Abstract
To test face recognition algorithm developed by researchers, it is needed to have proper database. This paper describes an Indian face database ‘KKWETC’ of visual and thermal static images of human faces. Images were taken in uncontrolled indoor environment. Database contains 816 static visible images of 68 subjects and 150 thermal images of 50 subjects. A baseline Principal Component Analysis (PCA) face recognition algorithm was tested on both databases. Researchers can use these databases to test algorithm and compare results. Database is available to research community through the procedure described at http://engg.kkwagh.edu.in/media/post_image/database_info_website.pdf.
