Face recognition

Participants : Guillaume Fortier [correspondant] , Jakob Verbeek.

In a collaboration with Technosens (a start-up based in Grenoble) we are developing an efficient face recognition library. During 18 months Guillaume Fortier, financed by Inria's technology transfer program, had streamlined code developed by different former team members on various platforms. This encompasses detection of characteristic points on the face (eyes, nose, mouth), computing appearance features on these points, and learning metrics on the face descriptors that are useful for face verification (faces of the same person are close, faces of different people are far away).
