Fully automatic face normalization and single sample face recognition in unconstrained environments

作者:

Highlights:

• We present a fully automatic face normalization and recognition system.

• It normalizes the face images for both in-plane and out-of-plane pose variations.

• The performance of AAM fitting is improved using a novel initialization technique.

• HOG and Gabor features are fused using CCA to have more discriminative features.

• The proposed system recognizes non-frontal faces using only a single gallery sample.
