Definition

Video-based face recognition is the technique of establishing the identity of one or multiple persons present in a video, based on their facial characteristics. Given the input face video, a typical video-based face recognition approach combines the temporal characteristics of facial motion with appearance changes for recognition. This often involves temporal characterization of faces for recognition, building 3D model or a super-resolution image of the face, or simply learning the appearance variations from the multiple video frames. The ability to generalize across pose, illumination, expression, etc. depends on the choice of combination. Video-based face recognition is particularly useful in surveillance scenarios in which it may not be possible to capture a single good frame as required by most still image based methods.

Introduction

Face recognition is one of the most successful applications in...
