Current Issues in Face Recognition
Keywords:
Face recognition systems, illumination and pose problem, image-acquisition problem, security concerns, holistic and non-holistic methodsAbstract
Face recognition system must to robust to recognize identity despite of many variations in appearance. Actually
face is a 3D object that may be illuminated by a variety of light sources and surrounded by the complex background details.
When 3D face is projected to 2D image, details could vary tremendously. In field of face recognition 3D pose problem,
illumination problem, foreground and background segmentation are some of the pertinent issues in the field of computer
vision as a whole. There may be inter-personal variations due to racial factors, identity, or genetics while intra-personal
variations may be due to deformations, expression, aging, facial hair, and cosmetics. Face recognition system should be
capable enough to handle these variations.
