    Abstract

    In this paper, we introduce a registration method for side-view face recognition that is suitable for home safety applications. We use cameras attached at door posts, and recognize people as they pass through doors to estimate their location in the house. First, we present a new database that is collected using this setup, where we use side cameras and ambient light. We recorded videos of 14 people that pass through doors in 18 different paths. Next, we propose our recognition method where we automatically find the profile to register the face images. By applying hierarchical clustering we detect the frames that include falsely detected profiles and pose variations, and automatically remove them from the video sequence to improve our results. After registering, we find the nose tip, apply recognition based on profiles, and analyze our results.
