Abstract

A solution to the problem of person identification by facial profile is proposed. The approach includes the extraction of the profile from an image, building a profile vector representation, and comparing the profiles on the basis of homeomorphism. Results of the experiments estimating the recognition rate, optimizing the parameter values of the method, and testing its sensitivity to input data variation are reported.
