Describable visual facial attributes are now commonplace in human biometrics and affective
computing, with existing algorithms even reaching a sufficient point of maturityfor placement …

We propose an approach that bridges the gap between the visible and IR band of the
electromagnetic spectrum, namely the mid-wave infrared or MWIR (3–5\upmu m μ m) and …

LBP coefficients are essential and determine the priority of gray differences. The objectives
of this paper are to reveal this and propose a method for finding an optimal priority through …

Performing a direct match between images from different spectra (ie, passive infrared and
visible) is challenging because each spectrum contains different information pertaining to …

Although most people are good at face recognition, we are particularly good at recognizing
the faces of individuals who share our race, gender, age and species. What factors might …

Face biometrics leverages tools and technology in order to automate the identification of
individuals. In most cases, biometric face recognition (FR) can be used for forensic …

This dissertation investigates the advantages and limitations of the heterogeneous problem
of matching infrared long-range, night time face images against their visible counterparts …
