Abstract

This paper describes a new approach for identity recognition using video sequences. While most image and video recognition systems discriminate identities using physical information only, our approach exploits the behavioural information of head dynamics; in particular the displacement signals of few head features directly extracted at the image plane level. Due to the lack of standard video database, identification and verification scores have been obtained using a small collection of video sequences; the results for this new approach are nevertheless promising.
