The Bochum/USC Face Recognition System And How it Fared in the FERET Phase III Test

This paper summarizes the Bochum/USC face recognition system, our preparations for the FERET Phase III test, and test results as far as they have been made known to us. Our technology is based on Gabor wavelets and elastic bunch graph matching. We briefly discuss our technology in relation to biological and PCA based systems and indicate current activities in the lab and potential future applications.
