally alters the appearance ...
متن کاملEvaluating the Efficiency of a Night-Time, Middle-Range Infrared Sensor for Applications in Human Detection and Recognition
In law enforcement and security applications, the acquisition of face images is critical in producing key trace evidence for the successful identification of potential threats. In this work we, first, use a near infrared (NIR) sensor designed with the capability to acquire images at middle-range stand-off distances at night. Then, we determine the maximum stand-off distance where face recogniti...
متن کاملImplementation of Pose Invariant Face Recognition using Eigenface Approach
Face recognition is one among the several techniques for identification and verification of an individual. The approach in the present work transforms face images into a small set of characteristic feature images called eigenfaces, which are the principal components of the initial training set of face images. Recognition is performed by projecting a new image into subspace spanned by eigenfaces...
متن کامل3D Face Recognition using Patch Geodesic Derivative Pattern
In this paper, a novel Patch Geodesic Derivative Pattern (PGDP) describing the texture map of a face through its shape data is proposed. Geodesic adjusted textures are encoded into derivative patterns for similarity measurement between two 3D images with different pose and expression variations. An extensive experimental investigation is conducted using the publicly available Bosphorus and BU-3...
