Resumen o descripción

A fast automated biometric solution has been proposed to satisfy the future border control

needs of airports resulting from the rapid growth in the number of passengers worldwide.

Automated border control (ABC) systems handle the problems caused by this growth, such as

congestion at electronic gates (e-gates) or delays in the planned arrival schedules. Different

modalities, such as face, fingerprint, or iris recognition, will be used in most of the ABC systems

located at airports in the European/Schengen areas. Because facial recognition is the modality

that travelers consider most acceptable, it was decided to include this modality in all second

generation passports. Face recognition systems, installed in small kiosks inside the e-gates,

require high quality facial images to allow high performance and efficiency. Accurate face recognition

algorithms, which should be invariant to non-idealities, such as changes in pose and

expression, occlusions, and changes in lighting, are also required for these systems. In this

paper, a review of the most important face recognition algorithms described in the literature

that are invariant to these non-idealities and that can be used in ABC e-gates is presented. A

comparative analysis of the most common ABC e-gates located at the different airports is

provided. In addition, the results of an experimental evaluation of a face recognition system

when halogen, white LEDs, near infra-red, or fluorescence illumination was used, which was

conducted in order to determine which type of illumination is optimal for use in ABC e-gates,

are presented. To conclude, improvements that could be implemented in the near future in

ABC face recognition systems are described.
