Abstract
A method for face image recognition is disclosed. The method comprises generating one or more face region pairs of face images to be compared and recognized; forming a plurality of feature modes by exchanging the two face regions of each face region pair and horizontally flipping each face region of each face region pair; receiving, by one or more convolutional neural networks, the plurality of feature modes, each of which forms a plurality of input maps in the convolutional neural network; extracting, by the one or more convolutional neural networks, relational features from the input maps, which reflect identity similarities of the face images; and recognizing whether the compared face images belong to the same identity based on the extracted relational features of the face images. In addition, a system for face image recognition is also disclosed.
