Unconstrained remote face recognition

Definition

Many state-of-the-art still image-based face recognition algorithms perform well, when constrained (frontal, well-illuminated, high-resolution, sharp, and full) face images are presented, especially when large number of samples are available for each face. However, their performance degrades significantly when the test images contain variations that are not present in the training images. Selection of proper classification method as well as discriminative features that can capture different visual information that are robust to variations mentioned above is very important for remote face recognition.

Introduction

During the past two decades, face recognition has received great attention and tremendous progress has been made [15]. Numerous image-based and video-based algorithms have been developed in the face recognition community [15]. Currently, most of the existing face recognition algorithms have been evaluated using...
