Recognizing distant faces

Lukas Vogelsang

As an 'early alerting' sense, one of the primary tasks for the human visual system is to recognize distant objects. In the specific context of facial identification, this ecologically important task has received surprisingly little attention. Most studies ...

Hand and face somatotopy shown using MRI-safe vibrotactile stimulation with a novel soft pneumatic actuator (SPA)-skin interface

Jamie Paik, Harshal Arun Sonar

The exact somatotopy of the human facial representation in the primary somatosensory cortex (S1) remains de-bated. One reason that progress has been hampered is due to the methodological challenge of how to apply automated vibrotactile stimuli to face area ...

State of the Art in Dense Monocular Non-Rigid 3D Reconstruction

Pascal Fua

3D reconstruction of deformable (or non-rigid) scenes from a set of monocular 2D image observations is a long-standing and actively researched area of computer vision and graphics. It is an ill-posed inverse problem, since-without additional prior assumpti ...

Discriminative Deep Feature Visualization for Explainable Face Recognition

Touradj Ebrahimi, Yuhang Lu

Despite the huge success of deep convolutional neural networks in face recognition (FR) tasks, current methods lack explainability for their predictions because of their ``black-box'' nature. In recent years, studies have been carried out to give an interp ...

Model-based 3D Face Reconstruction

Christophe René Joseph Ecabert

The human face plays an essential role in social interactions as it brings information about someone's identity, state of mind, or mood. People are, by nature, very good at catching this non-spoken information. Therefore, scientists have been interested in ...

On the Recognition Performance of BioHashing on state-of-the-art Face Recognition models

Sébastien Marcel, Hatef Otroshi Shahreza

Face recognition has become a popular authentication tool in recent years. Modern state-of-the-art (SOTA) face recognition methods rely on deep neural networks, which extract discriminative features from face images. Although these methods have high recogn ...

Trustworthy Face Recognition: Improving Generalization of Deep Face Presentation Attack Detection

Amir Mohammadi

The extremely high recognition accuracy achieved by modern, convolutional neural network (CNN) based face recognition (FR) systems has contributed significantly to the adoption of such systems in a variety of applications, from mundane activities like unlo ...

Learning How to Smile: Expression Video Generation With Conditional Adversarial Recurrent Nets

Wei Wang

While several research studies have focused on analyzing human behavior and, in particular, emotional signals from visual data, the problem of synthesizing face video sequences with specific attributes (e.g. age, facial expressions) received much less atte ...

Learning How To Recognize Faces In Heterogeneous Environments

Tiago De Freitas Pereira

Face recognition is a mature field in biometrics in which several systems have been proposed over the last three decades. Such systems are extremely reliable under controlled recording conditions and it has been deployed in the field in critical tasks, suc ...

Attribute-Guided Sketch Generation

Yan Yan, Wei Wang

Facial attributes are important since they provide a detailed description and determine the visual appearance of human faces. In this paper, we aim at converting a face image to a sketch while simultaneously generating facial attributes. To this end, we pr ...

Learn to synthesize and synthesize to learn

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Seyedbehzad Bozorgtabar, Hazim Kemal Ekenel, Mohammad Saeed Rad

Attribute guided face image synthesis aims to manipulate attributes on a face image. Most existing methods for image-to-image translation can either perform a fixed translation between any two image domains using a single attribute or require training data ...

Detection of Age-Induced Makeup Attacks on Face Recognition Systems Using Multi-Layer Deep Features

Sébastien Marcel, Zohreh Mostaani

Makeup is a simple and easy instrument that can alter the appearance of a person’s face, and hence, create a presentation attack on face recognition (FR) systems. These attacks, especially the ones mimicking ageing, are difficult to detect due to their clo ...

Biometric Face Presentation Attack Detection with Multi-Channel Convolutional Neural Network

Sébastien Marcel, André Anjos, Zohreh Mostaani

Face recognition is a mainstream biometric authentication method. However, vulnerability to presentation attacks (a.k.a spoofing) limits its usability in unsupervised applications. Even though there are many methods available for tackling presentation atta ...

Theoretical foundations of forward feature selection methods based on mutual information

Francisco Santos Paredes Quartin de Macedo

Feature selection problems arise in a variety of applications, such as microarray analysis, clinical prediction, text categorization, image classification and face recognition, multi-label learning, and classification of internet traffic. Among the various ...

Multispectral Deep Embeddings As a Countermeasure To Custom Silicone Mask Presentation Attacks

Sébastien Marcel

This work focuses on detecting presentation attacks (PA) mounted using custom silicone masks. Face recognition (FR) systems have been shown to be highly vulnerable to PAs based on such masks [1, 2]. Here we explore the use of multispectral data (color imag ...

What Face and Body Shapes Can Tell Us About Height

Pascal Fua, Helge Jochen Rhodin, Semih Günel

Recovering a person's height from a single image is important for virtual garment fitting, autonomous driving and surveillance. However, it is also very challenging without absolute scale information. Here, we examine the rarely addressed case, where camer ...

Dual Generator Generative Adversarial Networks for Multi-domain Image-to-Image Translation

Yan Yan, Wei Wang

State-of-the-art methods for image-to-image translation with Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) can learn a mapping from one domain to another domain using unpaired image data. However, these methods require the training of one specific model for every ...
