Abstract

En 中文
Localizing faces in images is a difficult task, and represents the first step towards the solution of the face recognition problem. Moreover, devising an effective face detection method can provide some suggestions to solve similar object and pattern detection problems. This paper presents a novel approach to the solution of the face localization problem using Recursive neural networks (RNNs). The proposed method assumes a graph-based representation of images that combines structural and symbolic visual features. Such graphs are then processed by RNNs, in order to establish the possible presence and the position of faces inside the image. A novel RNN model that can deal with graphs with labeled edges has been also exploited. Some experiments on snapshots from video sequences are reported, showing very promising results.
