Synthetic Data for Face Recognition CS525 Vijay Iyer
Face Databases • Current databases (CMU PIE, FRGC/FRVT, FERET) • Short range • Indoors • Artificial Light • Only one known attempt at creating long range outdoor database • CMU PIE small but very controlled dataset • FERET , FRGC/FRVT large but sacrifice control • We need more databases to further face recognition
Why Synthetic? • Long term cost is cheaper(still costly so this is not a deciding factor) • More experimental control • Explore more conditions • Can also be used to validate changes in systems
4DPhotohead Framework • Custom Display Software • Allows for simple scripted animation • 3D Models • Generate models from CMU PIE • Created with AnimetricsForensica software • Custom Display Hardware • High power projector (3000 lumens) • Cover blocks out light to improve visibility
Animetrics FaceGen Model Validation 100% 47.76%
Summary/Conclusions • Created an end to end framework which is validated to work with frontal poses • Scientifically validated that the models facing forward are equivalent to human beings for ROI of face recognition • Shown how synthetic data takes out or controls many existing variables in facial recognition. • Recent publication in the upcoming AMFG workshop shows the biometric research community has interest in developing this technique further.
