Title: Heterogeneous Face Recognition
Speaker: Prof. Dr. Ran He, National Laboratory of Pattern Recognition, China

Where: Online (Zoom)
Ubiquitous vision sensors not only facilitate the wide application of face recognition but also generate various heterogeneous sets of facial images. Matching faces across different sensing modalities raises the problem of heterogeneous face recognition (HFR) or cross domain face recognition. Due to significant difference in sensing processes, heterogeneous images of the same subject have large appearance variations, which has distinguished HFR from regular visible face recognition. During last several years, our research group have investigated a range such problems and developed applications. This talk will focus on research and recent advances of heterogeneous face recognition, including fundamental models, face recognition method and recognition from synthesis.
