Face Recognition Based on Sequence of Images
This addresses face recognition for security or identification applications, but it appears incremental as it builds on existing structure-from-motion and multi-view stereo methods.
The paper tackles face recognition by reconstructing 3D face models from image sequences without a generic deformable model, achieving experimental verification but no specific performance numbers.
This paper presents a face recognition method based on a sequence of images. Face shape is reconstructed from images using a combination of structure-from-motion and multi-view stereo methods. The reconstructed 3D face model is compared against models held in a gallery. The novel element in the presented approach is the fact, that the reconstruction is based only on input images and doesn't require a generic, deformable face model. Experimental verification of the proposed method is also included.
