Large-Scale, Real-World Face Recognition in Movie

Plan of Attack

• Extract Facial Tracks from videos• Extract the features from the facial tracks.• Build framework to load and test data.• Begin with baseline testing (Sparse, min,

mean, etc)• Algorithm development…

• Unknowns

• Facial Expressions

Variations

• Pose

• Occlusions

Preliminary Testing

• Ran SRC facial recognition on extracted facial tracks from Date Night.

• Choose the name that has the most “votes” in the track.

• Looking strictly at Steve Carell and Tina Fey tracks…

Results

• Correctly assessed 15 out of 34 face tracks correctly (44.12% accuracy).

• 6 out of 18 Tina Fey face tracks (33.33% accuracy).

• 9 out of 16 Steve Carell face tracks (56.25% accuracy).

Correct Result

• Track 7- IDed CORRECTLY as: Tina Feyo Alyssa Milano had 2 voteso Drew Barrymore had 4 voteso Jennifer Love Hewitt had 1 voteso Salma Hayek had 3 voteso Tina Fey had 22 votes

• 32 frames in this track

• 68.75% identified as Tina Fey

Correct Result

Correct Result

• Good facial crop.

• Many frames.

• Good lighting

• Non blurry

• Generally straightforward pose

• Dark lighting

• Pose variation

• Motion blur toward the end

• 57 frames

What’s next?

• Continue to look at the coefficient vector.

• Look into confidence of each choice (SCI and residual error)

• Apply different facial recognition algorithms.

• Best way to choose a name for each track? (Mode, strongest confidence, etc.)
