Abstract:
Face verification is performed using video data. The two main modules are face image capturing and face verification. In face image capturing, good frontal face images are captured from input video data. A frontal face quality score discriminates between frontal and profile faces. In face verification, a local binary pattern histogram is selected as the facial feature descriptor for its high discriminative power and computational efficiency. Chi-Square (χ2) distance between LBP histograms from two face images are then calculated as a face dissimilarity measure. The decision whether or not two images belong to the same person is then made by comparing the corresponding distance with a pre-defined threshold. Given the fact that more than one face images can be captured per person from video data, several feature based and decision based aggregators are applied to combine pair-wise distances to further improve the verification performance.
