Abstract:This paper presents a robust approach for recognition of thermal face images based on decision level fusion of 34 di®erent region classi¯ers. The region classi¯ers concentrate on local variations. They use singular value decomposition (SVD) for feature extraction. Fusion of decisions of the region classi¯er is done by using majority voting technique. The algorithm is tolerant against false exclusion of thermal information produced by the presence of inconsistent distribution of temperature statistics which gen… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
