Introduction
Project Name : Integrating Multiple Visual Biometic for Human Recognition

Objective : The objective of this project is to develop a new video based recognition system to recognize non-cooperative individuals who appear in camera with mostly side view or half profile view. It has been found to be difficult to recognize a person in practical surveillance environment when the face information is incomplete. Although face reconstruction technique can help to transform an incomplete face into a frontal face for recognition, it can hardly work when only 30%~40% face appears in the surveillance camera as usually happens when a non-cooperative individual walking though. For optimal performance, a video surveillance system should use as much information as possible from the observations. A fusion system, which combines face and other visual information, is a potential approach to accomplish the task of human recognition. The outcome of this project is expected to help enhancing the performance on video-based surveillance substantially. We expect the proposed fusion system is more reliable than the recognition system with single measure.
