Emotion recognition and understanding is a vital component in human-machine interaction. Dimensional models of affect such as those using valence and arousal have advantages over traditional categorical ones due to the complexity of emotional states in humans. However, dimensional emotion annotations are difficult and expensive to collect, therefore they are not as prevalent in the affective computing community. To address these issues, we propose a method to generate synthetic images from existing categorical emotion datasets using face morphing as well as dimensional labels in the circumplex space with full control over the resulting sample distribution, while achieving augmentation factors of at least 20x or more.

For the task of face verification, we explore the utility of harnessing auxiliary facial emotion labels to impose explicit geometric constraints on the embedding space when training deep embedding models. We introduce several novel loss functions tha t, in conjunction with a standard Triplet Loss [43], or ArcFace loss [10], provide geometric constraints on the embedding space; the labels for our loss functions can be provided using either manually annotated or automatically detected auxiliary emotion labels. Our method is implemented purely in terms of the loss function and does not require any changes to the neural network backbone of the embedding function.
The vulnerability of Face Recognition System (FRS) to various kind of attacks (both direct and in-direct attacks) and face morphing attacks has received a great interest from the biometric community. The goal of a morphing attack is to subvert the FR S at Automatic Border Control (ABC) gates by presenting the Electronic Machine Readable Travel Document (eMRTD) or e-passport that is obtained based on the morphed face image. Since the application process for the e-passport in the majority countries requires a passport photo to be presented by the applicant, a malicious actor and the accomplice can generate the morphed face image and to obtain the e-passport. An e-passport with a morphed face images can be used by both the malicious actor and the accomplice to cross the border as the morphed face image can be verified against both of them. This can result in a significant threat as a malicious actor can cross the border without revealing the track of his/her criminal background while the details of accomplice are recorded in the log of the access control system. This survey aims to present a systematic overview of the progress made in the area of face morphing in terms of both morph generation and morph detection. In this paper, we describe and illustrate various aspects of face morphing attacks, including different techniques for generating morphed face images but also the state-of-the-art regarding Morph Attack Detection (MAD) algorithms based on a stringent taxonomy and finally the availability of public databases, which allow to benchmark new MAD algorithms in a reproducible manner. The outcomes of competitions/benchmarking, vulnerability assessments and performance evaluation metrics are also provided in a comprehensive manner. Furthermore, we discuss the open challenges and potential future works that need to be addressed in this evolving field of biometrics.
Buddha statues are a part of human culture, especially of the Asia area, and they have been alongside human civilisation for more than 2,000 years. As history goes by, due to wars, natural disasters, and other reasons, the records that show the built years of Buddha statues went missing, which makes it an immense work for historians to estimate the built years. In this paper, we pursue the idea of building a neural network model that automatically estimates the built years of Buddha statues based only on their face images. Our model uses a loss function that consists of three terms: an MSE loss that provides the basis for built year estimation; a KL divergence-based loss that handles the samples with both an exact built year and a possible range of built years (e.g., dynasty or centuries) estimated by historians; finally a regularisation that utilises both labelled and unlabelled samples based on manifold assumption. By combining those three terms in the training process, we show that our method is able to estimate built years for given images with 37.5 years of a mean absolute error on the test set.
A face morphing attack image can be verified to multiple identities, making this attack a major vulnerability to processes based on identity verification, such as border checks. Different methods have been proposed to detect face morphing attacks, ho wever, with low generalizability to unexpected post-morphing processes. A major post-morphing process is the print and scan operation performed in many countries when issuing a passport or identity document. In this work, we address this generalization problem by adapting a pixel-wise supervision approach where we train a network to classify each pixel of the image into an attack or not during the training process, rather than only having one label for the whole image. Our pixel-wise morphing attack detection (PW-MAD) solution performs more accurately than a set of established baselines. More importantly, our approach shows high generalizability in comparison to related works, when evaluated on unknown re-digitized attacks. Additionally to our PW-MAD approach, we create a new face morphing attack dataset with digital and re-digitized attacks and bona fide samples, namely the LMA-DRD dataset that will be made publicly available for research purposes.
Despite their continued popularity, categorical approaches to affect recognition have limitations, especially in real-life situations. Dimensional models of affect offer important advantages for the recognition of subtle expressions and more fine-gra ined analysis. We introduce a simple but effective facial expression analysis (FEA) system for dimensional affect, solely based on geometric features and Partial Least Squares (PLS) regression. The system jointly learns to estimate Arousal and Valence ratings from a set of facial images. The proposed approach is robust, efficient, and exhibits comparable performance to contemporary deep learning models, while requiring a fraction of the computational resources.
