Influences of image disturbances on 2D face recognition

In the current development of deploying biometric methods, face recognition takes a leading role. Therefore it is of interest what barriers might arise in using face recognition for certain applications. Because of the wide range of possible uses of biometrics and face recognition a technology evaluation on which image disturbances inuence face recognition algorithms was done in the project BioFace III. This includes tests regarding head rotation, contrast, compression and more.
