Recognizing distant faces

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, Zewei Xu

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 ...

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 ...

Attribute-Guided Sketch Generation

Yan Yan, Wei Wang, Xinya Chen

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, Hazim Kemal Ekenel, Seyedbehzad Bozorgtabar, 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 ...

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 ...
