"Automatic face recognition (AFR) is an area with immense practical potential\nwhich includes a wide range of commercial and law enforcement applications, and\nit continues to be one of the most active research areas of computer vision.\nEven after over three decades of intense research, the state-of-the-art in AFR\ncontinues to improve, benefiting from advances in a range of different fields\nincluding image processing, pattern recognition, computer graphics and\nphysiology. However, systems based on visible spectrum images continue to face\nchallenges in the presence of illumination, pose and expression changes, as\nwell as facial disguises, all of which can significantly decrease their\naccuracy. Amongst various approaches which have been proposed in an attempt to\novercome these limitations, the use of infrared (IR) imaging has emerged as a\nparticularly promising research direction. This paper presents a comprehensive\nand timely review of the literature on this subject."
