Facial recognition is fundamental for a wide variety of security systems operating in real-time applications. In video surveillance based face recognition, face images are typically captured over multiple frames in uncontrolled conditions; where head pose, illumination, shadowing, motion blur and focus change over the sequence. We can generalize that the three fundamental operations involved in the facial recognition tasks: face detection, face alignment and face recognition. This study presents comparative benchmark tables for the state-of-art face recognition methods by testing them with same backbone architecture in order to focus only on the face recognition solution instead of network architecture. For this purpose, we constructed a video surveillance dataset of face IDs that has high age variance, intra-class variance (face make-up, beard, etc.) with native surveillance facial imagery data for evaluation. On the other hand, this work discovers the best recognition methods for different conditions like non-masked faces, masked faces, and faces with glasses.

自动面部识别是一个知名的研究领域。在该领域的最后三十年的深入研究中，已经提出了许多不同的面部识别算法。随着深度学习的普及及其解决各种不同问题的能力，面部识别研究人员集中精力在此范式下创建更好的模型。从2015年开始，最先进的面部识别就植根于深度学习模型。尽管有大规模和多样化的数据集可用于评估面部识别算法的性能，但许多现代数据集仅结合了影响面部识别的不同因素，例如面部姿势，遮挡，照明，面部表情和图像质量。当算法在这些数据集上产生错误时，尚不清楚哪些因素导致了此错误，因此，没有指导需要多个方向进行更多的研究。这项工作是我们以前在2014年开发的作品的后续作品，最终于2016年发表，显示了各种面部方面对面部识别算法的影响。通过将当前的最新技术与过去的最佳系统进行比较，我们证明了在强烈的遮挡下，某些类型的照明和强烈表达的面孔是深入学习算法所掌握的问题，而具有低分辨率图像的识别，极端的姿势变化和开放式识别仍然是一个开放的问题。为了证明这一点，我们使用六个不同的数据集和五种不同的面部识别算法以开源和可重现的方式运行一系列实验。我们提供了运行所有实验的源代码，这很容易扩展，因此在我们的评估中利用自己的深网只有几分钟的路程。

实际上，面部识别应用由两个主要步骤组成：面部检测和特征提取。在唯一的基于视觉的解决方案中，第一步通过摄入相机流来生成单个身份的多个检测。边缘设备的实用方法应优先考虑这些身份根据其识别的一致性。从这个角度来看，我们通过将单层附加到面部标志性检测网络来提出面部质量得分回归。几乎没有额外的成本，可以通过训练单层以通过增强等监视来回归识别得分来获得面部质量得分。我们通过所有面部检测管道步骤，包括检测，跟踪和对齐方式，在Edge GPU上实施了建议的方法。全面的实验表明，通过与SOTA面部质量回归模型进行比较，在不同的数据集和现实生活中，提出的方法的效率。

The emergence of COVID-19 has had a global and profound impact, not only on society as a whole, but also on the lives of individuals. Various prevention measures were introduced around the world to limit the transmission of the disease, including face masks, mandates for social distancing and regular disinfection in public spaces, and the use of screening applications. These developments also triggered the need for novel and improved computer vision techniques capable of (i) providing support to the prevention measures through an automated analysis of visual data, on the one hand, and (ii) facilitating normal operation of existing vision-based services, such as biometric authentication schemes, on the other. Especially important here, are computer vision techniques that focus on the analysis of people and faces in visual data and have been affected the most by the partial occlusions introduced by the mandates for facial masks. Such computer vision based human analysis techniques include face and face-mask detection approaches, face recognition techniques, crowd counting solutions, age and expression estimation procedures, models for detecting face-hand interactions and many others, and have seen considerable attention over recent years. The goal of this survey is to provide an introduction to the problems induced by COVID-19 into such research and to present a comprehensive review of the work done in the computer vision based human analysis field. Particular attention is paid to the impact of facial masks on the performance of various methods and recent solutions to mitigate this problem. Additionally, a detailed review of existing datasets useful for the development and evaluation of methods for COVID-19 related applications is also provided. Finally, to help advance the field further, a discussion on the main open challenges and future research direction is given.

Person recognition at a distance entails recognizing the identity of an individual appearing in images or videos collected by long-range imaging systems such as drones or surveillance cameras. Despite recent advances in deep convolutional neural networks (DCNNs), this remains challenging. Images or videos collected by long-range cameras often suffer from atmospheric turbulence, blur, low-resolution, unconstrained poses, and poor illumination. In this paper, we provide a brief survey of recent advances in person recognition at a distance. In particular, we review recent work in multi-spectral face verification, person re-identification, and gait-based analysis techniques. Furthermore, we discuss the merits and drawbacks of existing approaches and identify important, yet under explored challenges for deploying remote person recognition systems in-the-wild.

