Comparing face images using the Hausdorff distance is one of the face matching and fast screening techniques. As a fast screening technique, the computational efficiency is a key issue. An efficient method for Hausdorff distance-based face matching and fast screening is proposed. The method utilises dominant points, instead of edge maps, as features for measuring similarity. A new formulation o...
