Abstract

In this work, we have proposed an Augmented Linear Discriminant Analysis (ALDA) approach to identify identical twins. It learns a common subspace that not only can identify from which family the individual comes, but also can distinguish between individuals within the same family. We evaluate the ALDA against the traditional LDA approach for subspace learning on the Notre Dame twin database. We have shown that the proposed ALDA method with the aid of facial asymmetry features significantly outperforms other well-established facial descriptors (LBP, LTP, LTrP), and the ALDA subspace method does a much better job in distinguishing identical twins than LDA. We are able to achieve 48.50% VR at 0.1% FAR for identifying family membership of identical twin individuals in the crowd and an averaged 82.58% VR at 0.1% FAR for verifying identical twin individuals within the same family, a significant improvement over traditional descriptors and traditional LDA method.
