Updates

Oct 13, 2016
- A demo for extracting deep feature by the given model is provided.
Oct 12, 2016
- The links of face model and features on LFW are available.
  model: google drive baidu skydrive
  feature: google drive baidu skydrive
- The training prototxt of toy example on MNIST are released.
Otc 9, 2016
- The code and training prototxt for our ECCV16 paper are released.
- If you train our Network on CAISA-WebFace, the expected verification performance of SINGLE MODEL on LFW should be ~99%.

Train_Model

The Installation completely the same as Caffe. Please follow the installation instructions. Make sure you have correctly installed before using our code.
Download the face dataset for training, e.g. CAISA-WebFace, VGG-Face, MS-Celeb-1M, MegaFace.
Preprocess the training face images, including detection, alignment, etc. Here we strongly recommend MTCNN, which is an effective and efficient open-source tool for face detection and alignment.
Creat list for training set and validation set. Place them in face_example/data/

Specify your data source for train & val

 layer {
   name: "data"
   type: "ImageData"
   top: "data"
   top: "label"
   image_data_param {
     source: "face_example/data/###your_list###"
   }
 }

Specify the number of subject in FC6 layer

 layer {
   name: "fc6"
   type: "InnerProduct"
   bottom: "fc5"
   top: "fc6"
   inner_product_param {
     num_output: ##number##
   }
 }

Specify the loss weight and the number of subject in center loss layer

 layer {
   name: "center_loss"
   type: "CenterLoss"
   bottom: "fc5"
   bottom: "label"
   top: "center_loss"
   loss_weight: ##weight##
   center_loss_param {
     num_output: ##number##
   }
 }

Train model

 cd $CAFFE-FACE_ROOT
 ./build/tools/caffe train -solver face_example/face_solver.prototxt -gpu X,Y

Extract_DeepFeature

Compile matcaffe by make matcaffe

Specify the correspinding paths in face_example/extractDeepFeature.m

 addpath('path_to_matCaffe/matlab');
 model = 'path_to_deploy/face_deploy.prototxt';
 weights = 'path_to_model/face_model.caffemodel';
 image = imread('path_to_image/Jennifer_Aniston_0016.jpg');

Run extractDeepFeature.m in Matlab

Caffe

Caffe is a deep learning framework made with expression, speed, and modularity in mind. It is developed by the Berkeley Vision and Learning Center (BVLC) and community contributors.

Check out the project site for all the details like

and step-by-step examples.

Please join the caffe-users group or gitter chat to ask questions and talk about methods and models. Framework development discussions and thorough bug reports are collected on Issues.

Happy brewing!
