Abstract

The performance of face authentication systems has steadily improved over the last few years, mainly focusing on models rather than on feature processing. State-of-the-art methods often use the grayscale face image as input. In this paper, we propose to use the color information as a feature for face image. The proposed feature set is tested on a benchmark database, namely XM2VTS, using Enhanced Fisher linear discriminant Model (EFM). Results show that the color information improves the performance and that the proposed model achieves robust state-of-the-art results.
