Current Work: Fusion of Visual and Thermal Face Recognition

 Here, work is presented on a system which will be developed to combine differnt modalities such as visual and thermal imageries. Face recognition systems based on visual images have reached a significant level of maturity with some practical success. Still, there is no perfect algorithm due to variations in faces and changes in scenes. Thermal IR imagery is independent of the ambient illumination since the human face and body are the emitters. Thus under poor illumination conditions, where visual face recognition system usually fails, the use of thermal imagery has great advantages. We will fuse the results of visual and thermal face recogontion in order to increase the performance.
