Fine-grained face verification: Dataset and baseline results

Abstract

This paper investigates the problem of fine-grained face verification under unconstrained conditions. For the conventional face verification task, the verification model is trained with some positive and negative face pairs, where each positive sample pair contains two face images of the same person while each negative sample pair usually consists of two face images from different subjects. However, in many real applications, facial appearance of the twins looks very similar even if they are considered as a negative pair in face verification. Therefore, it is important to differentiate a given face pair to determine whether it is from the same person or a twins for a practical face verification system because most existing face verification systems fails to work well in such a scenario. In this work, we define the problem as fine-grained face verification and collect an unconstrained face dataset which contains 455 pairs of identical twins to generate negative face pairs to evaluate several baseline verification models for fine-grained unconstrained face verification. Benchmark results on the unsupervised setting and restricted setting show the challenge of the finegrained face verification in the wild.978-1-4799-7824-3/15/$31.00 ©2015 IEEE

Arabic Speech Recognition Based on Knn, J48, and LVQ

“…In this paper, many features have been discovered in frequency and spatial domains by utilizing the MFCC and VQ, and (mean, standard division, Coefficients (MFCCs) are a popular approach for feature extraction which is utilized in speech identification on the basis of frequency domain utilizing the Mel scale that is on the basis of zero crossing, amplitude). Mel Frequency scale of the human ear [5]. Here, the speech signal is initially split to time frames that Cepstral consist of a random number of samples.…”

“…Clearly, identical speakers present a difficult task to the technology biometrics that depends on the measuring and distinguishing essential physical properties such as fingerprint, face, iris, voice, of individuals in order to conduct the process of human recognition. This issue served as an important stimulus for performing many multi-disciplinary research efforts, which concentrated considerably on the measurement the similarity extent of biometric characteristics in speakers that is mentioned earlier [1]- [5]. The aim of the research efforts is to identify the influence of identical speakers.…”
