Transformation, Ranking, and Clustering for Face Recognition Algorithm Comparison

March 1, 2002
Author(s)
Stefan D. Leigh, Nathanael A. Heckert, Andrew L. Rukhin, J G. Phillips, Elaine M. Newton, M Moody, K Kniskern, S Heath
The performance of face recognition algorithms is recently of increased interest, although to date empirical analyses of algorithms have been limited to rank-based scores such a cumulative match score and receiver operating characteristic. This paper

Dependence Characteristics of Face Recognition Algorithms

January 1, 2002
Author(s)
Andrew L. Rukhin, Patrick J. Grother, P J. Phillips, Stefan D. Leigh, E M. Newton, Nathanael A. Heckert
Nonparametric statistics for quantifying dependence between the output rankings of face recognition algorithms are described. Analysis of the archived results of a large face recognition study shows that even the better algorithms exhibit significantly
