Abstract
Disclosed are a method and an apparatus for face verification. The apparatus comprises a feature extracting unit configured to extract HIFs (Hidden Identity Features) for different regions of faces by using differently trained ConvNets, wherein last hidden layer neuron activations of said ConvNets are considered as the HIFs. The apparatus further comprises a verification unit configured to concatenate the extracted HIFs of each of the faces to form a feature vector, and then compare two of the formed feature vectors to determine if they are from the same identity or not.
