Abstract Video-based face recognition (FR) is a challenging task in real-world applications. In still-to-video FR, probe facial regions of interest (ROIs) are typically captured with lower-quality video cameras under unconstrained conditions, where facial appearances vary according to pose, illumination, scale, expression, etc. These video ROIs are typically compared against facial models designed with high-quality reference still ROI of each target individual enrolled to the system. In this paper, an efficient Canonical Face Representation CNN (CFR-CNN) is proposed for accurate still-to-video FR from a single sample per person, where still and video ROIs are captured in different conditions. Given a facial ROI captured under unconstrained video conditions, the CRF-CNN reconstructs it as a high-quality canonical ROI for matching that corresponds to the conditons of reference still ROIs (e.g., well-illuminated, sharp, frontal views with neutral expression). A deep autoencoder network is trained using a novel weighted loss function that can robustly generate similar face embeddings for the same subjects. Then, during operations, those face embeddings belonging to pairs of still and video ROIs from a target individual are accurately matched using a fully-connected classification network. Experimental results obtained with the COX Face and Chokepoint datasets indicate that the proposed CFR-CNN can achieve convincing level of accuracy. The computational complexity (number of operations, network parameters and layers) is significantly lower than state-of-the-art CNNs for video FR, and suggests that the CFR-CNN represents a cost-effective solution for real-time applications.
