Cascading Trilinear Tensors for Face Authentication

This paper presents a method to improve the accuracy rates of face authentication between images with different poses. Trilinear tensors are used to adjust the pose of the training and testing images. All the images are transformed by a pose adjustment algorithm so novel images are generated that have the same pose. These novel images are then used to train and test support vector machine (SVM) face authentication functions to verify the identity of the people in the images. The overall results show that the accuracy improves when the poses of the images are adjusted.