Recent face recognition experiments on a major benchmark (LFW [14]) show stunning performance-a number of algorithms achieve near to perfect score, surpassing human recognition rates. In this paper, we advocate evaluations at the million scale (LFW includes only 13K photos of 5K people). To this end, we have assembled the MegaFace dataset and created the first MegaFace challenge. Our dataset includes One Million photos that capture more than 690K different individuals. The challenge evaluates performance of algorithms with increasing numbers of "distractors" (going from 10 to 1M) in the gallery set. We present both identification and verification performance, evaluate performance with respect to pose and a persons age, and compare as a function of training data size (#photos and #people). We report results of state of the art and baseline algorithms. The MegaFace dataset, baseline code, and evaluation scripts, are all publicly released for further experimentations 1 .

Recently, a popular line of research in face recognition is adopting margins in the well-established softmax loss function to maximize class separability. In this paper, we first introduce an Additive Angular Margin Loss (ArcFace), which not only has a clear geometric interpretation but also significantly enhances the discriminative power. Since ArcFace is susceptible to the massive label noise, we further propose sub-center ArcFace, in which each class contains K sub-centers and training samples only need to be close to any of the K positive sub-centers. Sub-center ArcFace encourages one dominant sub-class that contains the majority of clean faces and non-dominant sub-classes that include hard or noisy faces. Based on this self-propelled isolation, we boost the performance through automatically purifying raw web faces under massive real-world noise. Besides discriminative feature embedding, we also explore the inverse problem, mapping feature vectors to face images. Without training any additional generator or discriminator, the pre-trained ArcFace model can generate identity-preserved face images for both subjects inside and outside the training data only by using the network gradient and Batch Normalization (BN) priors. Extensive experiments demonstrate that ArcFace can enhance the discriminative feature embedding as well as strengthen the generative face synthesis.

基于软马克斯的损失函数及其变体（例如，界面，圆顶和弧形）可显着改善野生无约束场景中的面部识别性能。这些算法的一种常见实践是对嵌入特征和线性转换矩阵之间的乘法进行优化。但是，在大多数情况下，基于传统的设计经验给出了嵌入功能的尺寸，并且在给出固定尺寸时，使用该功能本身提高性能的研究较少。为了应对这一挑战，本文提出了一种称为subface的软关系近似方法，该方法采用了子空间功能来促进面部识别的性能。具体而言，我们在训练过程中动态选择每个批次中的非重叠子空间特征，然后使用子空间特征在基于软磁性的损失之间近似完整功能，因此，深层模型的可区分性可以显着增强，以增强面部识别。在基准数据集上进行的综合实验表明，我们的方法可以显着提高香草CNN基线的性能，这强烈证明了基于利润率的损失的子空间策略的有效性。

Recent years witnessed the breakthrough of face recognition with deep convolutional neural networks. Dozens of papers in the field of FR are published every year. Some of them were applied in the industrial community and played an important role in human life such as device unlock, mobile payment, and so on. This paper provides an introduction to face recognition, including its history, pipeline, algorithms based on conventional manually designed features or deep learning, mainstream training, evaluation datasets, and related applications. We have analyzed and compared state-of-the-art works as many as possible, and also carefully designed a set of experiments to find the effect of backbone size and data distribution. This survey is a material of the tutorial named The Practical Face Recognition Technology in the Industrial World in the FG2023.

In this paper, we introduce a new large-scale face dataset named VGGFace2. The dataset contains 3.31 million images of 9131 subjects, with an average of 362.6 images for each subject. Images are downloaded from Google Image Search and have large variations in pose, age, illumination, ethnicity and profession (e.g. actors, athletes, politicians).The dataset was collected with three goals in mind: (i) to have both a large number of identities and also a large number of images for each identity; (ii) to cover a large range of pose, age and ethnicity; and (iii) to minimise the label noise. We describe how the dataset was collected, in particular the automated and manual filtering stages to ensure a high accuracy for the images of each identity.To assess face recognition performance using the new dataset, we train ResNet-50 (with and without Squeeze-and-Excitation blocks) Convolutional Neural Networks on VG-GFace2, on MS-Celeb-1M, and on their union, and show that training on VGGFace2 leads to improved recognition performance over pose and age. Finally, using the models trained on these datasets, we demonstrate state-of-the-art performance on the face recognition of IJB datasets, exceeding the previous state-of-the-art by a large margin. The dataset and models are publicly available 1 .

