QualFace: Adapting Deep Learning Face Recognition for ID and Travel Doc with Quality Assessment

Featured in:

BIOSIG 2021

Authors:

João Tremoço, Iurii Medvedev and Nuno Gonçalves

Abstract

Modern face recognition relies heavily on deep neural networks trained on public celebrity datasets due to limited access to compliant ID document image datasets. To address this, we propose a novel approach utilizing specific sample mining and quality estimation to adapt deep networks for ID document security. Extensive experiments validate our method’s effectiveness.
