Feature-Level Fusion with Incomplete Data for Automatic Person Identification. This research addresses the current key problems in automated person recognition with incomplete data using multiple traits. The outcomes of this research will not only make a significant contribution to fundamental theory but also result in a wide range of crime and terrorism preventing applications including police database searching, access control, security monitoring and surveillance. They can be used either by p ....Feature-Level Fusion with Incomplete Data for Automatic Person Identification. This research addresses the current key problems in automated person recognition with incomplete data using multiple traits. The outcomes of this research will not only make a significant contribution to fundamental theory but also result in a wide range of crime and terrorism preventing applications including police database searching, access control, security monitoring and surveillance. They can be used either by police and law enforcement agencies, or at places of airport, government buildings, military facilities and even sensitive areas in offices and factories. It will help reduce crime, enhance the security of the nation to a world-advanced level, and generate new industry and export opportunities for Australian security industry.Read moreRead less
Face recognition under varying pose and lighting--towards automatic personal identification for surveillance systems. One of the key remaining problems in computerized human face recognition is the need to handle the variability in appearance due to changes in pose. This proposed research targets at identifying a person with a face image in a pose different from the example view by using a novel texture analysis and synthesis technique. This technique makes use of facial textures at different vi ....Face recognition under varying pose and lighting--towards automatic personal identification for surveillance systems. One of the key remaining problems in computerized human face recognition is the need to handle the variability in appearance due to changes in pose. This proposed research targets at identifying a person with a face image in a pose different from the example view by using a novel texture analysis and synthesis technique. This technique makes use of facial textures at different viewing directions and can recover appropriate textures for virtual views in arbitrary poses. The successfulness of the proposed research would make a technical breakthrough towards solving the major remaining problem in face recognition.Read moreRead less
Automatic Human Age Estimation Based on Visual Information. Age verification is important for many security applications including passport control for border security, and protecting children from adult websites, venues, or products. Accurate, reliable and practical age estimation or verification technologies would be of enormous benefit for 'Safeguarding Australia'. The ability of a machine to estimate a person's age and provide an age-appropriate interface also has benefits for the young and ....Automatic Human Age Estimation Based on Visual Information. Age verification is important for many security applications including passport control for border security, and protecting children from adult websites, venues, or products. Accurate, reliable and practical age estimation or verification technologies would be of enormous benefit for 'Safeguarding Australia'. The ability of a machine to estimate a person's age and provide an age-appropriate interface also has benefits for the young and old in our society. The outcome of this project, practical technologies for automatic human age estimation based on visual information, will dramatically change the current (non-technology based) methods of age verification and create new opportunities for customised human-machine interfaces.
