ICB-RW 2016: International challenge on biometric recognition in the wild

Abstract

Biometric recognition in totally wild conditions, such as the observed in visual surveillance scenarios has not been achieved yet. The ICB-RW competition was promoted to support this endeavor, being the first biometric challenge carried out in data that realistically result from surveillance scenarios. The competition relied on an innovative master-slave surveillance system for the acquisition of face imagery at-a-distance and on-the-move. This paper describes the competition details and reports the performance achieved by the participants algorithms.
