Abstract

Face recognition based only on the visual spectrum is not accurate or robust enough to be used in uncontrolled environments. This paper describes a fusion of visible and infrared (IR) imagery for face recognition. In this paper, a scheme based on membership function and fuzzy integral is proposed to fuse information from the two modalities. Recognition rate is used to evaluate the fusion scheme. Experimental results show the scheme improves recognition performance substantially.
