Abstract
In this paper, we present a deep coupled learning framework to address the problem of matching polarimetric thermal face photos against a gallery of visible faces. Polarization state information of thermal faces provides the missing textural and geometrics details in the thermal face imagery which exist in visible spectrum. we propose a coupled deep neural network architecture which leverages relatively large visible and thermal datasets to overcome the problem of overfitting and eventually we train it by a polarimetric thermal face dataset which is the first of its kind. The proposed architecture is able to make full use of the polarimetric thermal information to train a deep model compared to the conventional shallow thermal-to-visible face recognition methods. Proposed coupled deep neural network also finds global discriminative features in a nonlinear embedding space to relate the polarimetric thermal faces to their corresponding visible faces. The results show the superiority of our method compared to the state-of-the-art models in cross thermal-to-visible face recognition algorithms.
