We present a biologically motivated manifold learning framework for image set classification inspired by Independent Component Analysis for Grassmann manifolds. A Grassmann manifold is a collection of linear subspaces, such that each subspace is mapped on a single point on the manifold. We propose constructing Grassmann subspaces using Independent Component Analysis for robustness and improved class...
“Ceci n'est pas une pipe” French for “This is not a pipe”. This is the description painted on the first painting in the figure above. But to most of us, how could this painting is not a pipe, at least not to the great Belgian surrealist artist Rene Magritte. He said that the painting is not a pipe, but rather an image of a pipe. In this paper, we present a study on large-scale classification of fine-art...
Deep methods based on Convolutional Neural Networks serve as accurate facial points and body parts detectors. However, most methods do not provide a confidence score for the quality of the localization process. In real world applications, such a score could be invaluable. We, therefore, study the problem of estimating the success of the localization process during test time. Our method is based on...
Although self quotient image (SQI) has been popularly used for face recognition as a retinex-based based illumination normalization method, it suffers from strong shadows in faces with abrupt intensity change. In this paper, we propose SQI-based illumination normalization for face recognition based on discrete wavelet transform (DWT). To remove shadow edges while preserving features, we combine DWT...
In this paper, we apply One-Class Classification methods in facial image analysis problems. We consider the cases where the available training data information originates from one class, or one of the available classes is of high importance. We propose a novel extension of the One-Class Extreme Learning Machines algorithm aiming at minimizing both the training error and the data dispersion and consider...
Detecting eyes in images is fundamental for many computer vision applications including face detection, face recognition, and human-computer interaction. Most existing methods are designed and tested on datasets acquired under controlled lab settings (e.g., fixed scale, known poses, clean background, etc.), leaving their performance to be further examined on real-world, uncontrolled images, such as...

Face identification from low quality and low resolution Near-Infrared (NIR) face images is a challenging problem. Since surveillance cameras typically acquire images at a large standoff distance, the effective resolution of the face is not large enough to identify the individuals. Moreover for a 24-hour surveillance footage, images in low light and at nighttime are acquired in NIR mode which makes...
In this paper, we present a novel Bayesian approach to recover simultaneously block sparse signals in the presence of outliers. The key advantage of our proposed method is the ability to handle non-stationary outliers, i.e. outliers which have time varying support. We validate our approach with empirical results showing the superiority of the proposed method over competing approaches in synthetic...
Facial color is known as playing an important role in face recognition. Color face recognition has been investigated in the last decade. Recently, deep learning has attracted considerable attention due to their high performance in face recognition. The importance of the color in a deep learning framework is not fully investigated yet. In this paper, we have conducted experiments to investigate the...
In this paper, we propose a novel scheme for automatic recognition of facial expressions captured from both fronto-parallel and non-fronto-parallel cameras i.e., multi-view facial expressions (MVFE). The proposed scheme introduce a Local Saliency-inspired Binary Pattern (LSiBP) feature to recognize MVFE. First view-specific approximated saliency likelihood map (ASLM) is derived during training of...
In this paper, we propose a robust probability based sparse method to solve single sample face recognition, which harvests the advantages of both local and global representation. Different from previous sparse representation methods that generate sparse coefficients by 𝑙1, we produce sparse class probability distribution by proposing a multi-phase sparse probability (MSP) framework. To create class...
How to learn view-invariant facial representations is an important task for view-invariant face recognition. The recent work [1] discovered that the brain of the macaque monkey has a face-processing network, where some neurons are view-specific. Motivated by this discovery, this paper proposes a deep convolutional learning model for face recognition, which explicitly enforces this view-specific mechanism...
Deep learning is well known as a method to extract hierarchical representations of data. In this paper a novel unsupervised deep learning based methodology, named Local Binary Pattern Network (LBPNet), is proposed to efficiently extract and compare high-level over-complete features in multilayer hierarchy. The LBPNet retains the same topology of Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) — one of the most...

In this work we present a general framework for robust error estimation in face recognition. The proposed formulation allows the simultaneous use of various loss functions for modeling the residual in face images, which usually follows non-standard distributions, depending on the image capturing conditions. Our method extends the current vast literature offering flexibility in the selection of the...
In this paper, we proposed an optimized Sparse Deep Learning Network (SDLN) model for Face Recognition (FR). A key contribution of this work is to learn feature coding of human face with a SDLN based on local structured Sparse Representation (SR). In traditional sparse FR methods, different poses and expressions of training samples could have great influence on the recognition results. We consider...
Anthropology studies show that genetic features are inherited by children from their parents resulting in visual resemblance between them. This paper presents a novel SIFT flow based genetic Fisher vector feature (SF-GFVF) which enhances the facial genetic features for kinship verification. The proposed SF-GFVF feature is derived by applying a novel similarity enhancement method based on SIFT flow...
Face recognition under uncontrolled environment persists to be an unresolved problem having challenges such as varying pose, illumination, occlusion etc. In this research, we propose an algorithm for identification of faces with pose and illumination variations. An adaptive dictionary learning framework built upon group sparse representation classifier is presented in order to learn dictionary parameters...
We address the problem of makeup face recognition. Our main idea is to incorporate different levels of features into a joint optimization framework. Specifically, we combine both mid-level (e.g. attributes) and low-level features to obtain a new representation for a better matching between makeup and non-makeup faces. Previous studies have discovered the influence of cosmetics on face recognition,...
