<p>Recent research has established the possibility of deducing soft-biometric attributes such as age, gender and race from an individual’s face image with high accuracy. Many techniques have been proposed to ensure user privacy, such as visible distortions to the images, manipulation of the original image with new face attributes, face swapping etc. Though these techniques achieve the goal of user privacy by fooling face recognition models, they don’t help the user when they want to upload original images without visible distortions or manipulation. The objective of this work is to implement techniques to ensure the privacy of user’s sensitive or personal data in face images by creating minimum pixel level distortions using white-box and black-box perturbation algorithms to fool AI models while maintaining the integrity of the image, so as to appear the same to a human eye.</p><div><br></div>

Low-resolution face recognition with one-shot is a prevalent problem encountered in law enforcement, where it generally requires to recognize the low-resolution face images captured by surveillance cameras with the only one high-resolution profile face image in the database. The problem is very tough because the available samples is quite few and the quality of unknown images is quite low. To effectively address this issue, this paper proposes Adapted Discriminative Coupled Mappings (AdaDCM) approach, which integrates domain adaptation and discriminative learning. To achieve good domain adaptation performance for small size dataset, a new domain adaptation technique called Bidirectional Locality Matching-based Domain Adaptation (BLM-DA) is first developed. Then the proposed AdaDCM is formulated by unifying BLM-DA and discriminative coupled mappings into a single framework. AdaDCM is extensively evaluated on FERET, LFW, and SCface databases, which includes LR face images obtained in constrained, unconstrained, and real-world environment. The promising results on these datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of AdaDCM in LR face recognition with one-shot.

For face recognition, conventional dictionary learning (DL) methods have some disadvantages. First, face images of the same person vary with facial expressions and pose, illumination and disguises, so it is hard to obtain a robust dictionary for face recognition. Second, they don’t cover important components (e.g., particularity and disturbance) completely, which limit their performance. In the paper, we propose a novel robust and discriminative DL (RDDL) model. The proposed model uses sample diversities of the same face image to learn a robust dictionary, which includes class-specific dictionary atoms and disturbance dictionary atoms. These atoms can well represent the data from different classes. Discriminative regularizations on the dictionary and the representation coefficients are used to exploit discriminative information, which improves effectively the classification capability of the dictionary. The proposed RDDL is extensively evaluated on benchmark face image databases, and it shows superior performance to many state-of-the-art dictionary learning methods for face recognition.

In the process of face recognition, face acquisition data is seriously distorted. Many face images collected are blurred or even missing. Faced with so many problems, the traditional image inpainting was based on structure, while the current popular image inpainting method is based on deep convolutional neural network and generative adversarial nets. In this paper, we propose a 3D face image inpainting method based on generative adversarial nets. We identify two parallels of the vector to locate the planer positions. Compared with the previous, the edge information of the missing image is detected, and the edge fuzzy inpainting can achieve better visual match effect. We make the face recognition performance dramatically boost.

In this paper, a matrix based feature extraction and measurement method, i.e.: multi-column principle component analysis (MCPCA) is used to directly and effectively extract features from the matrix. We analyze the advantages of MCPCA over the conventional principal component analysis (PCA) and two-dimensional PCA (2DPCA), and we have successfully applied it into face image recognition. Extensive face recognition experiments illustrate that the proposed method obtains high accuracy, and it is more robust than previous conventional face recognition methods.

In video surveillance, the captured face images are usually suffered from low-resolution (LR), besides, not all the probe images have mates in the gallery under the premise that only a single frontal high-resolution (HR) face image per subject. To address this problem, a novel face recognition framework called recursive label propagation based on statistical classification (ReLPBSC) has been proposed in this paper. Firstly, we employ VGG to extract robust discriminative feature vectors to represent each face. Then we select the corresponding LR face in the probe for each HR gallery face by similarity. Based on the picked HR–LR pairs, ReLPBSC is implemented for recognition. The main contributions of the proposed approach are as follows: (i) Inspired by substantial achievements of deep learning methods, VGG is adopted to achieve discriminative representation for LR faces to avoid the super-resolution steps; (ii) the accepted and rejected threshold parameters, which are not fixed in face recognition, can be achieved with ReLPBSC adaptively; (iii) the unreliable subjects never enrolled in the gallery can be rejected automatically with designed methods. Experimental results in [Formula: see text] pixels resolution show that the proposed method can achieve 86.64% recall rate while keeping 100% precision.

In real-world applications, the image of faces varies with illumination, facial expression, and poses. It seems that more training samples are able to reveal possible images of the faces. Though minimum squared error classification (MSEC) is a widely used method, its applications on face recognition usually suffer from the problem of a limited number of training samples. In this paper, we improve MSEC by using the mirror faces as virtual training samples. We obtained the mirror faces generated from original training samples and put these two kinds of samples into a new set. The face recognition experiments show that our method does obtain high accuracy performance in classification.

In the contactless delivery scenario, the self-pickup cabinet is an important terminal delivery device, and face recognition is one of the efficient ways to achieve contactless access express delivery. In order to effectively recognize face images under unrestricted environments, an unrestricted face recognition algorithm based on transfer learning is proposed in this study. First, the region extraction network of the faster RCNN algorithm is improved to improve the recognition speed of the algorithm. Then, the first transfer learning is applied between the large ImageNet dataset and the face image dataset under restricted conditions. The second transfer learning is applied between face image under restricted conditions and unrestricted face image datasets. Finally, the unrestricted face image is processed by the image enhancement algorithm to increase its similarity with the restricted face image, so that the second transfer learning can be carried out effectively. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm has better recognition rate and recognition speed on the CASIA-WebFace dataset, FLW dataset, and MegaFace dataset.

In order to solve the problem of low recognition accuracy in recognition of 3D face images collected by traditional sensors, a face recognition algorithm for 3D point cloud collected by mixed image sensors is proposed. The algorithm first uses the 3D wheelbase to expand the face image edge. According to the 3D wheelbase, the noise of extended image is detected, and median filtering is used to eliminate the detected noise. Secondly, the priority of the boundary pixels to recognize the face image in the denoising image recognition process is determined, and the key parts such as the illuminance line are analyzed, so that the recognition of the 3D point cloud face image is completed. Experiments show that the proposed algorithm improves the recognition accuracy of 3D face images, which recognition time is lower than that of the traditional algorithm by about 4 times, and the recognition efficiency is high.

The two-dimensional principal component analysis (2D-PCA) method has been widely applied in fields of image classification, computer vision, signal processing and pattern recognition. The 2D-PCA algorithm also has a satisfactory performance in both theoretical research and real-world applications. It not only retains main information of the original face images, but also decreases the dimension of original face images. In this paper, we integrate the 2D-PCA and spare representation classification (SRC) method to distinguish face images, which has great performance in face recognition. The novel representation of original face image obtained using 2D-PCA is complementary with original face image, so that the fusion of them can obviously improve the accuracy of face recognition. This is also attributed to the fact the features obtained using 2D-PCA are usually more robust than original face image matrices. The experiments of face recognition demonstrate that the combination of original face images and new representations of the original face images is more effective than the only original images. Especially, the simultaneous use of the 2D-PCA method and sparse representation can extremely improve accuracy in image classification. In this paper, the adaptive weighted fusion scheme automatically obtains optimal weights and it has no any parameter. The proposed method is not only simple and easy to achieve, but also obtains high accuracy in face recognition.
