Face Recognition Accuracy Across Demographics: Shining a Light Into the Problem. (arXiv:2206.01881v1 [cs.CV])

This is the first work that we are aware of to explore how the level of
brightness of the skin region in a pair of face images impacts face recognition
accuracy. Image pairs with both images having mean face skin brightness in an
upper-middle range of brightness are found to have the highest matching
accuracy across demographics and matchers. Image pairs with both images having
mean face skin brightness that is too dark or too light are found to have …
