Face recognition with sunglasses/glasses

[Fede Ruiz]

Hey. I'm developing  a project that's using two open source face recognition apis: Openface and OpenBR. In my experience, Openface is pretty good at handling sunglasses/glasses while OpenBR is substantially less accurate if people are wearing glasses, and useless if they're wearing sunglasses. I'm planning on adding a third api to make the recognition more robust. How does BOB do with sunglasses, glasses and facial occlusions in general?

Thanks for answering.

Hi

you may refer to this book chapter

http://publications.idiap.ch/index.php/publications/show/3313

with the Bob satellite package https://pypi.python.org/pypi/bob.chapter.FRICE to re-run the experiments

that is using the Bob face recognition routines https://pythonhosted.org/bob.bio.face/ 

The book chapter compares different algorithms on multiple datasets under different factors such as illumination, pose, expression and occlusion (in particular sunglasses).

Enjoy !
