This paper focuses on designing data-driven models to learn a discriminant representation space for face recognition using RGB-D data. Unlike hand-crafted representations, learned models can extract and organize the discriminant information from the data, and can automatically adapt to build new compute vision applications faster. We proposed an effective way to train Convolutional Neural Networks to learn face patch discriminant features. The proposed solution was tested and validated on state-of-the-art RGB-D datasets and showed competitive and promising results relatively to standard hand-crafted feature extractors.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
