A Novel Study of Feature Extraction Techniques with Thermal Imaging for Face Recognition

Abstract

This paper presents a study of Thermal imaging and effective methods of feature extraction process for Face Recognition with thermal imaging. Thermal imaging method is chosen due to its robustness towards ambient light change. This system will be considered as most secure and reliable for accesses control/monitoring system. This system provides us three type images like thermal, visible and fused images of thermal plus visible. Among all biometric attributes, thermal faces trying to overcome accuracy issue of visible imaginary like background, illumination and luminance density, as well as Fake data like photographs or 3D object like statue. In this paper experiment is carried out on sensor level fused images i.e. thermal plus visible faces results are obtain by using PCA.
