FACE RECOGNITION WITH LOW FALSE POSITIVE ERROR RATE

Abstract. Nowadays face recognition systems are widely used in the world. In China these systems are used in safe cities projects in production, in Russia they are used mostly in closed-loop systems like factories, business centers with biometric access control or stadiums. Closed loop means that we need to identify people from a fixed dataset: in factory it’s a list of employees, in stadium it’s a list of ticket owners. The most challenging task is to identify people from some large city with an open dataset: we don’t have a fixed set of people in the city, it’s rapidly changing due to migration. Another limit is the accuracy of the system: we can’t make a lot of false positive errors (when a person is incorrectly recognized as another person) because number of human operators is limited and they are expensive. We propose an approach to maximize face recognition accuracy for a fixed false positive error rate using limited amount of hardware.
