Face Recognition at varying angles from distant CCTV Footage using Siamese Architecture

Face Recognition is a deeply studied and researched domain. There are quite large solutions and model architectures to tackle majority of the face recognition related concerns. In this work we come up with a more specific version of face recognition which can mainly be used to achieve long distance and natural limitations of CCTV identification in real world scenarios using existing methods to better modifications. The solution which paper proposes using deep learning can be used to recognise a person even if they wear face masks due to the Covid-19 pandemic. One-shot learning is incorporated which can be used to train the specific model with just one image per person of the individual to be recognized. The designed model is modified from Siamese network architecture trained in triplet loss function to achieve these requirements.
