Deep Heterogeneous Face Recognition Networks Based on Cross-Modal Distillation and an Equitable Distance Metric
2017
2017 IEEE Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition Workshops (CVPRW)
In this work we present three methods to improve a deep convolutional neural network approach to near-infrared heterogeneous face recognition. ...
We present the results of experiments of these methods on two widely used near-infrared heterogeneous face recognition datasets and compare them to the state-of-the-art. ...
In this work, we focus on near-infrared (NIR) heterogeneous face recognition. ...
