Improvement of Identity Recognition with Occlusion Detection-Based Feature Selection

Abstract

Image-based facial identity recognition has become a technology that is now used in many applications. This is because it is possible to use only a camera without the need for any other device. Besides, due to the advantage of contactless technology, it is one of the most popular certifications. However, a common recognition system is not possible if some of the face information is lost due to the user’s posture or the wearing of masks, as caused by the recent prevalent disease. In some platforms, although performance is improved through incremental updates, it is still inconvenient and inaccurate. In this paper, we propose a method to respond more actively to these situations. First, we determine whether an obscurity occurs and improve the stability by calculating the feature vector using only a significant area when the obscurity occurs. By recycling the existing recognition model, without incurring little additional costs, the results of reducing the recognition performance drop in certain situations were confirmed. Using this technique, we confirmed a performance improvement of about 1~3% in a situation where some information is lost. Although the performance is not dramatically improved, it has the big advantage that it can improve recognition performance by utilizing existing systems.

Research on Sports Dance Movement Detection Based on Pose Recognition

“…rough human posture recognition, people can realize the posture communication with the computer. In recent years, gesture recognition has been popularized and applied in many industries [7]. In today's highly developed modern competitive sports, computer technology has been paid much attention by sports workers.…”

Dynamic Feature Subset Selection for Occluded Face Recognition

“…However, in most real-life applications, face recognition accuracy may degrade by inevitable causes, such as occlusion, facial expressions, poses, and illumination [4,6]. Face occlusion is a common challenging problem studied extensively in recent years [4,[7][8][9][10][11][12]. Nowadays, the situation of the global coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic obligates billions of people worldwide to wear face masks legally or even compulsory.…”
