One-Frame Calibration with Siamese Network in Facial Action Unit Recognition

תקציר מקורי באנגליתarXiv:2409.00240v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Automatic facial action unit (AU) recognition is used widely in facial expression analysis. Most existing AU recognition systems aim for cross-participant non-calibrated generalization (NCG) to unseen faces without further calibration. However, due to the diversity of facial attributes across different identities, accurately inferring AU activation from single images of an unseen face is sometimes infeasible, even for human experts -- it is crucial to first understand how the face appears in its neutral expression, or significant bias may be incurred. Therefore, we propose to perform one-frame calibration (OFC) in AU recognition: for each face, a single image of its neutral expression is used as the reference image for calibration.
