An experimental analysis of three acquisition scenarios for face recognition at a distance is reported, namely: close, medium, and far distance between camera and query face, the t...
The latest multi-biometric grand challenge (MBGC 2008) sets up a new experiment in which near infrared (NIR) face videos containing partial faces are used as a probe set and the vi...
This paper proposes a novel 3D lossy compression algorithm tailored for 3D faces. We analyse the effects of compression on the face verification rate and measure recognition perf...

I propose a set of criteria which distinguish a grand challenge in science or engineering from the many other kinds of short-term or long-term research problems that engage the int...
The UK Grand Challenges for Computing Research is an initiative to map out certain key areas that could be used to help drive research over the next 10–15 years. One of the ident...
