Abstract
Facial classification has numerous real-world applications in various fields such as security and surveillance. However, images collected at long range through the atmosphere exhibit spatially and temporally varying blur and geometric distortion due to turbulence; consequently, making facial identification challenging. A multispectral facial classification approach is proposed utilizing machine learning for long-range imaging. A method for simulating turbulence effects is applied to a multispectral face image database to generate turbulence-degraded images. The performance of the machine learning method for this classification task is assessed to explore the effectiveness of multispectral imaging for improving classification accuracy over long ranges.
