However, existing kinship verification methods suffer from the lack of large scale real-world data. Without enough training data, it is difficult to learn proper features that are discriminant for blood-related peoples. In this work, we propose KinNet, a fine-to-coarse deep metric learning framework for kinship verification. In the framework, we transfer knowledge from the large-scale-data-driven face recognition task, which is a fine-grained version of kinship recognition, by pre-training the network with massive data for face recognition. Then, the network is fine-tuned to find a metric space where kin-related peoples are discriminant. The metric space is learned by minimizing a soft triplet loss on the augmented kinship dataset. An augmented strategy is proposed to balance the amount of images per family member. Finally, we ensemble four networks to further boost the performance. The experimental results on the 1st Large-Scale Kinship Recognition Data Challenge (Track 1) demonstrate that our KinNet achieves the state-of-the-art performance in kinship verification.","PeriodicalId":209776,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2017 Workshop on Recognizing Families In the Wild","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127106060","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The goal of kinship verification is to determine whether a pair of faces are blood relatives or not. Most previous methods for kinship verification can be divided as hand-crafted features based shallow learning methods and convolutional neural network (CNN) based deep learning methods. Nevertheless, these methods are still posed with the challenging task of recognizing kinship cues from facial images. Part of the reason for this may be that, the family information and the distribution difference of pairwise kin-face data based kinship verification issue are rarely considered. Inspired by maximum mean discrepancy (MMD) and generative adversarial net (GAN), family ID based Adversarial contrastive residual Network (AdvNet) is proposed for large-scale (1 Million) kinship recognition in this paper. The MMD based adversarial loss (AL), pairwise contrastive loss (CL) and family ID based softmax loss (SL) are jointly formulated in the proposed AdvNet for kin-relation enhancement and discovery. Further, the deep nets ensemble is used for deep kin-feature augmentation. Finally, Euclidean distance metric is used for kinship recognition. Extensive experiments on the 1st Large-Scale Kinship Recognition Data Challenge (Families in the wild) show the effectiveness of our proposed AdvNet and ensemble based feature augmentation.","PeriodicalId":209776,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2017 Workshop on Recognizing Families In the Wild","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127489078","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Several hundred thousand immigration relationship tests are processed annually for DHS by AABB accredited laboratories. The AABB Relationship Testing Subcommittee sets the standards for those tests and accreditation of relationship testing laboratories. But, shipping of the collection kits overseas and coordinating DNA collection can cause these tests to take weeks to months to process and results to be returned. Rapid DNA uses microfluidics technology to reduce the million-dollar clean-room DNA processes down to a standalone, integrated, and automated desktop system that processes five to seven DNA samples in 90 minutes in a closed, hands-off system. Rapid DNA is built to be operated by DHS field officers and agents. It is about the size of a laser printer, and can be operated in an office setting by anyone who can change a printer cartridge. It is also ruggedized to military requirements, and can be operated in hazardous field environments on generator power. Setup takes just 15 minutes. With success showing that Rapid DNA accurately verifies family relationships, additional DHS needs were identified to fight human trafficking along U.S. borders and reunify families following critical or mass-casualty incidents. This presentation will discuss the DHS needs for family relationship verification, AABB Standards, and Rapid DNA performance and field test results.","PeriodicalId":209776,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2017 Workshop on Recognizing Families In the Wild","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129486421","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
