Face recognition is a key task of computer vision research that has been employed in various security and surveillance applications. Recently, the importance of this task has risen with the improvements in the quality of sensors of cameras, as well as with the increasing coverage of camera networks setup everywhere in the cities. Moreover, biometry-based technologies have been developed for the last three decades and have been available on many devices such as the mobile phones. The goal is to identify people based on specific physiological landmarks. Faces are one of the most commonly utilized landmarks, due to the fact that facial recognition systems do not require any voluntary actions such as placing hands or fingers on a sensor, unlike the other bio-metric methods. In order to inhibit cyber-crimes and identity theft, the development of effective methods is necessary. In this paper, we address the face recognition problem by matching any face image visually with previously captured ones. Firstly, considering the challenges due to optical artifacts and environmental factors such as illumination changes and low resolution, in this paper, we deal with these problems by using convolutional neural networks (CNN) with state-of-the-art architecture, ResNet. Secondly, we make use of a large amount of data consisting of face images and train these networks with the help of our proposed loss function. Application of CNNs was proven to be effective in visual recognition compared to the traditional methods based on hand-crafted features. In this work, we further improve the performance by introducing a novel training policy, which utilizes quadruplet pairs. In order to ameliorate the learning process, we exploit several methods for generating quadruplet pairs from the dataset and define a new loss function corresponding to the generation policy. With the help of the proposed selection methods, we obtain improvement in classification accuracy, recall, and normalized mutual information. Finally, we report results for the end-to-end system for face recognition, performing both detection and classification.

Face recognition using Eigenfaces and neural networks Akalın, Volkan; Severcan, Mete; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2003) A face authentication system based on principal component analysis and neural networks is developed in this thesis. The system consists of three stages; preprocessing, principal component analysis, and recognition. In preprocessing stage, normalization illumination, and head orientation were done. Principal component analysis is applied to find the aspects of face which are important for identification. Eigenvectors and eigenfaces are calculated from the initial face image set. New faces are projected onto ...
Automated learning rate search using batch-level cross-validation Kabakcı, Duygu; Akbaş, Emre; Department of Computer Engineering (2019) Deep convolutional neural networks are being widely used in computer vision tasks, such as object recognition and detection, image segmentation and face recognition, with a variety of architectures. Deep learning researchers and practitioners have accumulated a significant amount of experience on training a wide variety of architectures on various datasets. However, given a specific network model and a dataset, obtaining the best model (i.e. the model giving the smallest test set error) while keeping the tr...
Attentive deep regression networks for real-time visual face tracking in video surveillance Alver, Safa; Halıcı, Uğur; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2019) Visual face tracking is one of the most important tasks in video surveillance systems. However, due to the variations in pose, scale, expression and illumination and the occlusions in cluttered scenes, it is considered to be a difficult task. To address these challenges, in this thesis, we propose an end-to-end tracker named Attentive Face Tracking Network (AFTN) that is build on top of the GOTURN tracker. Additionally, to overcome the scarce data problem in visual face tracking, we also provide bounding bo...
Evaluation of deep learning based multiple object trackers Moured, Omar; Akar, Gözde; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2020-9) Multiple object tracking (MOT) is a significant problem in the computer vision community due to its applications, including but not limited to, surveillance and emerging autonomous vehicles. The difficulties of this problem lie in several challenges, such as frequent occlusion, interaction, intra-class variations, in-and-out objects, etc. Recently, deep learning MOT methods confront these challenges effectively. State-of-the-art deep learning (DL) trackers pipeline consists of two stages, i.e., appearance h...
Human action recognition for various input characteristics using 3 dimensional residual networks Tüfekci, Gülin; Ulusoy, İlkay; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2019) Action recognition using deep neural networks is a far-reaching research area which has been commonly utilized in applications such as statistical analysis of human behavior, detecting abnormalities using surveillance cameras and robotic systems. Previous studies have been performing researches to propose new machine learning algorithms and deep network architectures to obtain higher recognition accuracy levels. Instead of suggesting a network resulting in small accuracy gain, this thesis focuses on evaluat...
