Title
Face Verification Using Boosted Cross-Image Features.
Abstract
This paper proposes a new approach for face verification, where a pair of images needs to be classified as belonging to the same person or not. This problem is relatively new and not well-explored in the literature. Current methods mostly adopt techniques borrowed from face recognition, and process each of the images in the pair independently, which is counter intuitive. In contrast, we propose to extract cross-image features, i.e. features across the pair of images, which, as we demonstrate, is more discriminative to the similarity and the dissimilarity of faces. Our features are derived from the popular Haar-like features, however, extended to handle the face verification problem instead of face detection. We collect a large bank of cross-image features using filters of different sizes, locations, and orientations. Consequently, we use AdaBoost to select and weight the most discriminative features. We carried out extensive experiments on the proposed ideas using three standard face verification datasets, and obtained promising results outperforming state-of-the-art.
