Online face recognition system through the Internet

Abstract

This paper presents an online face recognition system through the Internet. Generally speaking, the amount of transmitted data is related to the time delay over the Internet, and thus the compressed image is transmitted to the remote server to reduce the time delay in this work. First we investigate the relation among the face recognition rate, the compression ratio and image size, and then present the effective multi-frame-based online face recognition system based on the observation. Finally, experimental results tested on the real Internet environment are provided to show the superior performance of the proposed system.
