Abstract

We investigate the effect of quantified statistical facial asymmetry as a biometric under expression variations. Our findings show that the facial asymmetry measures (AsymFaces) are computationally feasible, containing discriminative information and providing synergy when combined with Fisherface and Eigen-face methods on image data of two publicly available face databases (Cohn-Kanade and Feret).
