Abstract. This paper presents a method to decompose a field of surface normals (needle-map). A diffusion process is used to model the flow of height information induced by a fi...
Extending recognition to uncontrolled situations is a key challenge for practical face recognition systems. Finding efficient and discriminative facial appearance descriptors is c...
We present a novel face recognition method using automatically extracted sketch by a multi-layer grammatical face model. First, the observed face is parsed into a 3layer (face, pa...
We present a robust elastic and partial matching metric
for face recognition. To handle challenges such as pose, facial
expression and partial occlusion, we enable both elastic
...
This paper details a fully automated face authentication system using low-cost near infrared imaging. The image normalization step consists of eye center localization, scale corre...
