Advanced Correlation Filters For Biometric Recognition
The use of correlation filters in biometric authentication has gained interest. These filters compare a given image (template) against a number of reference images (models) and identify the best match. In this work, we have extended the minimum average correlation energy (MACE) filter and evaluated its suitability for face verification. MACE is derived from a model called the minimum variance distortionless response. Further, we have also implemented a face verification (FRED) system based on the MACE filter for human face recognition in video data.
MACE is a new technique, specifically designed for recognition of faces within an image. MACE is a minimum variance discrimination filter that corresponds to the average energy of the correlation function over a filter kernel. MACE can be generalized to compute contrast templates over a region of interest and is applicable to a broad range of 2-D images that includes, but is not limited to, face recognition.
MACE differs from other correlation based methods in that it emphasizes the global 2-D nature of the template, and the small 2-D features along the angle that best represent the template.
Applying MACE to an image is very simple. MACE is based on model-based filtering [1]. It has several advantages over traditional recognition methods: Since MACE is based on a statistical model, it is flexible and robust to variations in lighting and image orientation. It achieves such robustness by modifying the contrast template in different regions of the template so that it is increasingly emphasized for faces and progressively less emphasized for other things.
Applications of MACE
In a recent paper [2], Lin et al., have utilized MACE for human face recognition. Their method uses a simple training set consisting of frontal and profile facial images and a corresponding image matrix of the same size, where each row in the matrix contains a frontal and profile image. From the training set, it is possible to extract a number of 2-D features along the angle, and a contrast template is computed. The contrast template is used for the verification of a face image that has not been in the training set. The image is projected along the axis perpendicular to the extracted features. This is done by forming the image matrix as a set of local windows. The local windows are grouped into regions along the angle and each region is accumulated to form the image.
In [3], MACE is used for pedestrian detection within an image.

Current Research at Carnegie Mellon:
In the Advanced Multimedia Processing Lab, we have been experimenting with various different biometric systems, in order to support the security of financial and user-based applications. In particular, our primary interest lies in face recognition. We also have developed a joint, interdisciplinary course called the Advanced Computer Vision Group. Here, the main theme is advanced image processing, which is built upon modern ideas in computer vision, artificial intelligence, computer graphics, and applied mathematics. Students can take the Course for a combination of intrinsic and extrinsic reasons, and are encouraged to apply what they learn to cutting-edge real-world problems in computer-aided design, computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM), inventory management, and face recognition. A key feature of this course is the implementation of popular algorithms in the hands-on, programming style. The students write programs in the "programming language for graphics". Students will therefore use this language as the underlying programming language, use C++ as an example, and will make use of graphics concepts as they develop their code. The programming language is basically a high-level language that has graphics operations to draw primitives on the screen, but provides the ability to define new graphics constructs.
At Carnegie Mellon, we have developed a unique, large database of faces, acquired at different times of day and under non-standard lighting conditions. The database is unique in being collected from real people and is fully searchable. A sample of faces can be viewed on our web page.
The basic idea behind one of our programs is that a certain feature extractor was trained using a large database of feature vectors extracted from faces. A feature vector is a vector-valued description of a given image. We need to extract features from a test face in order to match it with the training face that was used to train the system.
Face recognition can be thought of as a classification problem. A classifier assigns a label to each point in the space defined by the extracted features. We will illustrate how we can use a Probabilistic Neural Network to perform the classification. As an introduction to Neural Networks, we recommend the book Neural Networks for Pattern Recognition.
The course will focus on optimization, classification, and clustering. The course will use blackboard and will have on average of 30-40 students in the course.
