Hyperspectral imaging opens up new opportunities for masked face recognition via discrimination of the spectral information that are obtained by hyperspectral sensors. In this work, we present a novel algorithm to extract facial spectral-features from different regions of interests by performing computer vision techniques over the hyperspectral images, particularly Histogram of Oriented Gradients. We have applied this algorithm over the UWA-HSFD dataset to extract the facial spectral-features and then a set of parallel Support Vector Machines with custom kernels, based on the cosine similarity and euclidean distance, have been trained on fly to classify unknown subjects/faces according to the distance of the visible facial spectral-features, i.e. the region that are not behind a face mask or a scarf. The results draw up an optimal trade-off between recognition accuracy and compression ratio in accordance with the facial regions that are not occluded.
