Method of face recognition from thermal images by

The current article examines an approach for face recognition based on thermal imaging methods and Matlab image processing. Images of persons, captured with infrared camera, are submitted to filtration and morphological operations in order to extract parts of the face that could be used for its recognition. Then the images are processed in order to determine the specific contours of the face of the captured person as well as the blood vessels. The aim of this article is to present the methods of image processing and comparison between the images of individuals used in this face recognition system.
