INTERNATIONAL FACE PERFORMANCE

CONFERENCE

Supporting Performance of Face Recognition

October 27-29, 2020

PROGRAM

In cooperation with the European Association of Biometrics and the National Physical Laboratory (UK)

NIST, NPL and the EAB are happy to announce the agenda for the IFPC 2020 conference on

performance of face recognition which is focused on all technical factors affecting the deployment and

use of high performance face recognition applications, including applications, standards, advanced and

rapid capture, quality assessment, age and ageing effects, demographic effects, datasets, their

preparation, training and tuning, presentation attack detection, non-cooperative uses, accuracy

measurement, and performance tests.

Sponsored by the Department of Homeland Security’s Science and Technology Directorate, the

conference aims to assemble a set of speakers from across the globe involved in face recognition

development, procurement, deployment and operations. The overarching goal is to bring greater

maturity to face recognition by improving performance, transparency, and trustworthiness. The

organizers welcome proposals for technical or policy presentations focused on any technical factors,

problems, and mitigations that influence face recognition operations and applications.

Organizers:

Patrick Grother, Mei Ngan, NIST, US

Christoph Busch, EAB, DE

Tony Mansfield, NPL, UK

Speakers:

Research and development staff, system analysts, users,

evaluators, planners, writers of technical specifications,

standards developers and adopters.

Target audience:

Professionals concerned with face recognition procurement,

deployment, maintenance, design, configuration, integration,

standardization, research and development.
