Abstract -A video-based face recognition algorithm that computes a discriminative video signature as an ordered list of still face images from a large dictionary. A three-stage approach is proposed for optimizing ranked lists across multiple video frames and fusing them into a single composite ordered list to compute the video signature. This signature embeds diverse intra-personal variations and facilitates in matching two videos with large variations. For matching two videos, a discounted cumulative gain measure is utilized, which uses the ranking of images in the video signature as well as the usefulness of images in characterizing the individual in the video. The efficiency of the proposed algorithm is evaluated under different video-based face recognition scenarios such as matching still face images with videos and matching videos with videos.
