Abstract
Systems, methods, and computer readable media for determining and applying face recognition parameter sets are described. In general, techniques are disclosed for identifying and constructing a unique combination of facial recognition discriminators into a 'face feature vector' that has been found to be more robust (e.g., stable to image noise, a person's pose, and scene illumination) and accurate (e.g., provide high recognition rates) than prior art techniques. More particularly, a face feature vector may be generated by the combination of shape descriptors (e.g., as generated by two-dimensional and three-dimensional shape models) and texture descriptors (e.g., as generated by global and local texture models).
