1) Scope of the Paper
The primary objective of the paper is to introduce IARPA Janus Benchmark as a suitable tool used for face detection (by using joint method) and face recognition tasks. At the same time, the analyzed paper intends offering a viable alternative for what is commonly grouped under the concept of “unconstrained face recognition imagery”.

2) Motivations of the Paper
One of the main motivations of the paper was to improve the face recognition performed in commercial manner (based on template matching only).
Another motivation is represented by the practical aspect of image capturing (for target faces that must be recognized). It is a rare situation when the images can be made in ideal conditions (illumination, sensor, compression)....
