The task of face recognition has been actively researched in recent years. This paper
provides an up-to-date review of major human face recognition research. We first present an …

This paper details MORPH a longitudinal face database developed for researchers
investigating all facets of adult age-progression, eg face modeling, photo-realistic animation …

In this paper, an efficient representation method insensitive to varying illumination is
proposed for human face recognition. Theoretical analysis based on the human face model …

When given a small sample, we show that classification with SVM can be considerably
enhanced by using a kernel function learned from the training data prior to discrimination …

Unconstrained illumination and pose variation lead to significant variation in the
photographs of faces and constitute a major hurdle preventing the widespread use of face …

Illumination can have a significant impact on the appearance of surfaces, as the patterns of
shading, specularities and shadows change. For instance, some images of a face under …

Integration of surface normal vectors is a vital component in many shape reconstruction
algorithms that require integrating surface normals to produce their final outputs, the depth …

Human faces are remarkably similar in global properties, including size, aspect ratios, and
locations of main features, but can vary considerably in details across individuals, gender …

Face processing in video is receiving substantial attention due to its importance in many
securityrelated applications. A video provides rich information about a face (multiple frames …

We consider the problem of matching images to tell whether they come from the same scene
viewed under different lighting conditions. We show that the surface characteristics …
