This code is for the BMVC 2019 paper, BIRD: Learning Binary and Illumination Robust Descriptor for Face Recognition

Prerequisites

• Matlab (the code is currently tested on 2019a, while other versions might also be compatible),
• CAS_PEAL_R1 dataset, code about how to crop and load it are in dataset/code/crop_cas_peal_r1.m and dataset/code/load_face.m respectively, then save the cropped data in dataset directory.

Run

1. run demo_init.m to add all directories and sub-directories into the matlab path;
2. run demo_cas_peal_r1.m in the face directory.
