Abstract

In this work we present an appearance-based 3-D Face Recognition approach that is able to recognize faces in video sequences, independent from face pose. For this we combine eigen light-fields with probabilistic propagation over time for evidence integration. Eigen light-fields allow us to build an appearance based 3-D model of an object; probabilistic methods for evidence integration are attractive in this context as they allow a systematic handling of uncertainty and an elegant way for fusing temporal information. Experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach. We tested this approach successfully on more than 20 testing sequences, with 74 different individuals.
