Abstract

Deep feature is widely applied in many fields such as image retrieval, image classification, face verification, etc. All the post-processing methods using deep feature make some assumptions about feature distribution. However, in most situations, features do not follow the hypothesised distribution approximately. In this paper, we focus on face-verification applications which also suffer from these problems. We propose an up-sample method called IUSM to alleviate the problems caused by biased samples. Additionally, by analyzing the Joint Bayesian model theoretically and practically, we propose a feature fusion method called LFF which utilizes the distribution properties of Joint Bayesian. Based on IUSM, the face verification accuracy of biased data is improved by 6 % while generalization ability of convolution network is not crippled. On the widely used Labeled Face in the Wild(LFW) dataset, LFF method can slightly improve the accuracy 0.15 % while the baseline accuracy is more than 97.51 %. We also argue that LFF can improve each deep face verification algorithm which uses Joint Bayesian model due to LFF’s linear combination of features.
