Face verification vs. face recogntion

Verification

• Input image, name/ID
• Output whether the input image is that of the claimed person.

Recognition

• Has a database of K peosons(or not recognized)

Relations

We can use a face verification system to make a face recognition system. The accuracy of the verification system has to be high (around 99.9% or more) to be use accurately within a recognition system because the recognition system accuracy will be less than the verification system given K persons.

One Shot Learning

• One of the face recognition challenges is to solve one shot learning problem.
• One Shot Learning: A recognition system is able to recognize a person, learning from one image.
• Historically deep learning doesn’t work well with a small number of data.
  Instead to make this work, we will learn a similarity function:
  $d(img1,img2)$ = degree of difference between images.
  We want d result to be low in case of the same faces.
  We use $\tau$ as a threshold for d:
  If $d(img1,img2)<=\tau$ Then the faces are the same.
• Similarity function helps us solving the one shot learning. Also its robust to new inputs.

Siamese Network

• We will implement the similarity function using a type of NNs called Siamease Network in which we can pass multiple inputs to the two or more networks with the same architecture and parameters.
• The loss function will be $d(x^{}$
