• Abstract: We address the use of selfie ocular images captured with smartphones to estimate age and gender. Partial face occlusion has become an issue due to the mandatory use of face masks. Also, the use of mobile devices has exploded, with the pandemic further accelerating the migration to digital services. However, state-of-the-art solutions in related tasks such as identity or expression recognition employ large Convolutional Neural Networks, whose use in mobile devices is infeasible due to hardware limitations and size restrictions of downloadable applications. To counteract this, we adapt two existing lightweight CNNs proposed in the context of the ImageNet Challenge, and two additional architectures proposed for mobile face recognition. Since datasets for soft-biometrics prediction using selfie images are limited, we counteract over-fitting by using networks pre-trained on ImageNet. Furthermore, some networks are further pre-trained for face recognition, for which very large training databases are available. Since both tasks employ similar input data, we hypothesize that such strategy can be beneficial for soft-biometrics estimation. A comprehensive study of the effects of different pre-training over the employed architectures is carried out, showing that, in most cases, a better accuracy is obtained after the networks have been fine-tuned for face recognition.

  We introduce an innovative image transformation technique that renders facial images unrecognizable to the eye while maintaining their identifiability by neural network models. The proposed methodology can be used in various artificial intelligence applications to distort the visual data and keep the derived features close. We show that it is possible to build the distortion that changes the image content by more than 70% while maintaining the same recognition accuracy.

  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.
