Facial recognition has a significant application for security, especially in surveillance technologies. In surveillance systems, recognizing faces captured far away from the camera under various lighting conditions, such as in the daytime and nighttime, is a challenging task. A system capable of recognizing face images in both daytime and nighttime and at various distances is called Cross-Spectral Cross Distance (CSCD) face recognition. In this paper, we proposed a phase-based CSCD face recognition approach. We employed Homomorphic filtering as photometric normalization and Band Limited Phase Only Correlation (BLPOC) for image matching. Different from the state-of-the-art methods, we directly utilized the phase component from an image, without the need for a feature extraction process. The experiment was conducted using the Long-Distance Heterogeneous Face Database (LDHF-DB). The proposed method was evaluated in three scenarios: (i) cross-spectral face verification at 1m, (ii) cross-spectral face verification at 60m, and (iii) cross-spectral face verification where the probe images (near-infrared (NIR) face images) were captured at 1m and the gallery data (face images) was captured at 60m. The proposed CSCD method resulted in the best recognition performance among the CSCD baseline approaches, with an Equal Error Rate (EER) of 5.34% and a Genuine Acceptance Rate (GAR) of 93%. © 2021 by the authors.
