Face Recognition from Low Resolution Images

This paper describes an analysis of the real-time system for face recognition from video monitoring images. First, we briefly describe main features of the standards for biometric face images. Available scientific databases have been checked for compliance with these biometric standards. Next, we concentrate on the analysis of the prepared face recognition application based on the eigenface approach. Finally, results of our face recognition experiments with images of reduced resolution are presented. It turned out that the proposed and tested algorithm is quite resistant to changing the resolution. The recognition results are acceptable even for low-resolution images (16×20 pixels).
