  • 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.

Train_Model

1. The Installation completely the same as Caffe. Please follow the installation instructions. Make sure you have correctly installed before using our code.

2. Download the face dataset for training, e.g. CAISA-WebFace, VGG-Face, MS-Celeb-1M, MegaFace.

3. 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.

4. Creat list for training set and validation set. Place them in face_example/data/

5. 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###"
      }
    }
   

6. Specify the number of subject in FC6 layer

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

7. 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##
      }
    }
   

8. Train model

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

Extract_DeepFeature

1. Compile matcaffe by make matcaffe

2. 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');
   

3. Run extractDeepFeature.m in Matlab
