Title: Face Recognition using Set Estimation Procedure

Abstract: Most of the conventional face recognition algorithms are dissimilarity based, and for the sake of open and closed test classification one needs to put a proper threshold on the dissimilarity value. On the basis of the decision threshold, a biometric recognition system should be in a position to accept the query image as client or reject him as imposter. However, the selection of proper threshold of a given class in a dataset is an open question, as it is related to the difficulty levels dictated in face recognition problems. In this talk we shall describe a thresholding technique for a real life scenario where the query face image may not be present in the training database, i.e. often referred by the biometric researchers as the open test identification. The theoretical basis of the thresholding technique and its corresponding verification on several datasets has been successfully demonstrated here. The proposed threshold selection is based on statistical method of set estimation and is guided by minimal spanning tree. It has been found that the proposed technique performs better than the ROC curve based threshold selection mechanism.
