Abstract

Face recognition in video has gained wide attention as a covert method for surveillance to enhance security in a variety of application domains (e.g., airports). A video contains temporal information as well as multiple instances of a face, so it is expected to lead to better face recognition performance compared to still face images. However, faces appearing in a video have substantial variations in pose and lighting. These pose and lighting variations can be effectively modeled using 3D face models. Combining the advantages of 2D video and 3D face models, we propose a face recognition system that identifies faces in a video. Thesystem utilizes the rich information in a video and overcomes the pose and lighting variations using 3D face model. The description of the proposed method and preliminary results are provided.
