Learning to Attract and Repel: Dual Quality Margin Learning for Face Recognition (DQM-Face)

- 结合特征幅值与语义注意力,动态优化吸引与排斥边距。
- 在多个基准上超越现有方法,最高提升1.8%准确率。
- 同时实现高质量特征学习与图像质量评估,适合实际部署场景。
无约束环境下的面部识别仍面临巨大挑战,因真实场景中存在多样且极端的变化。现有基于边距的方法仅依赖特征幅值建模样本质量,易受无关噪声干扰,降低表示可靠性与判别能力。本文提出双质量边距学习框架(DQM-Face),在表征学习中引入精细的吸引与排斥机制。该方法融合传统幅值质量估计与新型语义质量学习,通过挤压-激励语义注意力实现。联合利用幅值与语义线索,构建自适应的质量感知边距,增强类内紧凑性;同时设计排斥边距,显式扩大类间分离。统一整合语义质量建模与双侧边距优化,生成更结构化、判别性强的特征空间。大量实验表明,DQM-Face在多个挑战性基准上持续优于当前最优方法,最高提升1.8%。此外,所学质量信号可有效用于图像质量评估,与识别目标高度对齐。代码已开源:https://github.com/RAIB-group/DQM-Face
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Face recognition in unconstrained environments remains highly challenging due to diverse and extreme variations encountered in real-world scenarios. To mitigate these effects, existing margin-based approaches model sample quality through feature magnitude. However, magnitude-based modeling alone is susceptible to identity-agnostic noise, which can degrade the reliability and discriminative power of learned representations. In this paper, we propose Dual Quality Margin Learning for Face Recognition (DQM-Face), a novel framework that enables refined attraction and repulsion dynamics during representation learning. Our approach unifies conventional magnitude-based quality estimation with a newly introduced semantic quality learning mechanism, realized via squeeze-and-excitation semantic attention. By jointly leveraging magnitude and semantic cues, we construct enhanced quality-aware margins that adaptively strengthen intra-class compactness through improved attraction during learning. To further enhance inter-class discrimination, we introduce a repulsion margin formulation that explicitly enlarges inter-class separation. The unified integration of semantic quality modeling with dual attraction-repulsion margin optimization results in a more structured and discriminative feature geometry. Extensive experiments on multiple challenging benchmarks demonstrate that DQM-Face consistently outperforms state-of-the-art face recognition methods. Moreover, we show that the quality learned for margin optimization is highly effective for face image quality assessment within the proposed framework, demonstrating that the learned quality signal is intrinsically aligned with the recognition objective.
