Popis: Heterogeneous face recognition is the problem of identifying a person from a face image acquired with a nontraditional sensor by matching it to a visible gallery. Most approaches to this problem involve modeling the relationship between corresponding images from the visible and sensing domains. This is typically done at the patch level and/or with shallow models with the aim to prevent overfitting. In this work, rather than modeling local patches or using a simple model, we propose to use a complex, deep model to learn the relationship between the entirety of cross-modal face images. We describe a deep convolutional neural network based method that leverages a large visible image face dataset to prevent overfitting. We present experimental results on two benchmark datasets showing its effectiveness.
