Camera Independent Face Recognition Algorithm In Visual Surveillance

Face recognition in visual surveillance has the ability to reduce crime rates in public area due to the suspect’s identity can be automatically identified in real-time using the face images captured by the surveillance camera as circumstantial evidence. Several available image preprocessing techniqu...
