Unconstrained-Pose 2D Face Recognition by Matching Using Graphical Models
Asst. Prof. Dr. Shervin Rahimzadeh Arashloo
Tarbiat Modares University, Tehran, Iran
Face recognition in unconstrained settings will be discussed. The presentation will cover a Markov random field (MRF)-based methodology applied to the face matching problem in 2D along with several innovative approaches taken in this direction. By virtue of a dense pixel-wise MRF image matching model, the proposed approach can tolerate moderate pose, scale, rotation and some other undesired image perturbations. The proposed method can operate using only a single image per person and circumvents the need for large training sets or non-frontal training images. From a technical point of view, different aspects of the algorithm such as - deformable image matching - Shape regularisation using a statistical prior - Multi-scale relaxation - A GPU implementation - A class-specific KDA classifier - And last but not least, a technical comparison of the proposed approach to other methods will be discussed will be covered.
