• Title: Masked Face Recognition for Secure Authentication
• Authors: Aqeel Anwar, Arijit Raychowdhury
• Abstract summary: Masked faces make it difficult to be detected and recognized, thereby threatening to make the in-house datasets invalid. We present an open-source tool, MaskTheFace to mask faces effectively creating a large dataset of masked faces. We report an increase of 38% in the true positive rate for the Facenet system.

• Abstract: With the recent world-wide COVID-19 pandemic, using face masks have become an important part of our lives. People are encouraged to cover their faces when in public area to avoid the spread of infection. The use of these face masks has raised a serious question on the accuracy of the facial recognition system used for tracking school/office attendance and to unlock phones. Many organizations use facial recognition as a means of authentication and have already developed the necessary datasets in-house to be able to deploy such a system. Unfortunately, masked faces make it difficult to be detected and recognized, thereby threatening to make the in-house datasets invalid and making such facial recognition systems inoperable. This paper addresses a methodology to use the current facial datasets by augmenting it with tools that enable masked faces to be recognized with low false-positive rates and high overall accuracy, without requiring the user dataset to be recreated by taking new pictures for authentication. We present an open-source tool, MaskTheFace to mask faces effectively creating a large dataset of masked faces. The dataset generated with this tool is then used towards training an effective facial recognition system with target accuracy for masked faces. We report an increase of 38% in the true positive rate for the Facenet system. We also test the accuracy of re-trained system on a custom real-world dataset MFR2 and report similar accuracy.

• A realistic approach to generate masked faces applied on two novel masked face recognition data sets [14.130698536174767]
  We propose a method for enhancing data sets containing faces without masks by creating synthetic masks and overlaying them on faces in the original images. We employ our method to generate a number of 445,446 (90%) samples of masks for the CASIA-WebFace data set and 196,254 (96.8%) masks for the CelebA data set. We show that our method produces significantly more realistic training examples of masks overlaid on faces by asking volunteers to qualitatively compare it to other methods or data sets.

  State-of-the-art general face recognition models do not generalize well to occluded face images. This paper presents a novel face recognition method that is robust to occlusions based on a single end-to-end deep neural network. Our approach, named FROM (Face Recognition with Occlusion Masks), learns to discover the corrupted features from the deep convolutional neural networks, and clean them by the dynamically learned masks.

• Multi-Dataset Benchmarks for Masked Identification using Contrastive Representation Learning [0.0]
  COVID-19 pandemic has drastically changed accepted norms globally. Official documents such as passports, driving license and national identity cards are enrolled with fully uncovered face images. In an airport or security checkpoint it is safer to match the unmasked image of the identifying document to the masked person rather than asking them to remove the mask. We propose a contrastive visual representation learning based pre-training workflow which is specialized to masked vs unmasked face matching.
