RESUMEN
Face recognition operating in visible domains exists in many aspects of our lives, while the remaining parts of the spectrum including near and thermal infrared are not sufficiently explored. Thermal-visible face recognition is a promising biometric modality that combines affordable technology and high imaging qualities in the visible domain with low-light capabilities of thermal infrared. In this work, we present the results of our study in the field of thermal-visible face verification using four different algorithm architectures tested using several publicly available databases. The study covers Siamese, Triplet, and Verification Through Identification methods in various configurations. As a result, we propose a triple triplet face verification method that combines three CNNs being used in each of the triplet branches. The triple triplet method outperforms other reference methods and achieves TAR @FAR 1% values up to 90.61%.
