Definition
Face images can be captured in different spectral bands, e.g., Visual (VIS), near infrared (NIR), or thermal infrared (TIR), or as measurements of 3D facial shape. These different image types, due to different image formation characteristics, are said to be heterogeneous. More generally, even within the VIS type, the face images can come from different image sensors, such as charge coupled device (CCD) and complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) cameras, photo scans, face sketches, under different illumination conditions, with different image resolutions and different image quality. These are heterogeneities in the broad sense. Although heterogeneous face images of a given person differ by pixel values, the identity of the face should be classified as the same. The processing and matching of these diverse face images is collectively referred to as heterogeneous face biometrics (HFBs).
