Requirements

1. Caffe (see: Caffe installation instructions)

2. MTCNN (see: MTCNN - face detection & alignment)

Dataset

All faces in our dataset are detected by MTCNN and aligned by util.py. The structure of trainning dataset and testing dataset is shown below. Please note that the testing dataset have already be processed by detection and alignment, So you can reproduce our result directly by running our evaluating script.

Training Dataset

MS-Celeb-1M + Celeb-Seq

Testing Dataset

LFW @BaiduDrive, @GoogleDrive

YTF @BaiduDrive, @GoogleDrive

Testing Features

You can also use the precomputed feature instead of the testing dataset to evaluate our method.

LFW: @BaiduDrive, @GoogleDrive

YTF: @BaiduDrive, @GoogleDrive

Model-and-Result

We released our ResNet-27 model, which can be downloaded by the link below. The model was trained in caffe, please refer to our paper for the detailed training process.

Caffe: ResNet-27 @BaiduDrive, @GoogleDrive (non-commercial use only)

Performance:

Dataset	Model	Dataset	LFW	YTF
SeqFace	1 ResNet-27	MS-Celeb-1M + Celeb-Seq	99.80	98.00
SeqFace	1 ResNet-64	MS-Celeb-1M + Celeb-Seq	99.83	98.12

How-to-test

Refer to run.sh, which contains two parameters, the first one("mode") means the running mode you use("feature" or "model"), the other one("dataset") means the dataset you choose("LFW" or "YTF").

step 1: git clone https://github.com/ydwen/caffe-face.git

step 2: compile caffe

step 3: download model and testing dataset, then unzip them

step 4: run evaluate.py in LFW or YTF directory

You can try the command below to verify seqface of LFW dataset in feature mode.

./run.sh feature LFW

Example

The usage of LSR loss layer and DSA loss layer in train_val.prototxt:

layer {
    name: "lsro_loss"
    type: "LSROLoss"
    bottom: "fc6"
    bottom: "label000"
    top: "lsro_loss"
    loss_weight: @loss_weight
}

layer {
    name: "dsa_loss"
    type: "DSALoss"
    bottom: "fc5"
    bottom: "label000"
    top: "dsa_loss"
    param {
        lr_mult: 1
        decay_mult: 0
    }
    dsa_loss_param {
        faceid_num: @faceid_num
        seqid_num: @seqid_num
        center_filler {
            type: "xavier"
        }
        lambda: @lambda
        dropout_ratio: @dropout_ratio
        gamma: @gamma
        alpha: @alpha
        beta: @beta
        use_normalize: @use_normalize
        scale: @scale
    }
    loss_weight: @loss_weight
}
