Abstract :
In this paper we present a robust approach to facial profile recognition. The high robustness results from a localization method that automatically locates the facial profile from the full contour of a person´s head, and a facial profile matching method that is upgraded by a procedure for tuning facial profile normalization parameters. A model preselection method is introduced to exclude a large part of the model database from the actual matching. The facial profile recognition system has been implemented and achieved good results
