  • 引入生物特征效用(通过置信度比估计)改进自适应边距损失。
  • 在高质量数据集上表现媲美顶尖模型,在低质量数据集上显著超越。
  • 适合处理模糊、低分辨率等实际场景中的人脸识别任务。

人脸识别广泛应用于娱乐、金融、安防等领域,要求模型在各种环境下保持鲁棒性。当前先进模型通常采用表达力强的自适应边距损失函数,将特征范数与可识别性、感知图像质量等样本质量概念关联。近年来,随着人脸图像质量评估(FIQA)技术的发展,生物特征效用成为衡量人脸图像质量的优选指标,相比分辨率、模糊度、光照等通用图像质量因素,更能预测样本对人脸识别的实际价值。尽管特征范数与生物特征效用存在一定相关性,但无法完全涵盖其全部维度。为此,我们提出新的自适应边距损失 FunFace(通过效用和范数估计实现人脸识别),借鉴 AdaFace 思路,将由置信度比估计的生物特征效用融入自适应边距。实验表明,使用 FunFace 训练的人脸识别模型在高质量样本基准上表现媲美现有最优模型,而在低质量基准上显著超越现有方法。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Face Recognition (FR) is used in a variety of application domains, from entertainment and banking to security and surveillance. Such applications rely on the FR model to be robust and perform well in a variety of settings. To achieve this, state-of-the-art FR models typically use expressive adaptive margin loss functions, which tie the feature norm to concepts related to sample quality, such as recognizability and perceptual image quality. Recently, through the development of Face Image Quality Assessment (FIQA) techniques, biometric utility has become the preferred measure of face-image quality and has been shown to be a better predictor of the usefulness of samples for face recognition compared to more human-centric aspects, such as resolution, blur, and lighting, tied to general image quality. While image quality expressed through feature norms exhibits a certain level of correlation with biometric utility, it does not fully encapsulate all aspects of utility. To address this point, we propose a new adaptive margin loss, FunFace (Face Recognition Through Utility and Norm Estimation), which incorporates biometric utility, estimated by the Certainty Ratio, into the adaptive margin, taking inspiration from AdaFace. We show that FunFace (when used to train a face recognition model) achieves competitive results to other state-of-the-art FR models on benchmarks containing high-quality samples, while surpassing them on low quality benchmarks.
