چکیده
The use of biometric data for automated identity verification, is one of the major challenges in secure access control systems. In this paper, several issues related to the application of active vision techniques for identity verification, using facial images, are discussed and a practical system (developed within an European research project), encompassing the active vision paradigm, is described. The system, originally devised for banking applications, uses a pair of active tracking cameras to fixate the face of the subject and extract space-variant images (namely “fixations”) from the most relevant facial features. These features are automatically extracted with a two-level algorithm which uses a morphological filtering stage for a coarse localization, followed by an adaptive template matching. A simple matching algorithm, based on a space-variant representation of facial features, is applied for identity verification and compared with a technique based on the Principal Component Analysis. Several experiments on identity verification, performed on real images, are presented. q 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

Tracking people in three dimensions using a hierarchical model of dynamics
We propose a novel hierarchical model of human dynamics for view independent tracking of a human figure in monocular video sequences. The model is trained using real data from a collection of people. The top of the hierarchy contains information about the whole body. The lower levels of the hierarchy contain more detailed information about possible poses of some subpart of the body. In this art...

We introduce a new class of dithering methods called N-candidate methods. The main idea is that the output color is randomly chosen among several candidate colors so that the estimated color average would be preserved. The dithering process is pixelwise without any interaction with the neighboring pixels. The N-candidate methods are thus location invariant, which has two benefits: (1) the algor...

This paper presents a model based approach to human body tracking in which the 2D silhouette of a moving human and the corresponding 3D skeletal structure are encapsulated within a non-linear point distribution model. This statistical model allows a direct mapping to be achieved between the external boundary of a human and the anatomical position. It is shown how this information, along with th...
