Abstract

Face recognition systems typically operate robustly only within highly constrained environments. This paper describes work aimed at performing face recognition in more unconstrained environments such as occur in security applications based on closed-circuit television (CCTV). The system described detects and tracks several people as they move through complex scenes. It uses a single, fixed camera and extracts segmented face sequences which can be used to perform face recognition or verification. Example sequences are given to illustrate performance. An application in non-intrusive access control is discussed.
