A survey on video face recognition using deep learning

The research on facial recognition consists of Still-Image Face Recognition (SIFR) and Video Face Recognition (VFR), is a common subject being debated among researchers since it does not require any touch like other biometric identification, such as fingerprints and palm prints. Various methods have been proposed and developed to solve the problems of face recognition. Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) is one of the deep learning techniques that is suggested for both SIFR and VFR. However, several issues related to VFR have still not been solved. Hence, the objective of this paper is to review VFR using deep learning that specifically focuses on several steps of VFR. The VFR steps consists of six main stages; input video of the face, face anti-spoofing module, face and landmark detection, preprocessing, facial feature extraction and face output that include identification or verification result. A summary of implementation of deep learning within VFR steps is discussed. Finally, some directions for future research are also discussed

A comprehensive survey on Pose-Invariant Face Recognition

© 2016 ACM. The capacity to recognize faces under varied poses is a fundamental human ability that presents a unique challenge for computer vision systems. Compared to frontal face recognition, which has been intensively studied and has gradually matured in the past few decades, Pose-Invariant Face Recognition (PIFR) remains a largely unsolved problem. However, PIFR is crucial to realizing the full potential of face recognition for real-world applications, since face recognition is intrinsically a passive biometric technology for recognizing uncooperative subjects. In this article, we discuss the inherent difficulties in PIFR and present a comprehensive review of established techniques. Existing PIFR methods can be grouped into four categories, that is, pose-robust feature extraction approaches, multiview subspace learning approaches, face synthesis approaches, and hybrid approaches. The motivations, strategies, pros/cons, and performance of representative approaches are described and compared. Moreover, promising directions for future research are discussed
