In some cases, the iris image acquired from an individual can be modified by subjecting it to successive photometric transformations such as brightening, gamma correction, median filtering and Gaussian smoothing, resulting in a family of transformed images. Automatically inferring the relationship between the set of transformed images is important in the context of digital image forensics. In this regard, we develop a method to generate an Image Phylogeny Tree (IPT) from a set of such transformed images. Our strategy entails modeling an arbitrary photometric transformation as a linear or non-linear function and utilizing the parameters of the model to quantify the relationship between pairs of images. The estimated parameters are then used to generate the IPT. Modest, yet promising, results are obtained in terms of parameter estimation and IPT generation.","PeriodicalId":372008,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE International Joint Conference on Biometrics (IJCB)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130798426","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}

This is the first step in the research effort to estimate facial appearance from DNA samples, which is gaining momentum within intelligence, law enforcement and national security communities. The dataset for the study consisting of genetic data and 3D facial scans (phenotype) data was obtained through the FaceBase Consortium. The proposed approach has three main steps: phenotype feature extraction from 3D face images, genotype feature extraction from a DNA sample, and genome-wide association analysis to determine genetic variations that contribute to facial structure and appearance. Results indicate that there exist significant correlations between genetic information and facial structure. We have identified 30 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), i.e. genetic variations, that significantly contribute to facial structure and appearance. We conclude with a preliminary attempt at facial reconstruction from the genetic data and emphasize on the complexity of the problem and the challenges encountered.","PeriodicalId":372008,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE International Joint Conference on Biometrics (IJCB)","volume":"75 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122832353","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}

Due to the variations in image quality, single-image-based 3D face reconstruction might not be sufficient to accurately reconstruct a 3D face. To overcome this limitation, multi-view 3D face reconstruction uses multiple images of the same subject and aggregates complementary information for better accuracy. Though theoretically appealing, there are multiple challenges in practice. Among these challenges, the most significant is that it is difficult to establish coherent and accurate correspondence among a set of images, especially when these images are captured in different conditions. In this paper, we propose a method, Deep Recurrent 3D FAce Reconstruction (DRFAR), to solve the task ofmulti-view 3D face reconstruction using a subspace representation of the 3D facial shape and a deep recurrent neural network that consists of both a deep con-volutional neural network (DCNN) and a recurrent neural network (RNN). The DCNN disentangles the facial identity and the facial expression components for each single image independently, while the RNN fuses identity-related features from the DCNN and aggregates the identity specific contextual information, or the identity signal, from the whole set of images to predict the facial identity parameter, which is robust to variations in image quality and is consistent over the whole set of images. Through extensive experiments, we evaluate our proposed method and demonstrate its superiority over existing methods.","PeriodicalId":372008,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE International Joint Conference on Biometrics (IJCB)","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126606987","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}

A real face displays a different motion behaviour compared to a 3D mask spoof attempt, which is reflected by different facial dynamic textures. However, the different dynamic information usually exists in the subtle texture level, which cannot be fully differentiated by traditional hand-crafted texture-based methods. In this paper, we propose a novel method for 3D mask face anti-spoofing, namely deep convolutional dynamic texture learning, which learns robust dynamic texture information from fine-grained deep convolutional features. Moreover, channel-discriminability constraint is adaptively incorporated to weight the discriminability of feature channels in the learning process.

Most of bio-metric systems secured by template protection schemes are based on binary templates. To adopt popular template protection schemes such as fuzzy commitment and fuzzy extractor that can be applied on binary templates only, non-binary templates (e.g., real-valued, point-set based) need to be converted to binary. However, existing security measurements for binary template based biometric systems either cannot reflect the actual attack difficulties or are too computationally expensive to be practical. This paper presents an acceleration of the guessing entropy which reflects the expected number of guessing trials in attacking the binary template based biometric systems. The acceleration benefits from computation reuse and pruning. Experimental results on two datasets show that the acceleration has more than 6x, 20x, and 200x speed up without losing the estimation accuracy in different system settings.","PeriodicalId":372008,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE International Joint Conference on Biometrics (IJCB)","volume":"88 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126350922","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}

Despite the fact that CNNs showed a remarkable performance in a variety of image semantic segmentations, the output can be noisy and less accurate particularly in object boundaries.

In this work, we have endeavored to develop a novel deep learning approach as the core part for pulse (heart rate) estimation by using a common RGB camera. Our approach consists of four steps. We first begin by detecting the face and its landmarks, and thereby locate the required facial ROI. In Step 2, we extract the sample mean sequences of the R, G, and B channels from the facial ROI, and explore three processing schemes for noise removal and signal enhancement. In Step 3, the Short-Time Fourier Transform (STFT) is employed to build the 2D Time-Frequency Representations (TFRs) of the sequences. The 2D TFR enables the formulation of the pulse estimation as an image-based classification problem, which can be solved in Step 4 by a deep Con-volutional Neural Network (CNN). Our approach is one of the pioneering works for attempting real-time pulse estimation using a deep learning framework. We have developed a pulse database, called the Pulse from Face (PFF), and used it to train the CNN. The PFF database will be made publicly available to advance related research.
