Abstract

Face images captured in different spectral bands, e.g. , in visual (VIS) and near infrared (NIR), are said to be heterogeneous. Although a person's face looks different in heterogeneous images, it should be classified as being from the same individual. In this paper, we present a new method, called face analogy , in the analysis-by-synthesis framework, for heterogeneous face mapping, that is, transforming face images from one type to another, and thereby performing heterogeneous face matching. Experiments show promising results.
