Face recognition across pose variation and the 3S problem

Face Recognition Across Pose and Illumination

The last decade has seen automatic face recognition evolve from small scale research systems to a wide range of commercial products. Driven by the FERET face database and evaluation protocol, the currently best commercial systems achieve verification accuracies comparable to those of fingerprint recognizers. In these experiments, only frontal face images taken under controlled lighting conditio...

3D Aided Face Recognition across Pose Variations

Recently, 3D aided face recognition, concentrating on improving performance of 2D techniques via 3D data, has received increasing attention due to its wide application potential in real condition. In this paper, we present a novel 3D aided face recognition method that can deal with the probe images in different viewpoints. It first estimates the face pose based on the Random Regression Forest, ...

Head Pose Estimation in Face Recognition Across Pose Scenarios

We present a robust front-end pose classification/estimation procedure to be used in face recognition scenarios. A novel discriminative feature description that encodes underlying shape well and is insensitive to illumination and other common variations in facial appearance, such as skin colour etc., is proposed. Using such features we generate a pose similarity feature space (PSFS) that turns ...
