Output: whether the input image is that of the claimed person (0/1 binary classification)
e.g. passport/face match in airport and use face to unlock mobile phone
Face Recognition (1:K Matching):
Has a database of K persons
Input: image (a person’s face)
Output:
ID if the image is any of the K persons
or “not recognized”
1. FaceNet Introduction
FaceNet learns a neural network that encodes a face image into a output vector of 128 numbers.
The network architecture follows the Inception model, uses 160x160 dimensional RGB images as its input
and uses a 128-neuron fully connected layer as its last layer, the model ensures that the output is an encoding vector of size 128.
By comparing two such vectors and computing the distance dist(encode(img1),encode(img2)), you can then determine if two pictures are of the same person.
Model Training and Triplets Loss
Training will use triplets of images (A,P,N) :
A is an “Anchor” image–a picture of a person.
P is a “Positive” image–a picture of the same person as the Anchor image.
N is a “Negative” image–a picture of a different person than the Anchor image.
For an image x, its encoding is denoted as f(x), where f is the Encoding Function computed by the Neural Network, to fit a good encoding, we want:
minimize encoding distance of the same person
minimize d(A,P)
maximize encoding distance of different persons
minimize -d(A,N)
make sure that an image A of an individual is closer to the Positive P than to the Negative image N by at least a margin $\alpha$
deftriplet_loss(y_true,y_pred,alpha=0.2):"""
Implementation of the triplet loss
Arguments:
y_true -- true labels, required when you define a loss in Keras, you don't need it in this function.
y_pred -- python list containing three objects:
anchor -- the encodings for the anchor images, of shape (None, 128)
positive -- the encodings for the positive images, of shape (None, 128)
negative -- the encodings for the negative images, of shape (None, 128)
Returns:
loss -- real number, value of the loss
