Competition on Counter Measures to 2-D Facial Spoofing Attacks

Sébastien Marcel, André Anjos, Murali Mohan Chakka, Zhiwei Zhang

Spoofing identities using photographs is one of the most common techniques to attack 2-D face recognition systems. There seems to exist no comparative studies of different techniques using the same protocols and data. The motivation behind this competition ...

A Large-Scale Database of Images and Captions for Automatic Face Naming

Barbara Caputo, Jie Luo, Vittorio Ferrari

We present a large scale database of images and captions, designed for supporting research on how to use captioned images from the Web for training visual classifiers. It consists of more than 125,000 images of celebrities from different fields downloaded ...

Face Detection using Ferns

Sébastien Marcel, Venkatesh Bala Subburaman

This paper discusses the use of ferns (a set of binary features) for face detection. The binary feature used here is the sign of pixel intensity difference. Ferns were first introduced for keypoint recognition and showed good performance, and improving the ...

Face Verification using Gabor Filtering and Adapted Gaussian Mixture Models

Sébastien Marcel, Laurent El Shafey

The search for robust features for face recognition in uncontrolled environments is an important topic of research. In particular, there is a high interest in Gabor-based features which have invariance properties to simple geometrical transformations. In t ...

My face through the looking-glass: The effect of mirror reversal on reflection size estimation

Olaf Blanke, Sebastian Dieguez Falcon, Jakob Scherer

People tend to grossly overestimate the size of their mirror-reflected face. Although this overestimation bias is robust, not much is known about its relationships to self-face perception. In two experiments, we investigated the overestimation bias as a fu ...

A novel statistical generative model dedicated to face recognition

Sébastien Marcel, Guillaume Heusch

In this paper, a novel statistical generative model to describe a face is presented, and is applied to the face authentication task. Classical generative models used so far in face recognition, such as Gaussian Mixture Models (GMMs) and Hidden Markov Model ...

On the Results of the First Mobile Biometry (MOBIO) Face and Speaker Verification Evaluation

Sébastien Marcel, Norman Hoon Thian Poh

This paper evaluates the performance of face and speaker verification techniques in the context of a mobile environment. The mobile environment was chosen as it provides a realistic and challenging test-bed for biometric person verification techniques to o ...

An Alternative Scanning Strategy to Detect Faces

Sébastien Marcel, Venkatesh Bala Subburaman

The sliding window approach is the most widely used technique to detect faces in an image. Usually a classifier is applied on a regular grid and to speed up the scanning, the grid spacing is increased, which increases the number of miss detections. In this ...
