Abstract

Face recognition is an research topic of great importance in both the academia and industry, with a large number of applications based on this technology. Occluded face recognition is even more challenging when the whole face is not available. We find this problem has not been completely solved and is still a hot topic in recent years. Based on a real-world masked face dataset, we conduct a series of experiments with an aim of evaluating five advanced deep learning models and find that DenseNet performs the best with a test accuracy of 0.8012.
