用幻觉生成和姿态迁移,让低分辨率人脸也能精准定位关键点
Supervision-by-Hallucination-and-Transfer: A Weakly-Supervised Approach for Robust and Precise Facial Landmark Detection
- 通过幻觉网络从低清图恢复细节,生成高分辨特征
- 姿态迁移增强热图,使关键点定位误差降低15.6%
- 适合数据少、标注不准的实用场景
高精度人脸识别关键点检测依赖高分辨率深度特征表示。然而,低分辨率人脸图像或池化/步幅卷积导致的压缩会阻碍此类特征学习,从而降低检测精度。此外,训练数据不足和标注不精确进一步影响性能。为此,我们提出一种弱监督框架SHT(Supervision-by-Hallucination-and-Transfer),实现更鲁棒、更精确的关键点检测。SHT包含两个相互增强的新模块:双幻觉学习网络(DHLN)与面部姿态迁移网络(FPTN)。DHLN结合关键点检测与人脸幻觉任务,利用低分辨率输入恢复面部结构与局部细节,生成更有效的关键点热图。FPTN通过将人脸从一个姿态转换到另一个姿态,进一步优化由DHLN生成的热图与幻觉图像,提升关键点检测精度。据我们所知,这是首个探索通过融合人脸幻觉与姿态迁移实现弱监督关键点检测的研究。实验表明,该方法在人脸幻觉与关键点检测任务上均超越现有最佳技术。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
High-precision facial landmark detection (FLD) relies on high-resolution deep feature representations. However, low-resolution face images or the compression (via pooling or strided convolution) of originally high-resolution images hinder the learning of such features, thereby reducing FLD accuracy. Moreover, insufficient training data and imprecise annotations further degrade performance. To address these challenges, we propose a weakly-supervised framework called Supervision-by-Hallucination-and-Transfer (SHT) for more robust and precise FLD. SHT contains two novel mutually enhanced modules: Dual Hallucination Learning Network (DHLN) and Facial Pose Transfer Network (FPTN). By incorporating FLD and face hallucination tasks, DHLN is able to learn high-resolution representations with low-resolution inputs for recovering both facial structures and local details and generating more effective landmark heatmaps. Then, by transforming faces from one pose to another, FPTN can further improve landmark heatmaps and faces hallucinated by DHLN for detecting more accurate landmarks. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to explore weakly-supervised FLD by integrating face hallucination and facial pose transfer tasks. Experimental results of both face hallucination and FLD demonstrate that our method surpasses state-of-the-art techniques.
