Face recognition is an extensively researched area of computer vision. Visible, infrared, thermal, and 3D modalities have been used against various challenges of face recognition such as illumination, pose, expression, partial information, and disguise. In this paper we present a multi-modal approach to face recognition using convolutional neural networks. We use visible and thermal face images as two separate inputs to a multi-input deep learning network for face recognition. The experiments are performed on IRIS visible and thermal face database and high face verification rates are achieved.
