Face Recognition: Primates in the Wild

Understand

We present a new method of primate face recognition, and evaluate this method on several endangered primates, including golden monkeys, lemurs, and chimpanzees.

• The three datasets contain a total of 11,637 images of 280 individual primates from 14 species.
• Primate face recognition performance is evaluated using two existing state-of-the-art open-source systems, (i) FaceNet and (ii) SphereFace, (iii) a lemur face recognition system from literature, and (iv) our new convolutional neural network (CNN) architecture called PrimNet.
• Three recognition scenarios are considered: verification (1:1 comparison), and both open-set and closed-set identification (1:N search).
