Title
Fusing face recognition from multiple cameras
Abstract
Face recognition from video has recently received much interest. However, several challenges for such a system exist, such as resolution, occlusion (from objects or self-occlusion), motion blur, and illumination. The aim of this paper is to overcome the problem of self-occlusion by observing a person from multiple cameras with uniquely different views of the person's face and fusing the recognition results in a meaningful way. Each camera may only capture a part of the face, such as the right or left half of the face. We propose a methodology to use cylinder head models (CHMs) to track the face of a subject in multiple cameras. The problem of face recognition from video is then transformed to a still face recognition problem which has been well studied. The recognition results are fused based on the extracted pose of the face. For instance, the recognition result from a frontal face should be weighted higher than the recognition result from a face with a yaw of 30°. Eigenfaces is used for still face recognition along with the average-half-face to reduce the effect of transformation errors. Results of tracking are further aggregated to produce 100% accuracy using video taken from two cameras in our lab.
