Description
Résumé:Security inspection aims to improve the high detection rate as well as reduce the false alarm rate. However, it still suffers from two challenges affecting its robustness. 1) Existing security inspection methods are mostly designed for natural images, which cannot reflect the uniqueness and imaging principle of THz images. 2) Existing methods is sensitive to noise interference and pose variations. This work revisits these challenges and presents a novel symmetry driven Siamese network (SDSN) for THz concealed object verification. Our idea is to employ a specially designed network architecture for THz concealed object verification. First, to reflect the uniqueness and the special property of THz images, Siamese network with Contrastive loss is used for feature extraction along with symmetrical prior information consideration, which can learn symmetrical metrics from the same person. Second, to alleviate the impact of noise interference and pose variations, the adaptive identity normalization (A-IDN) is proposed to normalize the symmetrical metrics each person. Finally, to enhance the generalization of network, an adaptive selective threshold based on Gaussian mixture model (AST-GMM) is designed, which serves as a classifier for the final classification results. Extensive experiments show that SDSN significantly improves the accuracy. Specially, SDSN outperforms the state-of-the-art methods without symmetrical prior information on THz security dataset
