Are the terms “Parameter File” and “Experiment Description File” synonymous?
The terms “Parameter File” and “Experiment Description File” are synonymous. 78. From FRGC, we know there are differences in the image properties among the Minolta Vivid 900, Minolta Vivid 910, and Qlonerator 3D scanners. In order to cope with the sensor specific effects we have the following questions: 1) Will the 3D sensor be specified prior to the start of an experiment? 2) Is it possible to have different executables for the various scanners? 3) Will experiments consist of a mixture of biometrics samples from different 3D scanners? A: One of the primary goals of the 3D evaluations in FRVT 2006 is to measure the performance of general 3D face recognition algorithms, not to measure 3D face algorithms tuned to a particular sensor. To achieve this goal, 1) the 3D sensor will not be specified prior to the start of an experiment, 2) executables for 3D matching will have to be able to process 3D face scans from different sensors, and 3) experiments will require matching across 3D sensors.
