Abstract

This paper proposes an integrated method to detect, align, and recognize human face focusing on maintaining its stability under partial occlusions. The proposed framework is based on the combination of three probabilistic models: face model, variation model, and background model. These probabilistic models are estimated by analyzing statistical distribution of local features from human face images and natural scene images. By combining three models, it is expected to achieve robustness to various local variations including partial occlusions. Through comparison with well-known face detection algorithm and a recent deep learning architecture, we confirm the robustness of proposed method in detection and recognition of occluded faces.
