Analysing Soft Clothing Biometrics for Retrieval
نویسندگان
چکیده
Soft biometrics continues to attract research interest. Traditional body and face soft biometrics have been the main research focus and have been proven, by many researchers, to be usable for identification and retrieval. Also, soft biometrics have been shown to provide several advantages over classic biometrics, such as invariance to illumination and contrast. Other than body and face, little attention has focussed on semantic descriptions of an individual, including clothing attributes. Research has yet to concern clothing characteristics as a major or complementary set of biometric traits. In this paper, we analyse the reliability and significance of clothing information for retrieval purposes. We investigate and rate the viability of semantic clothing descriptions to retrieve a subject correctly, given a verbal description of their clothing.

Comparative Face Soft Biometrics for Human Identification
The recent growth in CCTV systems and the challenges of automatically identifying humans under the adverse visual conditions of surveillance have increased the interest in soft biometrics, which are physical attributes that can be used to describe people semantically. Soft biometrics enable human identification based on verbal descriptions, and they can be captured in conditions where it is imp...
متن کاملA Biometric Approach for Continuous User Authentication by Fusing Hard and Soft Traits
Most existing computer and network systems authenticate a user only at the initial login session. This could be a critical security weakness, especially for high-security systems because it enables an impostor to access the system resources with the initial access permission. To address this security flaw, Continuous authentication of the user is necessary, to continuously monitors and authenti...
متن کاملPerson Re-identification in Appearance Impaired Scenarios
Person re-identification is critical in surveillance applications. Current approaches rely on appearance-based features extracted from a single or multiple shots of the target and candidate matches. These approaches are at a disadvantage when trying to distinguish between candidates dressed in similar colors or when targets change their clothing. In this paper we propose a dynamics-based featur...
متن کاملAnalysing comparative soft biometrics from crowdsourced annotations
Soft biometrics enable human description and identification from low quality surveillance footage. This paper premises the design, collection and analysis of a novel crowdsourced dataset of comparative soft biometric body annotations, obtained from a richly diverse set of human annotators. We annotate 100 subject images to provide a coherent, in-depth appraisal of the collected annotations and ...
متن کاملCurriculum Learning of Visual Attribute Clusters for Multi-Task Classification
Visual attributes, from simple objects (e.g., backpacks, hats) to soft-biometrics (e.g., gender, height, clothing) have proven to be a powerful representational approach for many applications such as image description and human identification. In this paper, we introduce a novel method to combine the advantages of both multi-task and curriculum learning in a visual attribute classification fram...
