Abstract(1/2)

Face recognition approaches have traditionally focused on direct comparisons between aligned images, e.g. using pixel values or local image features. Such comparisons become prohibitively difficult when comparing faces across extreme differences in pose, illumination and expression.

To this end we describe an image of a face by an ordered list of identities from a Library. The order of the list is determined by the similarity of the Library images to the probe image. The lists act as a signature for each face image: similarity between face images is determined via the similarity of the signatures.

Abstract(2/2)

Here the CMU Multi-PIE database, which includes images of 337 individuals in more than 2000 pose, lighting and illumination combinations, serves as the Library.

We show improved performance over state of the art face-similarity measures based on local features, such as FPLBP, especially across large pose variations on FacePix and Multi-PIE. On LFW we show improved performance in comparison with measures like SIFT (on fiducials), LBP, FPLBP and Gabor (C1).

are similar for similar people(Even under different imaging conditions)

Experiment- on Multi-PIE

The classification performance using ten fold cross-validation is 76:6% ± 2.0(both FPLBP and SSIM on direct image comparison perform near chance). To the best of our knowledge these are the first results reported across all pose, illumination and expression conditions on Multi-PIE.

Conclusion(1/2) To the best of our knowledge, we have shown the first verification results

for face-similarity measures under truly unconstrained expression, illumination and pose, including full profile, on both Multi-PIE and FacePix.

The advantages of the ranked Doppelganger lists become apparent when the two probe images depict faces in very different poses. Our method does not require explicit training and is able to cope with large pose ranges.

It is straightforward to generalize our method to an even larger variety of imaging conditions, by adding further examples to the Library. No change in our algorithm is required, as its only assumption is that imaging conditions.

Conclusion(2/2) We expect that a great deal of improvement can be achieved by using this

powerful comparison method as an additional feature in a complete verification or recognition pipeline where it can add the robustness that is required for face recognition across large pose ranges. Furthermore, we

are currently exploring the use of ranked lists of identities in other classification domains.

Abstract(1/2)

Human-nameable visual “attributes” can benefit various recognition tasks. However, existing techniques restrict these properties to categorical labels (for example, a person is ‘smiling’ or not, a scene is ‘dry’ or not), and thus fail to capture more general semantic relationships.

We propose to model relative attributes. Given training data stating how object/scene categories relate according to different attributes, we learn a ranking function per attribute. The learned ranking functions predict the relative strength of each property in novel images.

Abstract(2/2)

We then build a generative model over the joint space of attribute ranking outputs, and propose a novel form of zero-shot learning in which the supervisor relates the unseen object category to previously seen objects via attributes (for example, ‘bears are furrier than giraffes’).

We further show how the proposed relative attributes enable richer textual descriptions for new images, which in practice are more precise for human interpretation. We demonstrate the approach on datasets of faces and natural scenes, and show its clear advantages over traditional binary attribute prediction for these new tasks

Motivation

However, for a large variety of attributes, not only is this binary setting restrictive, but it is also unnatural.

Why we model relative attributes?

Conclusion

We introduced relative attributes, which allow for a richer language of supervision and description than the commonly used categorical (binary) attributes. We presented two novel applications: zero-shot learning based on relationships and describing images relative to other images or categories. Through extensive experiments as well as a human subject study, we clearly demonstrated the advantages of our idea. Future work includes exploring more novel applications of relative attributes, such as guided search or interactive learning, and automatic discovery of relative attributes.
