Published
Author(s)
Patrick J. Grother
Abstract
Further analyses of the systems tested in the Face Recognition Vendor Test 2002 are reported. These supplement those covered in the primary Evaluation Report of March 2003. Specifically this report is intended to appeal to a more specialized audience; it contains results on multi-sample and multi-vendor fusion, score normalization, performance on an ethnic subpopulation, and the effect on performance of image-specific quality metrics. The report also includes methods for standardized reporting of open-set one-to-many evaluation.
