Relaxed Spatio-Temporal Deep Feature Aggregation for Real-Fake Expression Prediction
Frame-level visual features are generally aggregated in time with the
techniques such as LSTM, Fisher Vectors, NetVLAD etc. to produce a robust
video-level representation. We here introduce a learnable aggregation technique
whose primary objective is to retain short-time temporal structure between
frame-level features and their spatial interdependencies in the representation.
Also, it can be easily adapted to the cases where there have very scarce
training samples. We evaluate the method on a real-fake expression prediction
dataset to demonstrate its superiority. Our method obtains 65% score on the
test dataset in the official MAP evaluation and there is only one misclassified
decision with the best reported result in the Chalearn Challenge (i.e. 66:7%) .
Lastly, we believe that this method can be extended to different problems such
as action/event recognition in future.Comment: Submitted to International Conference on Computer Vision Workshop
Video Synthesis from the StyleGAN Latent Space
Generative models have shown impressive results in generating synthetic images. However, video synthesis is still difficult to achieve, even for these generative models. The best videos that generative models can currently create are a few seconds long, distorted, and low resolution. For this project, I propose and implement a model to synthesize videos at 1024x1024x32 resolution that include human facial expressions by using static images generated from a Generative Adversarial Network trained on the human facial images. To the best of my knowledge, this is the first work that generates realistic videos that are larger than 256x256 resolution from single starting images. This model improves the video synthesis in both quantitative and qualitative ways compared to two state-of-the-art models: TGAN and MocoGAN. In a quantitative comparison, this project reaches a best Average Content Distance (ACD) score of 0.167, as compared to 0.305 and 0.201 of TGAN and MocoGAN, respectively
