The presented study concerns development of a facial detection algorithm operating robustly in the thermal infrared spectrum.The paper presents brief review existing face algorithms, describes experiment methodology and selected algorithms.For comparative three methods presenting different approaches were chosen, namely Viola-Jones, YOLOv2 Faster-RCNN.All these algorithms investigated along with various configurations parameters evaluated using publicly available datasets.The comparison...
Development of facial recognition or expression algorithms requires input data to thoroughly test the performance in various conditions.Researchers are developing methods face challenges like illumination, pose and changes, as well disguises.In this paper, we propose establish a dataset thermal images, which contains set neutral images poses with different posed expressions collected infrared camera.Since properties domain strongly depend on time, order show impact aging, collection has been...
Face recognition operating in visible domains exists many aspects of our lives, while the remaining parts spectrum including near and thermal infrared are not sufficiently explored. Thermal-visible face is a promising biometric modality that combines affordable technology high imaging qualities domain with low-light capabilities infrared. In this work, we present results study field thermal-visible verification using four different algorithm architectures tested several publicly available...
Pervasive and useR fOcused biomeTrics bordEr projeCT (PROTECT) is an EU project funded by the Horizon 2020 research Innovation Programme. The main aim of PROTECT was to build advanced biometric-based person identification system that works robustly across a range border crossing types has strong user-centric features. This work presents case study multibiometric verification developed within PROTECT. been be suitable for different borders such as air, sea, land borders. covers two use cases:...
Face recognition is widely explored research area which achieved high level of maturity. It attracts scientists to explore new possibilities and various spectral domains. Thermal infrared spectrum seems be a promising modality may complement visible domain systems. process consists several stages such as image acquisition, face detection, feature extraction matching. Extraction features the one most important stage that can performed using approaches, appearance-based methods, local...
Various template protection schemes are providing solutions to fulfil privacy preservation in biometric recognition systems, among them Cancellable Biometrics (CB). In this paper we propose two CB schemes, so called non-invertible many-to-one transforms, that alter the image's grey values key-dependent manner. The obtained performance and unlinkability results compared other signal domain cancellable transformation proposed earlier literature (block re-mapping warping). Experiments conducted...
This paper presents a study on the influence of psychophysical stimuli facial thermal emissions.Two independent groups are proposed to investigate changes resulting from human stress and physical exhaustion.One pertains effort while other is linked invoked by solving simple written test.Subjects' face reactions were measured through collecting analysing long-wavelength infrared images.A methodology for numerical processing images proposed.Results analysis with respect different regions...
This paper reports on a new approach to face verification in long-wavelength infrared radiation. Two images were combined into one double image, which was then used as an input for classification based neural networks. For testing, we exploited two external and homemade thermal databases acquired various variants. The method is reported achieve true acceptance rate of about 83%. We proved that the proposed outperforms other studied baseline methods by 20 percentage points. also analyzed...
Biometrics is a science that studies and analyzes physical structure of human body behaviour people. found many applications ranging from border control systems, forensics systems for criminal investigations to access control. Unique identifiers, also referred as modalities are used distinguish individuals. One the most common natural identifiers face. As result decades investigations, face recognition achieved high level maturity, however in visible spectrum still challenging due...
Biometrics refers to unique human characteristics. Each characteristic may be used label and describe individuals for automatic recognition of a person based on physiological or behavioural properties. One the most natural popular biometric trait is face. The common research methods face are visible light. State-of-the-art systems operating in light spectrum achieve very high level accuracy under controlled environmental conditions. Thermal infrared imagery seems promising alternative...
This work presents a novel multimodal biometric dataset with emerging traits including 3D face, thermal iris on-the-move, mobile, somatotype and smartphone sensors. was created to resemble on-the-move characteristics in applications such as border control. The five types of were selected they can be captured while are contactless, show potential for use fusion verification system control scenario. Innovative sensor hardware used the data capture. featuring these will valuable contribution...
Biometrics is a technique for automatic recognition of person based on physiological or behavior characteristics. Since the characteristics used are unique, biometrics can create direct link between and identity, variety The human face one most important biometric modalities authentication. popular method which relies processing visual information seems to be imperfect. Thermal infrared imagery may promising alternative complement visible range imaging due its several reasons. This paper...
Face re-identification is a challenging task which aimed to check similarity of two faces shown in the images. recognition system have been investigated since many years mostly visible domain. We investigate face methods based on facial images acquired far-infrared range (thermal spectrum). The main reason for using thermal infrared observe people night conditions. However, this not free challenges. In paper we impact various head positions efficiency re-identification. presents our...
The paper describes the results of experimental research on mobile verification travellers based fingerprints. Three-day tests were carried out at border crossing in Terespol, Poland. developed system automatically acquires personal and biometric data (fingerprints) from Polish passport, determines their quality compares with live collected traveller. In addition, measures time individual stages process total transaction time. For number correctly scanned equal to 128, false acceptance rate...
