TL;DR: This survey provides a comprehensive overview of a variety of object detection methods in a systematic manner, covering the one-stage and two-stage detectors, and lists the traditional and new applications.
Abstract: Object detection is one of the most important and challenging branches of computer vision, which has been widely applied in people's life, such as monitoring security, autonomous driving and so on, with the purpose of locating instances of semantic objects of a certain class. With the rapid development of deep learning algorithms for detection tasks, the performance of object detectors has been greatly improved. In order to understand the main development status of object detection pipeline thoroughly and deeply, in this survey, we analyze the methods of existing typical detection models and describe the benchmark datasets at first. Afterwards and primarily, we provide a comprehensive overview of a variety of object detection methods in a systematic manner, covering the one-stage and two-stage detectors. Moreover, we list the traditional and new applications. Some representative branches of object detection are analyzed as well. Finally, we discuss the architecture of exploiting these object detection methods to build an effective and efficient system and point out a set of development trends to better follow the state-of-the-art algorithms and further research.

TL;DR: It is concluded that the problem of age-progression on face recognition (FR) is not unique to the algorithm used in this work, and the efficacy of this algorithm is evaluated against the variables of gender and racial origin.
Abstract: This paper details MORPH a longitudinal face database developed for researchers investigating all facets of adult age-progression, e.g. face modeling, photo-realistic animation, face recognition, etc. This database contributes to several active research areas, most notably face recognition, by providing: the largest set of publicly available longitudinal images; longitudinal spans from a few months to over twenty years; and, the inclusion of key physical parameters that affect aging appearance. The direct contribution of this data corpus for face recognition is highlighted in the evaluation of a standard face recognition algorithm, which illustrates the impact that age-progression, has on recognition rates. Assessment of the efficacy of this algorithm is evaluated against the variables of gender and racial origin. This work further concludes that the problem of age-progression on face recognition (FR) is not unique to the algorithm used in this work.

TL;DR: Cross-generating Generative Adversarial Network (CG-GAN) is proposed to generate rotated faces while extracting discriminative identity from face images and achieves state-of-the-art results.
Abstract: The large variations of pose and illumination have been the great challenges to face recognition for many years. Because of these variations, many classical recognition methods fail to work. The key to solve this problem is to extract identity feature from face images. In recent years, people have been concentrating on synthesizing rotated faces, however, neglected the form of facial identity representation. In this paper, we propose Cross-generating Generative Adversarial Network (CG-GAN) to generate rotated faces while extracting discriminative identity. CG-GAN is allowed to learn a network to exchange poses and illuminations of two different subjects' picture. Within the network, each input image is resolved into a variation code and a identity code at the representation layer; then these codes are randomly combined for generating corresponding pictures. Not only does CG-GAN synthesis vivid face under desired pose from one picture, but also the represention layer is very suitable for face recognition task. We train and test CG-GAN on the Multi-PIE dataset and achieve state-of-the-art results.

TL;DR: This paper proposes Task Specific Networks for the two representations with two novelties, which rotate and normalize face image to multi-pose view for one subtask, and learn face variation representations in an unsupervised way, which is more robust and more universal.
Abstract: Pose and illumination variations are considered as two main challenges that face recognition system encounters. Most existing methods perform face normalization, aiming at untangling identity representation from these variations to improve recognition accuracy. Taking into account face variation representations, this paper proposes Task Specific Networks for the two representations with two novelties. First, we rotate and normalize face image to multi-pose view for one subtask, and learn face variation representations for another. Second, we learn face variation representations in an unsupervised way, which is more robust and more universal. We couple these two representations in the part of reconstructing the original face, where the two representations effect and restrict each other. Extensive experiments demonstrate the superiority of our method in both learning representations and rotating non-frontal face image.

TL;DR: This study studies the vulnerabilities of a state-of-the-art face recognition system based on template reconstruction attack, and proposes a neighborly de-convolutional neural network (NbNet) to reconstruct face images from their deep templates.
Abstract: State-of-the-art face recognition systems are based on deep (convolutional) neural networks. Therefore, it is imperative to determine to what extent face templates derived from deep networks can be inverted to obtain the original face image. In this paper, we study the vulnerabilities of a state-of-the-art face recognition system based on template reconstruction attack. We propose a neighborly de-convolutional neural network (\textit{NbNet}) to reconstruct face images from their deep templates. In our experiments, we assumed that no knowledge about the target subject and the deep network are available. To train the \textit{NbNet} reconstruction models, we augmented two benchmark face datasets (VGG-Face and Multi-PIE) with a large collection of images synthesized using a face generator. The proposed reconstruction was evaluated using type-I (comparing the reconstructed images against the original face images used to generate the deep template) and type-II (comparing the reconstructed images against a different face image of the same subject) attacks. Given the images reconstructed from \textit{NbNets}, we show that for verification, we achieve TAR of 95.20\% (58.05\%) on LFW under type-I (type-II) attacks @ FAR of 0.1\%. Besides, 96.58\% (92.84\%) of the images reconstruction from templates of partition \textit{fa} (\textit{fb}) can be identified from partition \textit{fa} in color FERET. Our study demonstrates the need to secure deep templates in face recognition systems.
