Topic: Face Recognition: Challenges, Applications and Some New Technologies
Abstract: Biometric recognition has attracted the attention of scientists, investors, government agencies as well as the media for the great potential in many application domains. It turns out that there are still a number of intrinsic drawbacks in all biometric techniques. Among the many developed techniques for biometric recognition, face analysis seems to be the most promising and interesting modality. The ability of the human visual system of analyzing unknown faces, is an example of the amount of information which can be extracted from face images. This is not limited to the space or spectral domain, but heavily involves the time evolution of the visual signal. Nonetheless, there are still many open problems which need to be “faced” as well. This not only requires to devise new algorithms but to determine the real potential and limitations of existing techniques, also exploiting the time dimensionality to boost recognition performances.
This talk will review several methods for face matching, based on diverse similarity measure and image representations, both in 2D and 3D. The potential application of these technologies to forensic scenarios will be also considered.
