A genetics-motivated unsupervised model for tri-subject kinship verification
Junkang Zhang, Siyu Xia, Hong Pan, A. Kai Qin · 2016
Given a child's and a couple's facial photos, tri-subject kinship verification aims to determine the existence of blood relation between the child and the couple. Different from existing methods which model the kinship inheritance process among three persons in separate stages and only use simple features, this work establishes a simple model inspired by genetics to measure tri-subject kinship similarity in one step. Meanwhile, high-dimensional features are incorporated into this simple model to seek for better performance. Experiment results demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach.
