  1. Eye tracking to enhance facial recognition algorithms Balu Ramamurthy Brian Lewis December 15, 2011

  2. Introduction • Facial recognition is growing security concern • Best recognition algorithm is human brain • Wanted to find a way to use brain information in recognition • If we identify areas humans use to recognize faces, we can get unique results in algorithms

  3. Contents • Biometrics Background • Eye Tracking Experiment • Facial Recognition Experiment • Facial Recognition Results • Conclusion • Future Work

  4. Biometrics Background • 2 types of biometrics, identification and verification • Verification consists of confirming an identity • Identity comes from selecting correct person from a group of candidates • Current algorithms use features extracted from images

  5. Eye Tracking Experiment • Used 10 males and 10 females • Ran identification and verification experiments • Females much better at identifying faces • Conducted identification and verification experiments

  6. Verification Experiment • 2 Normalized faces shown to participant • Participant asked to say if same person or different person

  7. Identification Experiment • Participant looks at image of face for as long as needed. • Then shown 2 by 3 grid of normalized faces to identify correct face

  8. EyetrackingHeatmap

  9. Facial Recognition Procedure • Each correct image broken up in to 7 by 7 grid • Percentage of fixations for each block extracted.

  10. Facial Recognition Experiment • Experiment 1 gave each block equal distribution • Experiment 2 blocks weighted 0-3 with equal number of blocks in each weight • Experiment 3 blocks given weights of 0-4 based on fixation percentages • Experiment 4 only blocks of 100% fixation were used in algorithms

  11. Facial Recognition Results

  12. Conclusion • No significant recognition rate improvement • Blocks with 100% fixation account for 50% of accuracy • Trial and error in experiments 3 and 4 give hope for future work

  13. Future Work • Develop algorithm to properly weight boxes • Look at using new tasks for eye tracking • Try new facial recognition algorithms on data • Run experiments using specific facial regions
