    Abstract

    This paper presents a robust and dynamic face recognition technique based on
    the extraction and matching of devised probabilistic graphs drawn on SIFT
    features related to independent face areas. The face matching strategy is based
    on matching individual salient facial graph characterized by SIFT features as
    connected to facial landmarks such as the eyes and the mouth. In order to
    reduce the face matching errors, the Dempster-Shafer decision theory is applied
    to fuse the individual matching scores obtained from each pair of salient
    facial features.

    Abstract

    This paper presents a new face identification system based on Graph Matching
    Technique on SIFT features extracted from face images. Although SIFT features
    have been successfully used for general object detection and recognition, only
    recently they were applied to face recognition. This paper further investigates
    the performance of identification techniques based on Graph matching topology
    drawn on SIFT features which are invariant to rotation, scaling and
    translation.

    Abstract

    Faces are highly deformable objects which may easily change their appearance
    over time. Not all face areas are subject to the same variability. Therefore
    decoupling the information from independent areas of the face is of paramount
    importance to improve the robustness of any face recognition technique. This
    paper presents a robust face recognition technique based on the extraction and
    matching of SIFT features related to independent face areas. Both a global and
    local (as recognition from parts) matching strategy is proposed.
