Biometrics
• Refer to a broad range of technologies
• Automate the identification or verification of an
individual
• Based on human characteristics
– Physiological: Face, fingerprint, iris
– Behavioural: Hand-written signature, gait, voice

Faces
• Faces are integral to human interaction
• Manual facial recognition is already used
in everyday authentication applications
– ID Card systems (passports, health card, and
driver’s license)
– Booking stations
– Surveillance operations
Facial Recognition
• Facial recognition requires 2 steps:
– Facial Detection (will not present today)
– Facial Recognition
• Typical Facial Recognition technology
automates the recognition of faces using
one of two 2 modeling approaches:
– Face appearance
• 2D Eigen faces
• 3D Morphable Model
– Face geometry
• 3D Expression Invariant Recognition
Facial Recognition Algorithms
• 2D Eigenface
– Principle Component Analysis (PCA)
• 3D Face Recognition
– 3D Expression Invariant Recognition
– 3D Morphable Model
Facial Recognition: Eigenface
• Decompose face
images into a small
set of characteristic
feature images.
• A new face is
compared to these
stored images.
• A match is found if the
new faces is close to
one of these images.
Facial Recognition: PCA - Overview
• Create training set of faces and calculate
the eigenfaces
• Project the new image onto the
eigenfaces.
• Check if image is close to “face space”.
• Check closeness to one of the known
faces.
• Add unknown faces to the training set and
re-calculate
Facial Recognition: PCA – Training Set
Facial Recognition: PCA Training
• Find average of
training images.
• Subtract average face
from each image.
• Create covariance
matrix
• Generate eigenfaces
• Each original image
can be expressed as
a linear combination
of the eigenfaces –
face space
Facial Recognition: PCA Recognition
• A new image is project into the
“facespace”.
• Create a vector of weights that describes
this image.
• The distance from the original image to
this eigenface is compared.
• If within certain thresholds then it is a
recognized face.
Facial Recognition: 3D Expression Invariant
Recognition
• Treats face as a
deformable object.
• 3D system maps a
face.
• Captures facial
geometry in canonical
form.
• Can be compared to
other canonical forms.
Facial Recognition: 3D Morphable Model
• Create a 3D face
model from 2D
images.
• Synthetic facial
images are created to
add to training set.
• PCA can then be
done using these
images
Pros and Cons
• 2D face recognition methods are sensitive
to lighting, head orientations, facial
expressions and makeup.
• 2D images contain limited information
• 3D Representation of face is less
susceptible to isometric deformations
(expression changes).
• 3D approach overcomes problem of large
facial orientation changes
Communication
• Common Biometric Exchange Formats
Framework (CBEFF)
• XML implementation of CBEFF
• CBEFF Data Elements
– Standard Biometric Header
– Biometric Specific Memory Block
– Signature or MAC
Conclusion
• Facial scan has unique advantages over
other biometrics
• Core technologies are highly researched
• Automated facial detection and facial
recognition algorithm are not yet mature
