Abstract

Although face recognition applications are growing, robust face recognition is still a challenging task due e.g. to variations in face poses, facial expressions, or lighting conditions. In this paper, we propose a new method which allows both automatic face detection and recognition and incorporates an interactive selection of facial features in conjunction with our new pose-correction algorithm. Our resulting system we called iFR successfully recognizes faces across pose, while being computationally efficient and outperforming standard approaches, as demonstrated in tests carried out on publicly available standard datasets.
