Improved face recognition result reranking based on shape contexts

Automatic face recognition techniques applied on particular group or mass database introduces error cases. Error prevention is crucial for the court. Reranking of recognition results based on anthropology analysis can significant improve the accuracy of automatic methods. Previous studies focused on manual facial comparison. This paper proposed a weighted facial similarity computing method based on morphological analysis of components characteristics. Search sequence of face recognition reranked according to similarity, while the interference terms can be removed. Within this research project, standardized photographs, surveillance videos, 3D face images, identity card photographs of 241 male subjects from China were acquired. Sequencing results were modified by modeling selected individual features from the DMV altas. The improved method raises the accuracy of face recognition through anthroposophic or morphologic theory.
