Memetically Optimized MCWLD for Matching Sketches With Digital Face Images

TLDR
An automated algorithm to extract discriminating information from local regions of both sketches and digital face images is presented and yields better identification performance compared to existing face recognition algorithms and two commercial face recognition systems.
Abstract
One of the important cues in solving crimes and apprehending criminals is matching sketches with digital face images. This paper presents an automated algorithm to extract discriminating information from local regions of both sketches and digital face images. Structural information along with minute details present in local facial regions are encoded using multiscale circular Weber's local descriptor. Further, an evolutionary memetic optimization algorithm is proposed to assign optimal weight to every local facial region to boost the identification performance. Since forensic sketches or digital face images can be of poor quality, a preprocessing technique is used to enhance the quality of images and improve the identification performance. Comprehensive experimental evaluation on different sketch databases show that the proposed algorithm yields better identification performance compared to existing face recognition algorithms and two commercial face recognition systems.

Face Sketch Colorization via Supervised GANs

TL;DR: The proposed image to image transformation model reduces the modality gap of the sketch images and color photos resulting in higher identification accuracies and images with better visual quality than the ground truth sketch images.

Forensic sketch recognition using user specific facial region

TL;DR: A sketch to mug-shot matching approach called difference vector-based matching DVBM, which utilises deviations present in facial regions to measure the similarity between a sketch and a mug-shots image, is suggested.

Heterogeneous Face Matching Using Robust Binary Pattern of Local Quotient: RBPLQ

TL;DR: This paper proposes a robust binary scheme for representing and matching near-infrared (NIR)–visible (VIS) and sketch–photo heterogeneous faces and it is termed as robust binary pattern of local quotient (RBPLQ), which provides illumination-invariant and noise-resistant features in coarse level.

Method of matching a sketch image to a face image

TL;DR: In this article, the performance of automated facial forensic sketch matching is improved by learning from examples of facial forgetting over time, which enables a model to systematically "unforget" facial details.

Distinctive Image Features from Scale-Invariant Keypoints

TL;DR: This paper presents a method for extracting distinctive invariant features from images that can be used to perform reliable matching between different views of an object or scene and can robustly identify objects among clutter and occlusion while achieving near real-time performance.

Distinctive Image Features from Scale-Invariant Keypoints

TL;DR: The Scale-Invariant Feature Transform (or SIFT) algorithm is a highly robust method to extract and consequently match distinctive invariant features from images that can then be used to reliably match objects in diering images.

Ten Lectures on Wavelets

TL;DR: In this article, the regularity of compactly supported wavelets and symmetry of wavelet bases are discussed. But the authors focus on the orthonormal bases of wavelets, rather than the continuous wavelet transform.
