Analyzing Some Efficient Deep Learners for Face Pose Estimation

An efficient face recognition system is essential for security and authentication-based applications. However, realtime face recognition systems have a few significant concerns, including face pose orientations. In the last decade, numerous solutions have been introduced to estimate distinct face pose orientations. Nevertheless, these solutions still need to be adequately addressed for the three main face pose orientations: Yaw, Pitch, and Roll. This paper proposed a novel deep transfer learning-based multitasking approach for solving three integrated tasks, i.e., face detection, landmarks detection, and face pose estimation. The face poses variation vulnerability has been intensely investigated here underlying three modules: image preprocessing, feature extraction module through deep transfer learning, and regression module for estimating the face poses. The experiments are performed on the well-known benchmark dataset Annotated Faces in the Wild (AFW). We evaluate the outcomes of the experiments to reveal that our proposed approach is superior to other recently available solutions.
