Future of Face Recognition: A Review

Abstract The Face Recognition (FR) is growing as a major research area because of the broad choice of applications in the fields of commercial and law enforcement. Traditional FR methods based on Visible Spectrum (VS) are facing challenges like object illumination, pose variation, expression changes, and facial disguises. Unfortunately these limitations decrease the performance in object identification and verification. To overcome all these limitations, the Infrared Spectrum (IRS) may be used in human FR. So it leads and encourages the researchers for continuous research in this area of FR. Simultaneously, the present study emphasizes the use of three dimensional cubic dataset i.e. Multi/ Hyperspectral Imagery Data in FR. The IR based Multi/ Hyperspectral Imaging System can minimize the several limitations arise in the existing and classical FR system because the skin spectra derived with cubic dataset depicts the unique features for an individual. Multi/ Hyperspectral Imaging System provides valuable discriminants for individual appearance that cannot be obtained by additional imaging system that's why this may be the future of human FR. This paper also presents a detailed and time to time review of the literature on FR in IRS.
