   Controllable and Guided Face Synthesis for Unconstrained Face Recognition

   Feng Liu, Minchul Kim, Anil Jain, Xiaoming Liu

   Although significant advances have been made in face recognition (FR), FR in unconstrained environments remains challenging due to the domain gap between the semi-constrained training datasets and unconstrained testing scenarios. To address this problem, we propose a controllable face synthesis model (CFSM) that can mimic the distribution of target datasets ...

   Disentangled Representation Learning GAN for Pose-Invariant Face Recognition

   Luan Tran, Xi Yin, Xiaoming Liu

   The large pose discrepancy between two face images is one of the fundamental challenges in automatic face recognition. Conventional approaches to pose-invariant face recognition either perform face frontalization on, or learn a pose-invariant representation from, a non-frontal face image. We argue that it is more desirable to perform both tasks ...

   Towards Large-Pose Face Frontalization in the Wild

   Xi Yin, Xiang Yu, Kihyuk Sohn, Xiaoming Liu, Manmohan Chandraker

   Despite recent advances in face recognition using deep learning, severe accuracy drops are observed for large pose variations in unconstrained environments. Learning pose-invariant features is one solution, but needs expensively labeled large scale data and carefully designed feature learning algorithms. In this work, we focus on frontalizing faces in the ...
