The Imaging Issue in an Automatic Face / Disguise Detection System
نویسندگان
چکیده
Automatic face recognition systems have made great strides in the past 10 years. They still, however, cannot cope with changes due to lighting and cannot detect disguises. Both of these issues are critical for the employment of face recognition systems in high security applications, such as embassy perimeters, federal plazas, and the like. We propose novel imaging solutions that address these difficult problems. We demonstrate with theoretical and experimental arguments that a dual-band fusion system in the near infrared can segment human faces much more accurately than traditional visible band face detection systems. Face detection is useful by itself as an early warning method in certain surveillance applications. Accurate face delineation can also improve the performance of face recognition systems in certain difficult scenarios, particularly in outside environments. We also demonstrate with theoretical and experimental arguments that the upper band of the near infrared (1.4 2.4 μm) is particularly advantageous for disguise detection purposes. This is attributable to the unique and universal properties of the human skin in this sub-band. We conclude the paper with a description of our ongoing and future efforts.

Introduction: The position estimation in gamma detection system will have constant misplacements which can be corrected in the calibration procedure. In the pixelated crystal uniformly irradiation of detector will produce irregular shape due to position estimation errors. This image is called flood field image and is used to calibrate the position estimation. In this work we pr...
