A morphing system for effective human face recognition

In spite of the significant progress in automatic face recognition , there is still a need to perform many face recognition tasks by human operators due to both the special requirements in certain application scenarios and the poor performance of automatic face recognition in uncontrolled environments. In this paper, a novel system to assist human face recognition is proposed. The system utilizes, on one hand, the psychological discoveries in human face recognition and on the other, advanced face image processing techniques, more specifically 3D morphable model and 3D face morphing.
