- KonferenzbeitragAutomatic validation of ICAO compliance regarding head coverings: an inclusive approach concerning religious circumstances(BIOSIG 2023, 2023) Carla Guerra, João S. MarcosThis paper contributes with a dataset and an algorithm that automatically verifies the compliance with the ICAO requirements related to the use of head coverings on facial images used on machine-readable travel documents. All the methods found in the literature ignore that some coverings might be accepted because of religious or cultural reasons, and basically only look for the presence of hats/caps. Our approach specifically includes the religious cases and distinguishes the head coverings that might be considered compliant. We built a dataset composed by facial images of 500 identities to accommodate these type of accessories. That data was used to fine-tune and train a classification model based on the YOLOv8 framework and we achieved state of the art results with an accuracy of 99.1% and EER of 5.7%.
- KonferenzbeitragBenchmarking fixed-length Fingerprint Representations across different Embedding Sizes and Sensor Types(BIOSIG 2023, 2023) Tim Rohwedder, Daile Osorio RoigTraditional minutiae-based fingerprint representations consist of a variable-length set of minutiae. This necessitates a more complex comparison causing the drawback of high computational cost in one-to-many comparison. Recently, deep neural networks have been proposed to extract fixed-length embeddings from fingerprints. In this paper, we explore to what extent fingerprint texture information contained in such embeddings can be reduced in terms of dimension, while preserving high biometric performance. This is of particular interest, since it would allow to reduce the number of operations incurred at comparisons. We also study the impact in terms of recognition performance of the fingerprint textural information for two sensor types, i.e. optical and capacitive. Furthermore, the impact of rotation and translation of fingerprint images on the extraction of fingerprint embeddings is analysed. Experimental results conducted on a publicly available database reveal an optimal embedding size of 512 feature elements for the texture-based embedding part of fixed-length fingerprint representations. In addition, differences in performance between sensor types can be perceived. The source code of all experiments presented in this paper is publicly available at https://github.com/tim-rohwedder/fixed-length-fingerprint-extractors, so our work can be fully reproduced.
- KonferenzbeitragBig Data in a Crisis? Creating Social Media Datasets for Crisis Management Research(i-com: Vol. 15, No. 3, 2017) Reuter, Christian; Ludwig, Thomas; Kotthaus, Christoph; Kaufhold, Marc-André; Radziewski, Elmar von; Pipek, VolkmarA growing body of research in the area of information systems for crisis management is based on data from social media. After almost every larger disaster studies emerge with the focus on the specific use of social media. Much of this research is based on Twitter data, due to the ease of access of this (mainly public) data, compared to (more closed) data, such as Facebook or Google+. Based on the experience gained from a research project on social media in emergencies and our task to collect social media data sets for other partners, we present the design and evaluation of a graphical user interface that supports those stakeholders (such as emergency services or researchers) that are interested in creating social media datasets for further crisis management research. We do not specifically focus on the analysis of social media data. Rather we aim to support the gathering process and how actors without sophisticated technical skills can be supported to get what they want and especially need: relevant social media data. Within this article, we present a practice-oriented approach and implications for designing tools that support the collection of social media data as well as future work.
- KonferenzbeitragContactless Palmprint Recognition for Children(BIOSIG 2023, 2023) Akash M Godbole, Steven A GroszEffective distribution of nutritional and healthcare aid for children, particularly infants and toddlers, in the world’s least developed and most impoverished countries, is a major problem due to lack of reliable identification documents. We present a mobile based contactless palmprint recognition system, Child Palm-ID, which meets the requirements of usability, cost, and accuracy for child recognition. On a contactless child palmprint database, Child-PalmDB1, with 1,020 unique palms (age range of 6 mos. to 48 mos.), Child Palm-ID achieves a TAR=94.8% at FAR=0.1%. Child Palm-ID is also able to recognize adults, achieving a TAR=99.5% on the CASIA contactless palmprint database and a TAR=100% on the COEP contactless adult palmprint database, both at FAR=0.1%. For child palmprint images captured at an interval of five months with differences in standoff distance, illumination and motion blur, the TAR drops to 80.5% at FAR=0.1%. This indicates that more research remains in contactless child palmprint recognition.
- KonferenzbeitragGeneralizability and Application of the Skin Reflectance Estimate Based on Dichromatic Separation (SREDS)(BIOSIG 2023, 2023) Joseph A Drahos, Richard PleshFace recognition (FR) systems have become widely used and readily available in recent history. However, differential performance between certain demographics has been identified within popular FR models. Skin tone differences between demographics can be one of the factors contributing to the differential performance observed in face recognition models. Skin tone metrics provide an alternative to self-reported race labels when such labels are lacking or completely not available e.g. large-scale face recognition datasets. In this work, we provide a further analysis of the generalizability of the Skin Reflectance Estimate based on Dichromatic Separation (SREDS) against other skin tone metrics and provide a use case for substituting race labels for SREDS scores in a privacy-preserving learning solution. Our findings suggest that SREDS consistently creates a skin tone metric with lower variability within each subject and SREDS values can be utilized as an alternative to the self-reported race labels at minimal drop in performance. Finally, we provide a publicly available and open-source implementation of SREDS to help the research community. Available at https://github.com/JosephDrahos/SREDS
- KonferenzbeitragLVT Face Database: A benchmark database for visible and hidden face biometrics(BIOSIG 2023, 2023) Nélida Mirabet-Herranz, Jean-Luc DugelayAlthough the estimation of eHealth parameters from face visuals (images and videos) has grown as a major area of research in the past years, deep-learning-based models are still challenged by RGB lack of robustness, for instance with changing illumination conditions. As a means to overcome these limitations and to unlock new opportunities, thermal imagery has arisen as a favorable alternative to solidify different technologies such as heart rate estimation from faces. However, the reduced number of databases containing thermal imagery and the lack of health annotation of the subjects in them limits the exploration of this spectrum. Motivated by this, in this paper, we present our Label-EURECOM Visible and Thermal (LVT) Face Database for face biometrics. This database is the first that contains paired visible and thermal images and videos from 52 subjects with metadata of 22 soft biometrics and health parameters. Moreover, we establish the first study introducing the potential of thermal images for weight estimation from faces on our database.
- KonferenzbeitragUnified Face Image Quality Score based on ISO/IEC Quality Components(BIOSIG 2023, 2023) Praveen Kumar Chandaliya, Kiran RajaFace image quality assessment is crucial in the face enrolment process to obtain high-quality face images in the reference database. Neglecting quality control will adversely impact the accuracy and efficiency of face recognition systems, resulting in an image captured with poor perceptual quality. In this work, we present a holistic combination of $21$ component quality measures proposed in ``ISO/IEC CD 29794-5" and identify the varying nature of different measures across different datasets. The variance is seen across both capture-related and subject-related measures, which can be tedious for validating each component metric by a human observer when judging the quality of the enrolment image. Motivated by this observation, we propose an efficient method of combining quality components into one unified score using a simple supervised learning approach. The proposed approach for predicting face recognition performance based on the obtained unified face image quality assessment (FIQA) score was comprehensively evaluated using three datasets representing diverse quality factors. We extensively evaluate the proposed approach using the Error-vs-Discard Characteristic (EDC) and show its applicability using five different FRS. The evaluation indicates promising results of the proposed approach combining multiple component scores into a unified score for broader application in face image enrolment in FRS.
