Distance Measures for Gabor Jets-based Face Authentication: A Comparative Evaluation. (2007)
Gonzalez-Jimenez, Daniel, Bicego, Manuele, Tangelder, Hans, Schouten, Ben, Ambekar, Onkar, Alba Castro, ...
Local Gabor features (jets) have been widely used in face recognition systems. Once the sets of jets have been extracted from the two faces to be compared, a proper measure of similarity (or...
Biometrics and their use in e-passports (2007)
A succesful design, deployment and operation of biometric systems depends highly on the results for existing biometrical technologies and components. These existing technologies as well as new...
