Heterogeneous face recognition from facial sketches

Abstract

This paper presents a short summary of a dissertation thesis [1]. The thesis presents a novel approach named X-Bridge for image-to-sketch translation for automatic heterogeneous face recognition. X-Bridge is based on a conditional adversarial network with an additional reconstruction path and a shared-latent space assumption between the original and the reconstruction path. With these modifications, the results provided by X-Bridge overcome other tested state-of-the-art methods. Code is available at: https://github.com/YvanG/Cross-modal-Bridge.
