Abstract

This research proposes Real-time Deep Learning-based Face recognition algorithms using MATLAB and Python. Generally, Face recognition is defined as the process through which people are identified using facial images. This technology is applied broadly in biometrics, security information, accessing controlled areas, etc. The facial recognition system can be built by following two steps. In the first step, the facial features are picked up or extracted, then the second step involves pattern classification. Deep learning, specifically the convolutional neural network (CNN), has recently made more progress in face recognition technology. Convolution Neural Network is one among the Deep Learning approaches and has shown excellent performance in many fields, such as image recognition of a large amount of training data (such as ImageNet). However, due to hardware limitations and insufficient training datasets, high performance is not achieved. Therefore, in this work, the Transfer Learning method is used to improve the performance of the face-recognition system even for a smaller number of images. For this, two pre-trained models, namely, GoogLeNet CNN (in MATLAB) and FaceNet (in Python) are used. Transfer learning is used to perform fine-tuning on the last layer of CNN model for new classification tasks. FaceNet presents a unified system for face verification (is this the same person?), recognition (who is this person?) and clustering (finds common people among these faces) using the method based on learning a Euclidean embedding per image using a deep convolutional network.
