Government agencies are investing a considerable amount of resources into improving
security systems as result of recent terrorist events that dangerously exposed flaws and …

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

In this paper, we present the computational tools and a hardware prototype for 3D face
recognition. Full automation is provided through the use of advanced multistage alignment …

Establishing identity is becoming critical in our vastly interconnected society. Questions such
as “Is she really who she claims to be?,”“Is this person authorized to use this facility?,” or “Is …

Human ear is a new class of relatively stable biometrics that has drawn researchers'
attention recently. In this paper, we propose a complete human recognition system using 3D …

The illumination variation problem is one of the well-known problems in face recognition in
uncontrolled environment. In this paper an extensive and up-to-date survey of the existing …

Much of the existing face recognition systems operate in 2D. As the search for improved
recognition performance intensifies, alternative methods, eg, 3D, are under consideration …

Mosaicing entails the consolidation of information represented by multiple images through
the application of a registration and blending procedure. We describe a face mosaicing …

One of most challenging problems in 3D face recognition is matching images containing
different expressions in the probe and gallery sets. Face images containing the same …

Automated human face recognition is required in numerous applications. While
considerable progress has been made in color/two dimensional (2D) face recognition, three …
