Abstract

Person identification is of paramount importance in security, surveillance, human-computer interfaces, and smart spaces. All these applications attempt the recognition of people based on audiovisual data. The way the systems collect these data divides them into two categories: Near-field systems: Both the sensor and the person to be identified focus on each other. Far-field systems: The sensors monitor an entire space in which the person appears, occasionally collecting useful data (face and/or speech) about that person. Also, the person pays no attention to the sensors and is possibly unaware of their existence.
