• Abstract: As more and more people begin to wear masks due to current COVID-19 pandemic, existing face recognition systems may encounter severe performance degradation when recognizing masked faces. To figure out the impact of masks on face recognition model, we build a simple but effective tool to generate masked faces from unmasked faces automatically, and construct a new database called Masked LFW (MLFW) based on Cross-Age LFW (CALFW) database. The mask on the masked face generated by our method has good visual consistency with the original face. Moreover, we collect various mask templates, covering most of the common styles appeared in the daily life, to achieve diverse generation effects. Considering realistic scenarios, we design three kinds of combinations of face pairs. The recognition accuracy of SOTA models declines 5%-16% on MLFW database compared with the accuracy on the original images. MLFW database can be viewed and downloaded at \url{http://whdeng.cn/mlfw}.

  We propose a generative face inpainting method to recover/reconstruct the masked part of a face. Our proposed method includes a Multi-scale Channel-Spatial Attention Module (M-CSAM) to mitigate the spatial information loss. We synthesize our own Masked-Faces dataset from the CelebA dataset by incorporating five different types of face masks.

We first present a novel mask decoupling module to disentangle mask and identity information, which makes the network obtain purer identity features from visible facial components.

  We propose a physical adversarial universal perturbation (UAP) against state-of-the-art deep learning-based facial recognition models.

  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.

  We present a 3D model-based approach called WearMask3D for augmenting face images of various poses to the masked face counterparts. Our method proceeds by first fitting a 3D morphable model on the input image, second overlaying the mask surface onto the face model and warping the respective mask texture, and last projecting the 3D mask back to 2D. Experimental results demonstrate WearMask3D produces more realistic masked images, and utilizing these images for training leads to improved recognition accuracy of masked faces.

  The wearing of the face masks appears as a solution for limiting the spread of COVID-19. To perform this task, a large dataset of masked faces is necessary for training deep learning models towards detecting people wearing masks and those not wearing masks. Some large datasets of masked faces are available in the literature. However, at the moment, there are no available large dataset of masked face images that permits to check if detected masked faces are correctly worn or not.
