FDREnet: Face Detection and Recognition Pipeline

Abstract

Face detection and recognition are being studied extensively for their vast applications in security, biometrics, healthcare, and marketing. As a step towards presenting an almost accurate solution to the problem in hand, this paper proposes a face detection and face recognition pipeline - face detection and recognition embedNet (FDREnet). The proposed FDREnet involves face detection through histogram of oriented gradients and uses Siamese technique and contrastive loss to train a deep learning architecture (EmbedNet). The approach allows the EmbedNet to learn how to distinguish facial features apart from recognizing them. This flexibility in learning due to contrastive loss accounts for better accuracy than using traditional deep learning losses. The dataset’s embeddings produced from the trained FDREnet result accuracy of 98.03%, 99.57% and 99.39% for face94, face95, and face96 datasets respectively through SVM clustering. Accuracy of 97.83%, 99.57%, and 99.39% was observed for face94, face95, and face96 datasets respectively through KNN clustering.

An Effective Combination of Textures and Wavelet Features for Facial Expression Recognition

“…On the other hand, the combination of aerial and underwater cameras to monitor the postures of FER was utilized in [23], whereas the CNN model achieved 99.78% accuracy [24]. An even more successful accuracy level was achieved in learning similarities and dissimilarities among the faces of dataset using FDREnet in [25].…”

Design of a Face Recognition System based on Convolutional Neural Network (CNN)

“…Deep Learning techniques are a huge success in the field of computer vision. They have been deployed in many applications such as traffic sign detection and identification [1,2], indoor object detection and recognition [3][4][5] and many other applications [6,7]. The recognition of faces is a big challenge and an interesting research subject for different fields: psychology, model identification, computer vision, computer graphics, etc.…”

Multi-national and Multi-language License Plate Detection using Convolutional Neural Networks

“…CNN-based methods have the capacity to learn complex features with deeper architectures and utilize training algorithms to learn informative object representations without the need to design the features manually [12]. Furthermore, researchers studied extensively various CNN models such as AlexNet [10], VGG [13], GoogLeNet [14], ResNet [15], and FDREnet [16] to improve the accuracy of classification and regression problems in machine learning. Generic object detection refers to the detection of objects from predefined classes obtaining the spatial location (e.g.…”
