Face recognition remains a hot topic in computer vision, and it is challenging to tackle the problem that both the training and testing images are corrupted. In this paper, we propose a novel semi-supervised method based on the theory of the low-rank matrix recovery for face recognition, which can simultaneously learn discriminative low-rank and sparse representations for both training and testing images. To this end, a correlation penalty term is introduced into the formulation of our proposed method to learn an incoherent dictionary. Experimental results on several face image databases demonstrate the effectiveness of our method, i.e., the proposed method is robust to the illumination, expression and pose variations, as well as images with noises such as block occlusion or uniform noises.

Face recognition has been widely studied due to its importance in smart cities applications. However, the case when both training and test images are corrupted is not well solved. To address such a problem, this paper proposes a locality constrained low rank representation and dictionary learning (LCLRRDL) algorithm for robust face recognition. In particular, we present three contributions in the proposed formulation. First, a low-rank representation is introduced to handle the possible contamination of the training as well as test data. Second, a locality constraint is incorporated to acknowledge the intrinsic manifold structure of training data. With the locality constraint term, our scheme induces similar samples to have similar representations. Third, a compact dictionary is learned to handle the problem of corrupted data. The experimental results on two public databases demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach. Matlab code of our proposed LCLRRDL can be downloaded from https://***/yinhefeng/LCLRRDL.

To learn disentangled representations of facial images, we present a Dual Encoder-Decoder based Generative Adversarial Network (DED-GAN). In the proposed method, both the generator and discriminator are designed with deep encoder-decoder architectures as their backbones. To be more specific, the encoder-decoder structured generator is used to learn a pose disentangled face representation, and the encoder-decoder structured discriminator is tasked to perform real/fake classification, face reconstruction, determining identity and estimating face pose. We further improve the proposed network architecture by minimising the additional pixel-wise loss defined by the Wasserstein distance at the output of the discriminator so that the adversarial framework can be better trained. Additionally, we consider face pose variation to be continuous, rather than discrete in existing literature, to inject richer pose information into our model. The pose estimation task is formulated as a regression problem, which helps to disentangle identity information from pose variations. The proposed network is evaluated on the tasks of pose-invariant face recognition (PIFR) and face synthesis across poses. An extensive quantitative and qualitative evaluation carried out on several controlled and in-the-wild benchmarking datasets demonstrates the superiority of the proposed DED-GAN method over the state-of-the-art approaches.

Infrared and visible image fusion is an important problem in the field of image fusion which has been applied widely in many fields. To better preserve the useful information from source images, in this paper, we propose a novel image fusion method based on latent low-rank representation(LatLRR) which is simple and effective. Firstly, the source images are decomposed into low-rank parts(global structure) and salient parts(local structure) by LatLRR. Then, the low-rank parts are fused by weighted-average strategy to preserve more contour information. Then, the salient parts are simply fused by sum strategy which is a efficient operation in this fusion framework. Finally, the fused image is obtained by combining the fused low-rank part and the fused salient part. Compared with other fusion methods experimentally, the proposed method has better fusion performance than state-of-the-art fusion methods in both subjective and objective evaluation. The Code of our fusion method is available at https://***/hli1221/imagefusion_Infrared_visible_latlrr. Copyright © 2018, The Authors. All rights reserved.

Sparse-representation-based classification (SRC) has been widely studied and developed for various practical signal classification applications. However, the performance of a SRC-based method is degraded when both the training and test data are corrupted. To counteract this problem, we propose an approach that learns Representation with Block-Diagonal Structure (RBDS) for robust image recognition. To be more specific, we first introduce a regularization term that captures the block-diagonal structure of the target representation matrix of the training data. The resulting problem is then solved by an optimizer. Last, based on the learned representation, a simple yet effective linear classifier is used for the classification task. The experimental results obtained on several benchmarking datasets demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed RBDS method. The code will be released upon the acceptance of this paper.

The importance of wild video based image set recognition is becoming monotonically increasing due to the large amount of video resources obtained by diversified video collection approaches, like surveillance, drive recorders, smart phones, and internet. However, the contents of these collected videos are often complicated, and how to efficiently perform set modeling and feature extraction is a big challenge for set-based classification algorithms. In recent years, some proposed image set classification methods have made a considerable advance by modeling the original image set with covariance matrix, linear subspace, or Gaussian distribution. Moreover, the distinctive geometry spanned by them are Symmetric Positive Definite (SPD) manifold, Grassmann manifold, and Gaussian embedded Riemannian manifold, respectively. As a matter of fact, most of them just adopt a single geometric model to describe each given image set, which may lose some other useful information for classification. To tackle this problem, we propose a novel algorithm to model each image set from a multi-geometric perspective. Specifically, the covariance matrix, linear subspace, and Gaussian distribution are applied for set representation simultaneously. In order to fuse these multiple heterogeneous Riemannian manifoldvalued features, the well-equipped Riemannian kernel functions are first utilized to map them into high dimensional Hilbert spaces. Then, a multi-kernel metric learning framework is devised to embed the learned hybrid kernels into a lower dimensional common subspace for classification. We conduct experiments on four widely used datasets corresponding to four different classification tasks: video-based face recognition, set-based object categorization, video-based emotion recognition, and dynamic scene classification, to evaluate the classification performance of the proposed algorithm. Extensive experimental results justify its superiority over the state-of-the-art. Copyright © 2019, Th

In recent years, convolutional neural networks have achieved more outstanding results and been widely used in the field of image quality assessment compared with the traditional handcraft method. This paper presents a no-reference image quality assessment method based on dual-channel convolutional neural network. The raw image is labeled by visual information fidelity and divided into multiple patches as input. After that, feature extraction is performed by two network channels with different pooling layers. The features are Iinearly stitched and sent to the fully connected layer. The experimental results on the LIVE database and the TID2008 database show that our model has the state-of-the-art performance and obtain a better consistency with human subjective assessment.

In this paper, we propose a novel deep learning network L1-2D2PCANet for face recognition, which is based on L1-norm-based two-directional two-dimensional principal component analysis (L1-2D2PCA). In our network, the role of L1-2D2PCA is to learn the filters of multiple convolution layers. After the convolution layers, we deploy binary hashing and block-wise histogram for pooling. We test our network on some benchmark facial datasets YALE, AR, Extended Yale B, LFW-a and FERET with CNN, PCANet, 2DPCANet and L1-PCANet as comparison. The results show that the recognition performance of L1-2D2PCANet in all tests is better than baseline networks, especially when there are outliers in the test data. Owing to the L1-norm, L1-2D2PCANet is robust to outliers and changes of the training images. Copyright © 2018, The Authors. All rights reserved.

In recent years, deep learning has become a very active research tool which is used in many image processing fields. In this paper, we propose an effective image fusion method using a deep learning framework to generate a single image which contains all the features from infrared and visible images. First, the source images are decomposed into base parts and detail content. Then the base parts are fused by weighted-averaging. For the detail content, we use a deep learning network to extract multi-layer features. Using these features, we use l1-norm and weighted-average strategy to generate several candidates of the fused detail content. Once we get these candidates, the max selection strategy is used to get the final fused detail content. Finally, the fused image will be reconstructed by combining the fused base part and the detail content. The experimental results demonstrate that our proposed method achieves state-of-the-art performance in both objective assessment and visual quality.
