• Abstract summary: Face verification technologies can provide reliable and robust user authentication, given the availability of cameras in mobile devices. Deep Convolutional Neural Networks have resulted in many accurate face verification architectures, but their typical size (hundreds of megabytes) makes them infeasible to be incorporated in downloadable mobile applications. We develop a lightweight face recognition network of just a few megabytes that can operate with sufficient accuracy in comparison to much larger models.

• Abstract: Virtual applications through mobile platforms are one of the most critical and ever-growing fields in AI, where ubiquitous and real-time person authentication has become critical after the breakthrough of all services provided via mobile devices. In this context, face verification technologies can provide reliable and robust user authentication, given the availability of cameras in these devices, as well as their widespread use in everyday applications. The rapid development of deep Convolutional Neural Networks has resulted in many accurate face verification architectures. However, their typical size (hundreds of megabytes) makes them infeasible to be incorporated in downloadable mobile applications where the entire file typically may not exceed 100 Mb. Accordingly, we address the challenge of developing a lightweight face recognition network of just a few megabytes that can operate with sufficient accuracy in comparison to much larger models. The network also should be able to operate under different poses, given the variability naturally observed in uncontrolled environments where mobile devices are typically used. In this paper, we adapt the lightweight SqueezeNet model, of just 4.4MB, to effectively provide cross-pose face recognition. After trained on the MS-Celeb-1M and VGGFace2 databases, our model achieves an EER of 1.23% on the difficult frontal vs. profile comparison, and0.54% on profile vs. profile images. Under less extreme variations involving frontal images in any of the enrolment/query images pair, EER is pushed down to<0.3%, and the FRR at FAR=0.1%to less than 1%. This makes our light model suitable for face recognition where at least acquisition of the enrolment image can be controlled. At the cost of a slight degradation in performance, we also test an even lighter model (of just 2.5MB) where regular convolutions are replaced with depth-wise separable convolutions.
