FERET Evaluation |
Last Updated: June 07 2001 |
| This page documents the evaluations of fourteen of the algorithms tested under the FERET program that ran from 1993 to 1997. They were tested using defined partitions of the FERET database. |
Two performance metrics are quoted:
| Identification | cumulative match scores |
| Verification | receiver operating characteristics |
The C++ code used to generate these results may be downloaded here.
A probe-by-probe analysis is given here:
| Rank of match for each probe |
The effect of gallery size is given here:
| Identification Performance vs. Gallery Size |
The algorithms reported on here are:
| arl_cor | Army Research Laboratory | Baseline Correlation | |
| arl_ef | Army Research Laboratory | Baseline Eigenface | |
| ef_hist_dev_ang | NIST | Seven eigenface-based systems a common image processing front end and eigenface representation but differing only in the distance metric: "ang" is angle; "anm" is something; "l1" is Manhattan distance; "l2" is euclidean; "ml1" and "ml2" are Mahalanobis weighted versions of "l1" and "l2"; and "md" is unknown. | |

Four specific investigations are reported here:
| dupI | Duplicate One | Images taken upto three years after their matching image |
| dupII | Duplicate Two | Images taken between 18 and 36 months after their matching image |
| fafb | Expression | Images of subjects with alternate facial expressions |
| fafc | Illumination | Images taken under different lighting conditions |
