A Dictionary Learning-based 3D Morphable Shape Model

Published in IEEE Transactions on Multimedia (TMM), 2017

In this paper, we propose a new approach for constructing a 3D morphable shape model (called DL-3DMM) including both identity and expression variations, which can reach the accuracy of deformation required in applications where fine details of the face are concerned.

Investigating Nuisances in DCNN-based Face Recognition

Published in IEEE Transactions on Image Processing (TIP), 2018

In this paper, we present a thorough analysis of several aspects that impact on the use of DCNN for face recognition. The evaluation has been carried out from two main perspectives: the network architecture and the similarity measures used to compare deeply learned features; and the data (source and quality) and their preprocessing (bounding box and alignment). The results obtained on the IARPA Janus Benchmark-A, MegaFace, UMDFaces, and YouTube Faces data sets indicate viable hints for designing, training, and testing DCNNs.

Sparse to dense dynamic 3d facial expression generation

Published in IEEE/CVF International Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (CVPR), 2022

In this paper, we propose a solution to the task of generating dynamic 3D facial expressions from a neutral 3D face and an expression label.

(Compress and Restore): a Robust Defense Against Adversarial Attacks on Image Classification

Published in ACM Transactions on Multimedia Computing Communications and Applications (TOMM), 2022

In this paper, we propose a conceptually simple yet robust solution to tackle adversarial attacks on image classification. Our defense works by first applying a JPEG compression with a random quality factor; compression artifacts are subsequently removed by means of a generative model (AR-GAN).

What makes you, you? Analyzing Recognition by Swapping Face Parts

Published in International Conference on Pattern Recognition (ICPR), 2022

In this paper, we propose to swap facial parts as a way to disentangle the recognition relevance of different face parts, like eyes, nose and mouth. In our method, swapping parts from a source face to a target one is performed by fitting a 3D prior, which establishes dense pixels correspondence between parts, while also handling pose differences.
