Face recognition has been one of the most relevant and explored fields of Biometrics. In real-world applications, face recognition methods usually must deal with scenarios where not all probe individuals were seen during the training phase (open-set scenarios). Therefore, open-set face recognition is a subject of increasing interest as it deals with identifying individuals in a space where not all faces are known in advance. This is useful in several applications, such as access authentication, on which only a few individuals that have been previously enrolled in a gallery are allowed. The present work introduces a novel approach towards open-set face recognition focusing on small galleries and in enrollment detection, not identity retrieval. A Siamese Network architecture is proposed to learn a model to detect if a face probe is enrolled in the gallery based on a verification-like approach. Promising results were achieved for small galleries on experiments carried out on Pubfig83, FRGCv1 and LFW datasets. State-of-the-art methods like HFCN and HPLS were outperformed on FRGCv1. Besides, a new evaluation protocol is introduced for experiments in small galleries on LFW.

Recently, face recognition in the wild has achieved remarkable success and one key engine is the increasing size of training data. For example, the largest face dataset, WebFace42M contains about 2 million identities and 42 million faces. However, a massive number of faces raise the constraints in training time, computing resources, and memory cost. The current research on this problem mainly focuses on designing an efficient Fully-connected layer (FC) to reduce GPU memory consumption caused by a large number of identities. In this work, we relax these constraints by resolving the redundancy problem of the up-to-date face datasets caused by the greedily collecting operation (i.e. the core-set selection perspective). As the first attempt in this perspective on the face recognition problem, we find that existing methods are limited in both performance and efficiency. For superior cost-efficiency, we contribute a novel filtering strategy dubbed Face-NMS. Face-NMS works on feature space and simultaneously considers the local and global sparsity in generating core sets. In practice, Face-NMS is analogous to Non-Maximum Suppression (NMS) in the object detection community. It ranks the faces by their potential contribution to the overall sparsity and filters out the superfluous face in the pairs with high similarity for local sparsity. With respect to the efficiency aspect, Face-NMS accelerates the whole pipeline by applying a smaller but sufficient proxy dataset in training the proxy model. As a result, with Face-NMS, we successfully scale down the WebFace42M dataset to 60% while retaining its performance on the main benchmarks, offering a 40% resource-saving and 1.64 times acceleration. The code is publicly available for reference at https://github.com/HuangJunJie2017/Face-NMS.
Open set recognition (OSR), aiming to simultaneously classify the seen classes and identify the unseen classes as unknown, is essential for reliable machine learning.The key challenge of OSR is how to reduce the empirical classification risk on the l abeled known data and the open space risk on the potential unknown data simultaneously. To handle the challenge, we formulate the open space risk problem from the perspective of multi-class integration, and model the unexploited extra-class space with a novel concept Reciprocal Point. Follow this, a novel learning framework, termed Adversarial Reciprocal Point Learning (ARPL), is proposed to minimize the overlap of known distribution and unknown distributions without loss of known classification accuracy. Specifically, each reciprocal point is learned by the extra-class space with the corresponding known category, and the confrontation among multiple known categories are employed to reduce the empirical classification risk. Then, an adversarial margin constraint is proposed to reduce the open space risk by limiting the latent open space constructed by reciprocal points. To further estimate the unknown distribution from open space, an instantiated adversarial enhancement method is designed to generate diverse and confusing training samples, based on the adversarial mechanism between the reciprocal points and known classes. This can effectively enhance the model distinguishability to the unknown classes. Extensive experimental results on various benchmark datasets indicate that the proposed method is significantly superior to other existing approaches and achieves state-of-the-art performance.
Open set recognition is designed to identify known classes and to reject unknown classes simultaneously. Specifically, identifying known classes and rejecting unknown classes correspond to reducing the empirical risk and the open space risk, respecti vely. First, the motorial prototype framework (MPF) is proposed, which classifies known classes according to the prototype classification idea. Moreover, a motorial margin constraint term is added into the loss function of the MPF, which can further improve the clustering compactness of known classes in the feature space to reduce both risks. Second, this paper proposes the adversarial motorial prototype framework (AMPF) based on the MPF. On the one hand, this model can generate adversarial samples and add these samples into the training phase; on the other hand, it can further improve the differential mapping ability of the model to known and unknown classes with the adversarial motion of the margin constraint radius. Finally, this paper proposes an upgraded version of the AMPF, AMPF++, which adds much more generated unknown samples into the training phase. In this paper, a large number of experiments prove that the performance of the proposed models is superior to that of other current works.
In this work, we aim to address the challenging task of open set recognition (OSR). Many recent OSR methods rely on auto-encoders to extract class-specific features by a reconstruction strategy, requiring the network to restore the input image on pix el-level. This strategy is commonly over-demanding for OSR since class-specific features are generally contained in target objects, not in all pixels. To address this shortcoming, here we discard the pixel-level reconstruction strategy and pay more attention to improving the effectiveness of class-specific feature extraction. We propose a mutual information-based method with a streamlined architecture, Maximal Mutual Information Open Set Recognition (M2IOSR). The proposed M2IOSR only uses an encoder to extract class-specific features by maximizing the mutual information between the given input and its latent features across multiple scales. Meanwhile, to further reduce the open space risk, latent features are constrained to class conditional Gaussian distributions by a KL-divergence loss function. In this way, a strong function is learned to prevent the network from mapping different observations to similar latent features and help the network extract class-specific features with desired statistical characteristics. The proposed method significantly improves the performance of baselines and achieves new state-of-the-art results on several benchmarks consistently.
In this paper, we present a set of extremely efficient and high throughput models for accurate face verification, MixFaceNets which are inspired by Mixed Depthwise Convolutional Kernels. Extensive experiment evaluations on Label Face in the Wild (LFW ), Age-DB, MegaFace, and IARPA Janus Benchmarks IJB-B and IJB-C datasets have shown the effectiveness of our MixFaceNets for applications requiring extremely low computational complexity. Under the same level of computation complexity (< 500M FLOPs), our MixFaceNets outperform MobileFaceNets on all the evaluated datasets, achieving 99.60% accuracy on LFW, 97.05% accuracy on AgeDB-30, 93.60 TAR (at FAR1e-6) on MegaFace, 90.94 TAR (at FAR1e-4) on IJB-B and 93.08 TAR (at FAR1e-4) on IJB-C. With computational complexity between 500M and 1G FLOPs, our MixFaceNets achieved results comparable to the top-ranked models, while using significantly fewer FLOPs and less computation overhead, which proves the practical value of our proposed MixFaceNets. All training codes, pre-trained models, and training logs have been made available https://github.com/fdbtrs/mixfacenets.
