Toward responsible face datasets: modeling the distribution of a disentangled latent space for sampling face images from demographic groups

Sébastien Marcel, Parsa Rahimi Noshanagh, Christophe René Joseph Ecabert

Recently, it has been exposed that some modern facial recognition systems could discriminate specific demographic groups and may lead to unfair attention with respect to various facial attributes such as gender and origin. The main reason are the biases in ...

Model-based 3D Face Reconstruction

Christophe René Joseph Ecabert

The human face plays an essential role in social interactions as it brings information about someone's identity, state of mind, or mood. People are, by nature, very good at catching this non-spoken information. Therefore, scientists have been interested in ...

Face Frontalization for Cross-Pose Facial Expression Recognition

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Christophe René Joseph Ecabert, Hazim Kemal Ekenel, Deniz Engin

In this paper, we have explored the effect of pose normalization for cross-pose facial expression recognition. We have first presented an expression preserving face frontalization method. After face frontalization step, for facial expression representation ...

3D Spectral Nonrigid Registration of Facial Expression Scans

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Hazim Kemal Ekenel, Gabriel Louis Cuendet, Christophe René Joseph Ecabert, Marina Zimmermann

In this paper, we introduce a new template-based spectral nonrigid registration method in which the target is represented using multilevel partition of unity (MPU) implicit surfaces and the template is embedded in a discrete Laplace-Beltrami based spectral ...
