Synopsis Neural Network-Based Face Detection

The document presents a neural network-based system for detecting upright frontal faces in images. The system uses a retinally connected neural network to examine windows of an image and classify whether they contain a face or not. It improves on single networks by arbitrating between multiple networks. The system also uses a bootstrap algorithm to automatically generate negative examples from false detections to train the network, eliminating the need for manual selection of non-face examples. Comparisons show the system has performance comparable to other state-of-the-art face detection systems in terms of detection and false positive rates.

SYNOPSIS

Neural Network-Based Face Detection



Abstract

We present a neural network-based upright frontal face detection system. A
retinally connected neural network examines small windows of an image, and
decides whether each window contains a face. The system arbitrates between
multiple networks to improve performance over a single network. We present a
straightforward procedure for aligning positive face examples for training. To
collect negative examples, we use a bootstrap algorithm, which adds false
detections into the training set as training progresses. This eliminates the
difficult task of manually selecting nonface training examples, which must be
chosen to span the entire space of nonface images. Simple heuristics, such as
using the fact that faces rarely overlap in images, can further improve the
accuracy. Comparisons with several other state-of-the-art face detection systems
are presented; showing that our system has comparable performance in terms of
detection and false-positive rates.

Why face recognition?
Face Recognition systems enhance security, provide secure access
control, and protect personal privacy
Improvement in the performance and reliability of face recognition
No need to remember any passwords or carry any ID

2. Why neural network?
Adaptive learning: An ability to learn how to do tasks
Self-Organization: An ANN can create its own organisation
Remarkable ability to derive meaning from complicated or imprecise data







APPLICATIONS-

Law Enforcement: Minimizing victim trauma by narrowing mug shot
searches, Verifying identify for court records, and comparing school
Surveillance camera Images to known child molesters.
Security/Counter terrorism: Access control, comparing surveillance
images to Known terrorists.

Day Care: Verify identity of individuals picking up the children.
Missing Children/Runaways Search surveillance images and the internet
for missing children and runaways.
Residential Security: Alert homeowners of approaching personnel.
Healthcare: Minimize fraud by verifying identity.
Banking: Minimize fraud by verifying identity.

CONCLUSION-

There are no explicit three-dimensional models in our system, however
we have found that the quantized local image samples used as input to the
convolutional network represent smoothly changing shading patterns.
Higher level features are constructed from these building blocks in
successive layers of the convolutional network.
In comparison with the eigenfaces approach, we believe that the system
presented here is able to learn more appropriate features in order to
provide improved generalization
