Abstract: To improve the face recognition performance under different poses, we propose an improved frontal face synthesis method based on binocular stereo vision, which can effectively and quickly synthesize a frontal face. A modified matching algorithm is designed to deal with smoothness of faces. Then 3-D coordinates are generated according to the disparity image, and the pose angle of the face calculated according to the location of eyes. A frontal face is generated according to the pose angle using the method of binocular stereo vision.Experimental results show that the method is precise, practical, and fast.

Key words: binocular stereo vision, face recognition, region growing, disparity map