横梁面部识别（CFR）旨在识别个体，其中比较面部图像源自不同的感测模式，例如红外与可见的。虽然CFR由于与模态差距相关的面部外观的显着变化，但CFR具有比经典的面部识别更具挑战性，但它在具有有限或挑战的照明的场景中，以及在呈现攻击的情况下，它是优越的。与卷积神经网络（CNNS）相关的人工智能最近的进展使CFR的显着性能提高了。由此激励，这项调查的贡献是三倍。我们提供CFR的概述，目标是通过首先正式化CFR然后呈现具体相关的应用来比较不同光谱中捕获的面部图像。其次，我们探索合适的谱带进行识别和讨论最近的CFR方法，重点放在神经网络上。特别是，我们提出了提取和比较异构特征以及数据集的重新访问技术。我们枚举不同光谱和相关算法的优势和局限性。最后，我们讨论了研究挑战和未来的研究线。

由于卷积神经网络（CNN）在过去的十年中检测成功，多对象跟踪（MOT）通过检测方法的使用来控制。随着数据集和基础标记网站的发布，研究方向已转向在跟踪时在包括重新识别对象的通用场景（包括重新识别（REID））上的最佳准确性。在这项研究中，我们通过提供专用的行人数据集并专注于对性能良好的多对象跟踪器的深入分析来缩小监视的范围）现实世界应用的技术。为此，我们介绍SOMPT22数据集；一套新的，用于多人跟踪的新套装，带有带注释的简短视频，该视频从位于杆子上的静态摄像头捕获，高度为6-8米，用于城市监视。与公共MOT数据集相比，这提供了室外监视的MOT的更为集中和具体的基准。我们分析了该新数据集上检测和REID网络的使用方式，分析了将MOT跟踪器分类为单发和两阶段。我们新数据集的实验结果表明，SOTA远非高效率，而单一跟踪器是统一快速执行和准确性的良好候选者，并具有竞争性的性能。该数据集将在以下网址提供：sompt22.github.io

近年来，随着对公共安全的需求越来越多，智能监测网络的快速发展，人员重新识别（RE-ID）已成为计算机视野领域的热门研究主题之一。人员RE-ID的主要研究目标是从不同的摄像机中检索具有相同身份的人。但是，传统的人重新ID方法需要手动标记人的目标，这消耗了大量的劳动力成本。随着深度神经网络的广泛应用，出现了许多基于深入的基于学习的人物的方法。因此，本文促进研究人员了解最新的研究成果和该领域的未来趋势。首先，我们总结了对几个最近公布的人的研究重新ID调查，并补充了系统地分类基于深度学习的人的重新ID方法的最新研究方法。其次，我们提出了一种多维分类，根据度量标准和表示学习，将基于深度学习的人的重新ID方法分为四类，包括深度度量学习，本地特征学习，生成的对抗学习和序列特征学习的方法。此外，我们根据其方法和动机来细分以上四类，讨论部分子类别的优缺点。最后，我们讨论了一些挑战和可能的研究方向的人重新ID。

Face Anti-spoofing (FAS) is essential to secure face recognition systems from various physical attacks. However, recent research generally focuses on short-distance applications (i.e., phone unlocking) while lacking consideration of long-distance scenes (i.e., surveillance security checks). In order to promote relevant research and fill this gap in the community, we collect a large-scale Surveillance High-Fidelity Mask (SuHiFiMask) dataset captured under 40 surveillance scenes, which has 101 subjects from different age groups with 232 3D attacks (high-fidelity masks), 200 2D attacks (posters, portraits, and screens), and 2 adversarial attacks. In this scene, low image resolution and noise interference are new challenges faced in surveillance FAS. Together with the SuHiFiMask dataset, we propose a Contrastive Quality-Invariance Learning (CQIL) network to alleviate the performance degradation caused by image quality from three aspects: (1) An Image Quality Variable module (IQV) is introduced to recover image information associated with discrimination by combining the super-resolution network. (2) Using generated sample pairs to simulate quality variance distributions to help contrastive learning strategies obtain robust feature representation under quality variation. (3) A Separate Quality Network (SQN) is designed to learn discriminative features independent of image quality. Finally, a large number of experiments verify the quality of the SuHiFiMask dataset and the superiority of the proposed CQIL.

随着最近深度卷积神经网络的进步，一般面临的概念取得了重大进展。然而，最先进的一般面部识别模型对遮挡面部图像没有概括，这正是现实世界场景中的常见情况。潜在原因是用于训练和特定设计的大规模遮挡面部数据，用于解决闭塞所带来的损坏功能。本文提出了一种新颖的面部识别方法，其基于单端到端的深神经网络的闭塞是强大的。我们的方法（使用遮挡掩码）命名（面部识别），学会发现深度卷积神经网络的损坏功能，并通过动态学习的面具清洁它们。此外，我们构建了大规模的遮挡面部图像，从有效且有效地培训。与现有方法相比，依靠外部探测器发现遮挡或采用较少鉴别的浅模型的现有方法，从简单且功能强大。 LFW，Megaface挑战1，RMF2，AR数据集和其他模拟遮挡/掩蔽数据集的实验结果证实，从大幅提高了遮挡下的准确性，并概括了一般面部识别。
