Biometric recognition from imagery has been studied for several decades, and the frontier of recognition capabilities has expanded with the development of underlying computational tools. Deep neural networks, for instance, have enabled robust face recognition from close ranges and from viewpoints commonly represented in web-scale face image datasets. With increased data resources and funding sources, an area of emphasis has developed around recognition from imagery captured at long ranges and high altitudes. These situations are characterized by challenges such as atmospheric turbulence, occlusion, and non-traditional viewpoints.

Call for papers
The topic of vision-based recognition in uncontrolled environments has occupied researchers for decades. The addition of large standoff (lateral and/or vertical) distances between sensing platforms and items being sensed adds new challenges to recognition in less-constrained circumstances. There are focused research programs addressing this issue, along with the supporting challenges of data collection, data curation, etc. Strong-performing systems for recognition “at range” and involving multiple modalities (fusing multiple frames in video sequences and multiple modes, e.g. for biometrics including face, body, and gait) will enable use of such systems in a variety of remote monitoring contexts.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
Long-range face recognition
Gait recognition
Whole body appearance recognition
Recognition despite atmospheric turbulence
Biometric recognition from non-frontal video
Recognizing people from UAV-based video
Image and video enhancement for biometric recognition
