TLDR
A novel design of camera hardware, and a learning based procedure for effective face and eye detection and recognition with the resulting imagery, which has demonstrated excellent accuracy, speed and usability.Abstract:
In this paper, we present a highly accurate, realtime face recognition system for cooperative user applications. The novelties are: (1) a novel design of camera hardware, and (2) a learning based procedure for effective face and eye detection and recognition with the resulting imagery. The hardware minimizes environmental lighting and delivers face images with frontal lighting. This avoids many problems in subsequent face processing to a great extent. The face detection and recognition algorithms are based on a local feature representation. Statistical learning is applied to learn most effective features and classifiers for building face detection and recognition engines. The novel imaging system and the detection and recognition engines are integrated into a powerful face recognition system. Evaluated in real-world user scenario, a condition that is harder than a technology evaluation such as Face Recognition Vendor Tests (FRVT), the system has demonstrated excellent accuracy, speed and usability.read more

Illumination Invariant Face Recognition Using Near-Infrared Images
TL;DR: An active near infrared (NIR) imaging system is presented that is able to produce face images of good condition regardless of visible lights in the environment, and it is shown that the resulting face images encode intrinsic information of the face, subject only to a monotonic transform in the gray tone.

Robust real-time face detection
Paul A. Viola,Michael Jones +1 more
TL;DR: A new image representation called the “Integral Image” is introduced which allows the features used by the detector to be computed very quickly and a method for combining classifiers in a “cascade” which allows background regions of the image to be quickly discarded while spending more computation on promising face-like regions.
