ABSTRACT
Video face recognition is a very popular task and has come a long way. The primary challenges such as illumination, resolution and pose are well studied through multiple data sets. However there are no video-based data sets dedicated to study the effects of aging on facial appearance. We present a challenging face track data set, Harry Potter Movies Aging Data set (Accio1), to study and develop age invariant face recognition methods for videos. Our data set not only has strong challenges of pose, illumination and distractors, but also spans a period of ten years providing substantial variation in facial appearance. We propose two primary tasks: within and across movie face track retrieval; and two protocols which differ in their freedom to use external data. We present baseline results for the retrieval performance using a state-of-the-art face track descriptor. Our experiments show clear trends of reduction in performance as the age gap between the query and database increases. We will make the data set publicly available for further exploration in age-invariant video face recognition.

Collaborative expression representation using peak expression and intra class variation face images for practical subject-independent emotion recognition in videos
This paper proposes a facial expression recognition (FER) method in videos. The proposed method automatically selects the peak expression face from a video sequence using closeness of the face to the neutral expression. The severely non-frontal faces ...
Open-set face recognition across look-alike faces in real-world scenarios
The open-set problem is among the problems that have significantly changed the performance of face recognition algorithms in real-world scenarios. Open-set operates under the supposition that not all the probes have a pair in the gallery. Most face ...
Face recognition under varying illumination using gradientfaces
In this correspondence, we propose a novel method to extract illumination insensitive features for face recognition under varying lighting called the Gradientfaces. Theoretical analysis shows Gradientfaces is an illumination insensitive measure, and ...
