Fast Landmark Localization with 3D Component Reconstruction and CNN for Cross-Pose Recognition
Two approaches are proposed for cross-pose face recognition, one is based on
the 3D reconstruction of facial components and the other is based on the deep
Convolutional Neural Network (CNN). Unlike most 3D approaches that consider
holistic faces, the proposed approach considers 3D facial components. It
segments a 2D gallery face into components, reconstructs the 3D surface for
each component, and recognizes a probe face by component features. The
segmentation is based on the landmarks located by a hierarchical algorithm that
combines the Faster R-CNN for face detection and the Reduced Tree Structured
Model for landmark localization. The core part of the CNN-based approach is a
revised VGG network. We study the performances with different settings on the
training set, including the synthesized data from 3D reconstruction, the
real-life data from an in-the-wild database, and both types of data combined.
We investigate the performances of the network when it is employed as a
classifier or designed as a feature extractor. The two recognition approaches
and the fast landmark localization are evaluated in extensive experiments, and
compared to stateof-the-art methods to demonstrate their efficacy.Comment: 14 pages, 12 figures, 4 table
Driving Scene Perception Network: Real-time Joint Detection, Depth Estimation and Semantic Segmentation
As the demand for enabling high-level autonomous driving has increased in
recent years and visual perception is one of the critical features to enable
fully autonomous driving, in this paper, we introduce an efficient approach for
simultaneous object detection, depth estimation and pixel-level semantic
segmentation using a shared convolutional architecture. The proposed network
model, which we named Driving Scene Perception Network (DSPNet), uses
multi-level feature maps and multi-task learning to improve the accuracy and
efficiency of object detection, depth estimation and image segmentation tasks
from a single input image. Hence, the resulting network model uses less than
850 MiB of GPU memory and achieves 14.0 fps on NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 with a
1024x512 input image, and both precision and efficiency have been improved over
combination of single tasks.Comment: 9 pages, 7 figures, WACV'1
What Can Help Pedestrian Detection?
Aggregating extra features has been considered as an effective approach to
boost traditional pedestrian detection methods. However, there is still a lack
of studies on whether and how CNN-based pedestrian detectors can benefit from
these extra features. The first contribution of this paper is exploring this
issue by aggregating extra features into CNN-based pedestrian detection
framework. Through extensive experiments, we evaluate the effects of different
kinds of extra features quantitatively. Moreover, we propose a novel network
architecture, namely HyperLearner, to jointly learn pedestrian detection as
well as the given extra feature. By multi-task training, HyperLearner is able
to utilize the information of given features and improve detection performance
without extra inputs in inference. The experimental results on multiple
pedestrian benchmarks validate the effectiveness of the proposed HyperLearner.Comment: Accepted to IEEE International Conference on Computer Vision and
