Abstract

In this paper we present a collection of C and C++ biometric performance benchmark algorithms called FacePerf. The benchmark includes three different face recognition algorithms that are historically important to the face recognition community: Haar-based face detection, Principal Components Analysis, and Elastic Bunch Graph Matching. The algorithms are fast enough to be useful in realtime systems; however, improving performance would allow the algorithms to process more images or search larger face databases. Bottlenecks for each phase in the algorithms have been identified. A cosine approximation was able to reduce the execution time of the Elastic Bunch Graph Matching implementation by 32%.
