Abstract :
In this paper one investigation has been done to find the optimum level of fusion to find a fused image from visual as well as thermal images. Because of the use of face recognition system in critical areas like, authenticating an authorized person in highly secured areas, investigation of criminals, online monitoring etc, face recognition system should be very robust and accurate one. This work is an attempt to fuse visual and thermal face images at optimum level to extract the advantages of visual as well as thermal images. In our work, Object Tracking and Classification Beyond Visible Spectrum (OTCBVS) database has been used for the visual and thermal images. Among all the experiments a maximum recognition result obtained is 93%.
