"Face recognition (FR) is one of the most convenient biometric systems even though it is not currently the most reliable one. Especially when images for (FR) system are captured by surveillance cameras, such cameras often produce low quality images which make recognition more difficult and less reliable. This study uses a recently published database called 'SCface database' which emphasizes the challenges of face recognition in uncontrolled indoor conditions such as lighting conditions, face pose, facial expression and distance to camera. More specifically, the recognition is done using different cameras of different resolutions and imaging sensors. The aim of this study is to examine the effect of camera quality and distance from the camera with regards to face recognition rates by analyzing different face recognition schemes such as Eigenfaces, Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT), Wavelet Transform, Gray Level Concurrence Matrix (GLCM) and Spatial Differential Operators (SDO). Principal Component Analysis (PCA), Zonal coding and spectral regression were also investigated as various dimensionality reduction approaches"--Abstract.
