HSVM-HPLS-HFCN-openset

The problem of open-set face recognition determines whether the subject’s picture presented to the recognition system belongs to a known individual (person in the gallery). This problem is of great importance to find suspects in public environment. For instance, an airport or a train station have a list of wanted subjects (watch-list) that should be recognized when they walk in the monitored space. However, at the same time the face recognition system cannot mistakenly recognize an unwanted person as a wanted one (false alarms). This is the focus of our paper entitled Towards Open-Set Face Recognition using Hashing Functions that was presented in The International Joint Conference on Biometrics (IJCB 2017) and received the Best Paper Runner-up Award.

In this framework, we combine hashing functions and classification methods to estimate when probe samples are known (i.e., belong to the gallery set). We carry out experiments with Support Vector Machine, Partial Least Squares and Neural Networks to show how response value histograms tend to behave for known and unknown individuals whenever we test a probe sample. In addition, we conduct experiments on FRGCv1, PubFig83 and VGGFace to show that our method continues effective regardless of the dataset difficulty.

Reference Paper

This framework was developed during the pursuance of my Master's degree in collaboration with Samira Silva, Filipe Costa and Professor William Schwartz. If you find this work interesting, please cite our work:

Getting Started

The instructions below will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes. If you have any doubts about implementation and deployment, do not hesitate contating me at my PERSONAL HOMEPAGE. To clone this repository, simply enter the following command in your terminal:

git clone https://github.com/rafaelvareto/HPLS-HFCN-openset.git

Installation Process

The method described herein was desgined and evaluated on a linux-based machine with Python 2.7.6 and OpenCV 3.1.0. In addition to OpenCV, the following Python libraries are required in order to execute our full pipeline: H5PY, JOBLIB, MATPLOTLIB, NUMPY, PILLOW, SCIKIT, SCIPY, TENSORFLOW, THEANO and KERAS to name a few.

First of all, you should make sure that a recent version of OpenCV is installed in your system. We recommend installing the default OpenCV and its additional modules (contrib). For a complete installation guide, please check this link out. If you think no contrib module is indeed necessary, you can install OpenCV according to the following terminal commands (Linux):

Essential compiling libraries:

sudo apt-get install build-essential checkinstall cmake pkg-config yasm

Handling different image formats:

sudo apt-get install libtiff5-dev libpng16-dev libjpeg8-dev libjasper-dev

Handling different video formats:

sudo apt-get install libavcodec-dev libavformat-dev libswscale-dev libdc1394-22-dev libxine-dev libgstreamer0.10-dev libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-dev libv4l-dev

Python development libraries:

sudo apt-get install python-dev libpython-all-dev libtbb-dev

Now you can clone OpenCV repository before installing it on your system:

cd ~
git clone https://github.com/Itseez/opencv.git
cd opencv
git checkout 3.1.0

Time to setup the build:

cd ~/opencv
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RELEASE \
    -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local \
    -D WITH_TBB=ON \
    -D WITH_FFMPEG=ON \
    -D INSTALL_C_EXAMPLES=ON \
    -D INSTALL_PYTHON_EXAMPLES=ON \
    -D BUILD_EXAMPLES=ON ..

In addition to OpenCV, the following Python libraries are required in order to execute our full pipeline:

* pip install cerberus
* pip install h5py
* pip install joblib
* pip install matplotlib
* pip install numpy
* pip install pillow
* pip install scikit-learn
* pip install scipy
* pip install sympy

* pip install tensorflow
* pip install theano
* pip install keras

Datasets

In order to reproduce the experiments, you need to either download the utilized datasets (FRGCv1, PubFig83 and VGGFace) and extract their corresponding feature vectors or download their disclosed feature files:

Note that the complete VGGFace dataset contains 2,622 identities. In our experiments, we only utilize 1,000 subject identities holding 15 face samples each.

Deployment Process

The python folder contains all the code employed in the experiments detailed in our IJCB conference paper. There are many python codes, however the main files are:

  • HFCN_openset_load.py: This file runs an embedding of classifiers comprised of binary fully connected network models.
  • HPLS_openset_load.py: This file runs an embedding of classifiers comprised of binary partial least squares models.
  • HSVM_openset_load.py: This file runs an embedding of classifiers comprised of binary support vector machine models.

FYI: The main difference between load and feat files is that the former is configure to load dataset feature vectors from files (links are available above) whereas the latter extracts features at execution time.

Folder bash contains a series of bash scripts for PLS and SVM. Besides, it is also composed of two subfolders: files and plots. Make sure these two folders exist so that the algorithms can save ouput files and plots for validation.

Folder datasets is supposed to keep the datasets images. Remember that when datasets image samples are explored, you must use feat python files or extract features using features/extract_features.py to use load python files.

Folder features is supposed to keep the datasets extracted feature files. Remember that when datasets image samples are explored, you must use load python files. In order to open feature files, use the following python command:

import pickle
file_name = 'FRGC-SET-4-DEEP.bin'
with open(file_name, 'rb') as infile:
    matrix_z, matrix_y, matrix_x = pickle.load(infile)

Folder libsvm and scripts hold all the necessary files for running one of the basilines: one-class LIBSVM.

Suppose you have installed all the necessary Python requirements and downloaded all necessary .bin-feature dataset files. Assuming that you are on this repository's python folder and the feature files are stored in the python/features, you can run the developed methods by simply typing the following command in terminal:

python HPLS_openset_load.py -p ./features/ -f FRGC-SET-4-DEEP.bin -r 10 -m 10 -ks 0.1 -ts 0.5

Where -p determines the feature path, -f specifies the feature file, -r indicates the number of repetitions, -m defines the number of binary models, -ks and -ts designates the percentage of individuals known at training stage and the percetage of known subject samples using for training, respectively.
