Partial Face Detection for Continuous Authentication

Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition 2017-04-10 v1

Abstract

In this paper, a part-based technique for real time detection of users' faces on mobile devices is proposed. This method is specifically designed for detecting partially cropped and occluded faces captured using a smartphone's front-facing camera for continuous authentication. The key idea is to detect facial segments in the frame and cluster the results to obtain the region which is most likely to contain a face. Extensive experimentation on a mobile dataset of 50 users shows that our method performs better than many state-of-the-art face detection methods in terms of accuracy and processing speed.
