Funded Activity Summary

Techniques to use stereo vision for improving person identification systems based on face recognition. The broad aim of this project is to use three-dimensional information available by processing images from stereo cameras in order to bridge the gap between constrained face recognition systems and viable systems that work well under varying illumination, changes in pose and variations in spectacles, facial hair and attire. Such a system will be useful in passenger verification at airports and as a component of personal identification systems to counter terrorism. The key to successful face location and recognition is an effective combination of all data - range, luminance and colour - and techniques for this will be the discovered outcomes.
