研究目的
To evaluate the potential and efficacy of lensless imaging systems for face detection and verification, and to demonstrate that these tasks can be performed with high accuracy using lensless cameras despite lower image quality.
研究成果
Lensless imaging systems like FlatCam can achieve reasonable accuracy in face detection and verification, making them suitable for applications with stringent size, weight, and cost constraints. Training on lensless-specific data (display-captured or simulated) is crucial for good performance. Despite a performance drop compared to lens-based cameras, the trade-off in cost and form-factor is attractive for many emerging applications. Future work could improve simulation accuracy and explore other inference tasks.
研究不足
The study is specific to the FlatCam lensless system and may not generalize to other lensless imagers. Lensless images have lower resolution, noise, and artifacts compared to lens-based images, leading to reduced performance in face detection and verification. The FCFD is a controlled dataset, which may not fully represent real-world variations. Simulation methods for training data have mismatches with actual lensless images.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study uses a lensless imaging system (FlatCam) to capture images, applies deep learning techniques (Faster R-CNN for face detection and a CNN for face verification) to account for lensless image characteristics.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
A dataset of 24,112 lensless images (FlatCam Face Dataset, FCFD) of 88 subjects with variations in lighting, expressions, angles, etc., is created. Standard datasets like FDDB and LFW are also used by displaying images on a screen and capturing with FlatCam.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
FlatCam prototype with a Point Grey Flea3 camera (e2v EV76C560 CMOS sensor), amplitude mask, Logitech C930e webcam for comparison, and computational tools for image reconstruction and deep learning.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Images are captured with FlatCam, reconstructed using a regularized least squares method, and processed through deep learning models trained on standard, display-captured, or simulated lensless images. Performance is evaluated on FCFD, FDDB, and LFW datasets.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
Performance metrics include ROC curves, true positive rates (TPR), false positive rates (FPR), and accuracy rates. Statistical analysis is conducted using provided evaluation codes and cross-validation.
