Recent research has explored the possibility of extracting ancillary information from primary
biometric traits viz., face, fingerprints, hand geometry, and iris. This ancillary information …

We researched and developed a practical methodology for face and image retrieval (FIR)
based on optimally weighted image descriptor ensemble. We describe a single-image-per …

Despite the many advances in face recognition technology, practical face detection and
matching for unconstrained images remain challenging. A real-world Face Image Retrieval …

Modern digital photo collections contain vast multitudes of high-resolution color images,
many containing faces, which are desirable to retrieve visually. This poses a problem for …

The iris is the colored portion of the eye surrounding the pupil. Images captured in the visible
spectrum make it difficult for the rich texture of brown irides to be discerned; therefore, iris …
