• Abstract: Recently, we have seen an increase in the global facial recognition market size. Despite significant advances in face recognition technology with the adoption of convolutional neural networks, there are still open challenges, as when there is makeup in the face. To address this challenge, we propose and evaluate the adoption of facial parts to fuse with current holistic representations. We propose two strategies of facial parts: one with four regions (left periocular, right periocular, nose and mouth) and another with three facial thirds (upper, middle and lower). Experimental results obtained in four public makeup face datasets and in a challenging cross-dataset protocol show that the fusion of deep features extracted of facial parts with holistic representation increases the accuracy of face verification systems and decreases the error rates, even without any retraining of the CNN models. Our proposed pipeline achieved state-of-the-art performance for the YMU dataset and competitive results for other three datasets (EMFD, FAM and M501).

  We propose a novel paradigm based on the self-attention mechanism (i.e., the core of Transformer) to fully explore the representation capacity of the facial structure feature. Specifically, we design a Transformer-CNN aggregation network (TANet) consisting of two paths, in which one path uses CNNs responsible for restoring fine-grained facial details. By aggregating the features from the above two paths, the consistency of global facial structure and fidelity of local facial detail restoration are strengthened simultaneously.

  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.
