1 Introduction

Kinship Verification and Deep learning topics have raised the computer vision community to new heights and is
encouraging the enthusiasts to dig in the matter a little more every time , significantly improving and incorporating
new ideas thereby promising good results in ongoing and future works. One of the key feature or raw data for such
research works is availability of large datasets. Some benchmarking datasets were also made which were tested
against metric learning frame works i.e. DML based algorithm (DAE) [1]. A number of ideas were combined and
developed kinship verification and showed some good results, including: using deep CNN and large datasets[2]
which proposed a procedure for creation of large datasets requiring limited amount of manual power , video-based
kinship verification [3] which presents a video face dataset that is KFVW to evaluate and compare the performance
of several on going metric learning methods which proved out to be not so good as that of human power. While
some researchers used Siamese architecture specific constraints[4] to train system and used CNN on KINFaceW-I &
II face datasets that showed favourable results. In past studies, kinship verification using deep CNNs through facial
image analysis[5] have been proposed, according to which, the model generates high-level features which were
related to key factors and enhances the state-of-the-art performance at large level as compared to human
performance. Recently, a large multi-metric learning method[6] for faced verification , which jointly learns multiple
distance metrics taking one for each feature descriptor and by collaborating , optimizes the objective function.
Inspired by the psychological and biological studies, kinship verification was approached from spatio- temporal
angle[7] in deep learning which was investigated from face video sequences. Further, kinship verification are not
limited to single feature extraction methods. Recent study shows the measurement on face images by fusing
structured similarity criterions[8] i.e. multiple sparse bilinear joining sparsity-inducing norms.
