NIR-to-VIS Face Recognition via Embedding Relations and Coordinates of the Pairwise Features
Authors:MyeongAh Cho, Tae-young Chun, g Taeoh Kim, Sangyoun Lee
NIR-to-VIS face recognition is identifying faces of two different domains by extracting domain-invariant features. However, this is a challenging problem due to the two different domain characteristics, and the lack of NIR face dataset. In order to reduce domain discrepancy while using the existing face recognition models, we propose a ‘Relation Module’ which can simply add-on to any face recognition models. The local features extracted from face image contain information of each component of the face. Based on two different domain characteristics, to use the relationships between local features is more domain-invariant than to use it as it is. In addition to these relationships, positional information such as distance from lips to chin or eye to eye, also provides domain-invariant information. In our Relation Module, Relation Layer implicitly captures relationships, and Coordinates Layer models the positional information. Also, our proposed Triplet loss with conditional margin reduces intra-class variation in training, and resulting in additional performance improvements. Different from the general face recognition models, our add-on module does not need to pre-train with the large scale dataset. The proposed module fine-tuned only with CASIA NIR-VIS 2.0 database. With the proposed module, we achieve 14.81% rank-1 accuracy and 15.47% verification rate of 0.1% FAR improvements compare to two baseline models.

OCFR 2022: Competition on Occluded Face Recognition From Synthetically Generated Structure-Aware Occlusions
Authors:Pedro C. Neto, Fadi Boutros, Joao Ribeiro Pinto, Naser Damer, Ana F. Sequeira, Jaime S. Cardoso, Messaoud Bengherabi, Abderaouf Bousnat, Sana Boucheta, Nesrine Hebbadj, Bahia Yahya-Zoubir, Mustafa Ekrem Erakın, Uğur Demir, Hazım Kemal Ekenel, Pedro Beber de Queiroz Vidal, David Menotti
This work summarizes the IJCB Occluded Face Recognition Competition 2022 (IJCB-OCFR-2022) embraced by the 2022 International Joint Conference on Biometrics (IJCB 2022). OCFR-2022 attracted a total of 3 participating teams, from academia. Eventually, six valid submissions were submitted and then evaluated by the organizers. The competition was held to address the challenge of face recognition in the presence of severe face occlusions. The participants were free to use any training data and the testing data was built by the organisers by synthetically occluding parts of the face images using a well-known dataset. The submitted solutions presented innovations and performed very competitively with the considered baseline. A major output of this competition is a challenging, realistic, and diverse, and publicly available occluded face recognition benchmark with well defined evaluation protocols.
