METHOD FOR RECOGNIZING FACE USING MULTIPLE PATCH COMBINATION BASED ON DEEP NEURAL NETWORK WITH FAULT TOLERANCE AND FLUCTUATION ROBUSTNESS IN EXTREME SITUATION

摘要

A method for face recognition by using a multiple patch combination based on a deep neural network is provided. The method includes steps of: a face-recognizing device, (a) if a face image with a 1-st size is acquired, inputting the face image into a feature extraction network, to allow the feature extraction network to generate a feature map by applying convolution operation to the face image with the 1-st size, and to generate multiple features by applying sliding-pooling operation to the feature map, wherein the feature extraction network has been learned to extract a feature using a face image for training having a 2-nd size and wherein the 2-nd size is smaller than the 1-st size; and (b) inputting the multiple features into a learned neural aggregation network, to allow the neural aggregation network to aggregate the multiple features and to output an optimal feature for the face recognition.
