Abstract
Face recognition is an area that has attracted a lot of interest. Much of the research in this field was conducted using visible images. With visible cameras the recognition is prone to errors due to illumination changes. To avoid the problems encountered in the visible spectrum many authors have proposed the use of infrared. In this paper we give an overview of the state of the art in face recognition using infrared images. Emphasis is given to more recent works. A growing field in this area is multimodal fusion; work conducted in this field is also presented in this paper and publicly available Infrared face image databases are introduced.
