Set-based person re-identification (SReID) is a matching problem that aims to verify whether two sets are of the same identity (ID). Existing SReID models typically generate a feature representation per image and aggregate them to represent…
Despite the great success of face recognition techniques, recognizing persons under unconstrained settings remains challenging. Issues like profile views, unfavorable lighting, and occlusions can cause substantial difficulties. Previous…
Recognition in low quality face datasets is challenging because facial attributes are obscured and degraded. Advances in margin-based loss functions have resulted in enhanced discriminability of faces in the embedding space. Further,…
Existing full-reference image quality assessment (FR-IQA) methods achieve high-precision evaluation by analysing feature differences between reference and distorted images. However, their performance is constrained by the quality of the…
Various factors such as ambient lighting conditions, noise, motion blur, etc. affect the quality of captured face images. Poor quality face images often reduce the performance of face analysis and recognition systems. Hence, it is important…
Existing face restoration models have relied on general assessment metrics that do not consider the characteristics of facial regions. Recent works have therefore assessed their methods using human studies, which is not scalable and…
A fundamental difficulty in all-in-one blind image restoration is that degradation is usually treated as an implicit factor hidden in degraded-to-clean mapping, rather than as an explicit object that can be measured and manipulated. This…
No-reference image quality assessment (NR-IQA) is a fundamental yet challenging task in low-level computer vision community. The difficulty is particularly pronounced for the limited information, for which the corresponding reference for…
Person re-identification (Re-ID) aims to match identities across non-overlapping camera views. Researchers have proposed many supervised Re-ID models which require quantities of cross-view pairwise labelled data. This limits their…
A facial morph is an image created by combining two (or more) face images pertaining to two (or more) distinct identities. Reference-free face demorphing inverts the process and tries to recover the face images constituting a facial morph…
The discriminability of feature representation is the key to open-set face recognition. Previous methods rely on the learnable weights of the classification layer that represent the identities. However, the evaluation process learns no…
Medical images often incorporate doctor-added markers that can hinder AI-based diagnosis. This issue highlights the need of inpainting techniques to restore the corrupted visual contents. However, existing methods require manual mask…
Existing medical image restoration (Med-IR) methods are typically modality-specific or degradation-specific, failing to generalize across the heterogeneous degradations encountered in clinical practice. We argue this limitation stems from…
Incomplete multi-view clustering is a hot and emerging topic. It is well known that unavoidable data incompleteness greatly weakens the effective information of multi-view data. To date, existing incomplete multi-view clustering methods…
All-in-One Degradation-Aware Fusion Models (ADFMs) as one of multi-modal image fusion models, which aims to address complex scenes by mitigating degradations from source images and generating high-quality fused images. Mainstream ADFMs rely…
Reconstructing high-fidelity 3D facial texture from a single image is a quite challenging task due to the lack of complete face information and the domain gap between the 3D face and 2D image. Further, obtaining re-renderable 3D faces has…
Face swapping combines one face's identity with another face's non-appearance attributes (expression, head pose, lighting) to generate a synthetic face. This technology is rapidly improving, but falls flat when reconstructing some…
Image recognition is a classic and common task in the computer vision field, which has been widely applied in the past decade. Most existing methods in literature aim to learn discriminative features from labeled images for classification,…
We propose a general, prior-free approach for the uncalibrated non-rigid structure-from-motion problem for modelling and analysis of non-rigid objects such as human faces. The word general refers to an approach that recovers the non-rigid…
