Model-based 3D Face Reconstruction
Christophe René Joseph Ecabert
The human face plays an essential role in social interactions as it brings information about someone's identity, state of mind, or mood. People are, by nature, very good at catching this non-spoken information. Therefore, scientists have been interested in ...
EPFL2021Motion-Based Counter-Measures to Photo Attacks in Face Recognition
Sébastien Marcel, André Anjos, Murali Mohan Chakka
Identity spoofing is a contender for high-security face recognition applications. With the advent of social media and globalized search, our face images and videos are wide-spread on the internet and can be potentially used to attack biometric systems with ...
2014On the Improvements of Uni-modal and Bi-modal Fusions of Speaker and Face Recognition for Mobile Biometrics
Sébastien Marcel, Laurent El Shafey
The MOBIO database provides a challenging test-bed for speaker and face recognition systems because it includes voice and face samples as they would appear in forensic scenarios. In this paper, we investigate uni-modal and bi-modal multi-algorithm fusion u ...

Idiap2013A framework for objective evaluation of privacy filters in video surveillance
Extensive adoption of video surveillance, affecting many aspects of our daily lives, alarms the public about the increasing invasion into personal privacy. To address these concerns, many tools have been proposed for protection of personal privacy in image ...
Spie-Int Soc Optical Engineering2013MediaEval 2012 Visual Privacy Task: Applying Transform-domain Scrambling to Automatically Detected Faces
Touradj Ebrahimi, Aleksei Triastcyn
In this paper, we describe our approach and discuss evaluation results for the MediaEval 2012 Visual Privacy task. The goal of the task is to obscure faces of people visible in provided surveillance clips to preserve their personal privacy. We also additio ...
2012Competition 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 ...
2011Face 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 ...
Idiap2011Mobile Biometry (MOBIO) Face and Speaker Verification Evaluation
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 ...
Idiap2010An 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 ...
