Rahul Vivek Purohit, Ayad Tareq Imam · 2013
In forensic science applications, when an image is partially damaged or occluded, some ancillary information like facial marks and gender can be used to enhance the face recognition accuracy. This information coupled with traditional face matcher provides more descriptive evidence and at the same time may speed up the recognition process.
