Face Authentication Test on the BANCA Database

This paper details the results of a Face Authentication Test (FAT2004) [2] held in conjunction with the 17th International Conference on Pattern Recognition. The contest was held on the publicly available BANCA database [1] according to a defined protocol [7]. The competition also had a sequestered part in which institutions had to submit their algorithms for independent testing. 13 different verification algorithms from 11 academic and commercial institutions submitted results. Also, a standard set of face recognition software packages from the Internet [3] wer used to provide a baseline performance measure.
