Fuzzy Analysis and Deep Convolution Neural Networks in Still-to-video Recognition

Аннотация

We discuss the video classification problem with the matching of feature vectors extracted using deep convolutional neural networks from each frame. We propose the novel recognition method based on representation of each frame as a sequence of fuzzy sets of reference classes whose degrees of membership are defined based on asymptotic distribution of the Kullback–Leibler information divergence and its relation with the maximum likelihood method. In order to increase the classification accuracy, we perform the fuzzy intersection (product triangular norms) of these sets. Experimental study with YTF (YouTube Faces) and IJB-A (IARPA Janus Benchmark A) video datasets and VGGFace, ResFace and LightCNN descriptors shows that the proposed approach allows us to increase the accuracy of recognition by 2–6% comparing with the known classification methods.
