With the pervasive use of handheld digital devices such as camera phones and PDAs, people have started to capture images as a way of recording information. However, due to the non...
Extending recognition to uncontrolled situations is a key challenge for practical face recognition systems. Finding efficient and discriminative facial appearance descriptors is c...
In this paper we describe a multi-modal ear and face biometric system. The system is comprised of two components: a 3D ear recognition component and a 2D face recognition componen...
—Recovering the 3D shape of a nonrigid surface from a single viewpoint is known to be both ambiguous and challenging. Resolving the ambiguities typically requires prior knowledge...
This paper proposes a method for face reconstruction that makes use of only a small set of feature points. Faces can be modeled by forming linear combinations of prototypes of sha...
