The recognition of occluded faces is a major challenge for face
recognition and has received attention in an early stages of face
recognition development. However, the problem has received relatively
less representation in face recognition research and relative
benchmark in comparison to issues related to cross-pose, cross-age,
and cross-quality recognition.

The Advanced Occluded Face Recognition (IJCB-OCFR) competition aims to
revive the topic of occluded face recognition and restart research
efforts in this field. The main goal is to provide a challenging
platform to explore different concepts that can be used to overcome
the occluded face challenge, giving future direction and tools for
researchers in the field. All participants who achieve competitive
results will be invited as co-authors for a summary paper of OCFR, to
be submitted to IJCB 2022.
