• Abstract summary: We first explore and highlight the effects of different alignment templates on face recognition. Then, for the first time, we try to search for the optimal template automatically. We construct a well-defined searching space by decomposing the template searching into the crop size and vertical shift. Experiments on our proposed benchmark validate the effectiveness of our method to improve face recognition performance.

• Abstract: A standard pipeline of current face recognition frameworks consists of four individual steps: locating a face with a rough bounding box and several fiducial landmarks, aligning the face image using a pre-defined template, extracting representations and comparing. Among them, face detection, landmark detection and representation learning have long been studied and a lot of works have been proposed. As an essential step with a significant impact on recognition performance, the alignment step has attracted little attention. In this paper, we first explore and highlight the effects of different alignment templates on face recognition. Then, for the first time, we try to search for the optimal template automatically. We construct a well-defined searching space by decomposing the template searching into the crop size and vertical shift, and propose an efficient method Face Alignment Policy Search (FAPS). Besides, a well-designed benchmark is proposed to evaluate the searched policy. Experiments on our proposed benchmark validate the effectiveness of our method to improve face recognition performance.

  A practical approach on edge devices should prioritize these detection of identities according to their conformity to recognition. We propose a face quality score regression by just appending a single layer to a face landmark detection network. With almost no additional cost, face quality scores are obtained by training this single layer to regress recognition scores with surveillance like augmentations.

  Most of the current techniques for face recognition require the presence of a full face of the person to be recognized. In this work, we adopted the process of stitching the face by completing the missing part with the flipping of the part shown in the picture. The selected face recognition algorithms that are applied here are Eigenfaces and geometrical methods.
