Abstract

This paper investigates the use of the profile shape to recognize human faces. In order to test the intrinsic efficiency of profile authentication, we will make use of a method that directly works on the profile contour encoded as x-y coordinates. This way, the performance rated here will only depend on the ability of the profile view to dissociate faces and not on the choice of a given set of profile features and/or the quality of their extraction.
