Abstract

This paper presents a method for recognition of infrared images of faces. In this paper, we propose two steps to realize the recognition faces based on InfraRed images. Firstly, find out the signature in face infrared face thermograms using marphological operations. Secondly, measure the texture parameters of face regions.
