Even though a few initial works have shown on small sets of data some level of bias in the performance of fingerprint recognition technology with respect to certain demographic groups, there is still not sufficient evidence to understand…
This paper proposes a data driven model to predict the performance of a face recognition system based on image quality features. We model the relationship between image quality features (e.g. pose, illumination, etc.) and recognition…
A Bio-metrics system is actually a pattern recognition system that utilizes various patterns like iris, retina and biological traits like fingerprint, voice recognition, facial geometry and hand geometry. What makes Bio-metrics really…
The use of multiple modalities (e.g., face and fingerprint) or multiple algorithms (e.g., three face comparators) has shown to improve the recognition accuracy of an operational biometric system. Over time a biometric system may evolve to…
In recent years, significant progress has been made in face recognition, which can be partially attributed to the availability of large-scale labeled face datasets. However, since the faces in these datasets usually contain limited degree…
Multibiometrics, which uses multiple biometric traits to improve recognition performance instead of using only one biometric trait to authenticate individuals, has been investigated. Previous studies have combined individually acquired…
Psychophysical studies suggest that face recognition takes place in a narrow band of low spatial frequencies (``critical band''). Here, we examined the recognition performance of an artificial face recognition system as a function of the…
Recently, GAN based method has demonstrated strong effectiveness in generating augmentation data for person re-identification (ReID), on account of its ability to bridge the gap between domains and enrich the data variety in feature space.…
The lack of resolution has a negative impact on the performance of image-based biometrics. While many generic super-resolution methods have been proposed to restore low-resolution images, they usually aim to enhance their visual appearance.…
Person re-identification aims at the maintenance of a global identity as a person moves among non-overlapping surveillance cameras. It is a hard task due to different illumination conditions, viewpoints and the small number of annotated…
We propose an experimental method for measuring bias in face recognition systems. Existing methods to measure bias depend on benchmark datasets that are collected in the wild and annotated for protected (e.g., race, gender) and…
Micro-expression recognition (MER) is valuable because micro-expressions (MEs) can reveal genuine emotions. Most works take image sequences as input and cannot effectively explore ME information because subtle ME-related motions are easily…
State-of-the-art deep face recognition approaches report near perfect performance on popular benchmarks, e.g., Labeled Faces in the Wild. However, their performance deteriorates significantly when they are applied on low quality images,…
