Shallow and Deep Representations for Video-based Face Recognition
Abstract
Although deep learning approaches have achieved performance surpassing humans for still image-based face recognition, unconstrained video-based face recognition is still a challenging task due to large volume of data to be processed and intra/inter-video variations on pose, illumination, occlusion, scene, blur, video quality, etc. In this talk, I will briefly review traditional tracking and recognition approaches for video-based face recognition using Gabor jets, appearance, albedo, and dictionaries. While elegant, these methods did not scale to large galleries and also did not perform well on multiple-shot videos and surveillance videos with low-quality frames. Since 2014, we have been developing deep representations for still and video-based face recognition. We will present robust and efficient systems for unconstrained video-based face recognition, which are composed of modules for face and fiducial detection, face association, and face recognition. First, we discuss multi-scale single-shot face detectors to efficiently localize faces in videos. The detected faces are then grouped through carefully designed face association methods, especially for multi-shot videos. Finally, the faces are recognized using deep features as well as an unsupervised subspace learning approach. Results on video datasets, such as Multiple Biometric Grand Challenge (MBGC), Face and Ocular Challenge Series (FOCS), IARPA Janus Surveillance Video Benchmarks IJB-S and IJB-B are presented.
