Abstract

In this work we present an efficient approach for physiological features extraction from infrared face images. The physiological features represent the network of blood vessels under the face skin. These networks are unique to each individual. The proposed technique permits the construction of Faceprints (similar to fingerprints) from thermal infrared images of faces. The extracted faceprint is unique and can be used in infrared face recognition.
