Most current face recognition systems are designed for indoor, cooperative-user
applications. However, even in thus-constrained applications, most existing systems …

This paper describes a new software-based registration and fusion of visible and thermal
infrared (IR) image data for face recognition in challenging operating environments that …

Automatic face recognition is an area with immense practical potential which includes a
wide range of commercial and law enforcement applications. Hence it is unsurprising that it …

A number of studies have demonstrated that infrared (IR) imagery offers a promising
alternative to visible imagery due to it's insensitive to variations in face appearance caused …

This paper presents initial results in a study comparing the effectiveness of visible and infra-
red (IR) imagery for detecting and recognizing faces in areas where personnel identification …

Face recognition algorithms need to deal with variable lighting conditions. Near infrared
(NIR) image based face recognition technology has been proposed to effectively overcome …

A key problem for face recognition has been accurate identification under variable
illumination conditions. Conventional video cameras sense reflected light so that image …

We present a comprehensive performance study of multiple appearance-based face
recognition methodologies, on visible and thermal infrared imagery. We compare algorithms …

Face recognition algorithms have to deal with significant amounts of illumination variations
between gallery and probe images. State-of-the-art commercial face recognition algorithms …

Face recognition is a rapidly growing research area due to increasing demands for security
in commercial and law enforcement applications. This paper provides an up-to-date review …
