Abstract

Performance of biometric systems is dependent on quality of acquired biometric samples. Poor sample quality is a main reason for matching errors in biometric systems and may be the main weakness of some implementations. In this paper, we present an approach for standardization of facial image quality, and develop facial symmetry based methods for its assessment by which facial asymmetries caused by non-frontal lighting and improper facial pose can be measured. Experimental results are provided to illustrate the concepts, definitions and effectiveness.
