Abstract

The face verification system based on deep convolutional neural networks (DCNNs) has achieved great success. The architecture of existing methods is somehow shallow because of the insufficient convolutional layers. And the softmax loss function does not enlarge inter-class variations and minimize the intra-class variations. In this paper, a residual network was adopted as the core architecture to extract the discriminative features and it was trained with joint supervision of center loss and softmax loss. The public available CASIA-Webface dataset was used as the training data to train our model for face verification, and the model was tested on LFW and CAS-PEAL-R1 datasets. Experimental results show that our method achieves higher accuracy on LFW and has better robustness than the shallow model such as VGG Face.
