Abstract
Various implementations of the invention perform facial recognition on a target image compared against a color image from an image gallery, where the target image was acquired by an infrared-sensitive camera of a target that was illuminated with infrared light. According to various implementations of the invention, a blue component and a green component of the pixels in the color image are suppressed or eliminated, and facial recognition is performed between the target image and the color-suppressed image.
