Abstract
Facial recognition system that compares narrow band ultraviolet-absorbing skin chromophores to identify a subject. Ultraviolet images show much greater facial detail than visible light images, so matching of ultraviolet images may be much more accurate. Embodiments of the system may have a camera that is sensitive to ultraviolet, and a special lens and filter that pass the relevant ultraviolet wavelengths. A database of known persons may contain reference ultraviolet facial images tagged with each person's identity. Reference images and subject images may be processed to locate the face, identify features (such as chromophores), compare and match feature descriptors, and calculate correlation scores between the subject image and each reference image. If the subject is moving, the subject's face may be tracked, a 3D model of the subject's face may be developed from multiple images, and this model may be rotated so that the orientation matches that of the reference images.
