Privacy-Preserving Facial Recognition Using Biometric-Capsules
Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI)In recent years, developers have used the proliferation of biometric sensors in smart devices, along with recent advances in deep learning, to implement an array of biometrics-based recognition systems. Though these systems demonstrate remarkable performance and have seen wide acceptance, they present unique and pressing security and privacy concerns. One proposed method which addresses these concerns is the elegant, fusion-based Biometric-Capsule (BC) scheme. The BC scheme is provably secure, privacy-preserving, cancellable and interoperable in its secure feature fusion design.
In this work, we demonstrate that the BC scheme is uniquely fit to secure state-of-the-art facial verification, authentication and identification systems. We compare the performance of unsecured, underlying biometrics systems to the performance of the BC-embedded systems in order to directly demonstrate the minimal effects of the privacy-preserving BC scheme on underlying system performance. Notably, we demonstrate that, when seamlessly embedded into a state-of-the-art FaceNet and ArcFace verification systems which achieve accuracies of 97.18% and 99.75% on the benchmark LFW dataset, the BC-embedded systems are able to achieve accuracies of 95.13% and 99.13% respectively. Furthermore, we also demonstrate that the BC scheme outperforms or performs as well as several other proposed secure biometric methods
Learning Deep Context-aware Features over Body and Latent Parts for Person Re-identification
Person Re-identification (ReID) is to identify the same person across
different cameras. It is a challenging task due to the large variations in
person pose, occlusion, background clutter, etc How to extract powerful
features is a fundamental problem in ReID and is still an open problem today.
In this paper, we design a Multi-Scale Context-Aware Network (MSCAN) to learn
powerful features over full body and body parts, which can well capture the
local context knowledge by stacking multi-scale convolutions in each layer.
Moreover, instead of using predefined rigid parts, we propose to learn and
localize deformable pedestrian parts using Spatial Transformer Networks (STN)
with novel spatial constraints. The learned body parts can release some
difficulties, eg pose variations and background clutters, in part-based
representation. Finally, we integrate the representation learning processes of
full body and body parts into a unified framework for person ReID through
multi-class person identification tasks. Extensive evaluations on current
challenging large-scale person ReID datasets, including the image-based
Market1501, CUHK03 and sequence-based MARS datasets, show that the proposed
method achieves the state-of-the-art results.Comment: Accepted by CVPR 201
