Deformable Part Models (DPMs) as introduced by Felzenszwalb et al. have shown remarkably good results for category-level object detection. In this paper, we explore whether they are also well suited for the related problem of category-level object pose estimation. To this end, we extend the original DPM so as to improve its accuracy in object category pose estimation and design novel and more effective learning strategies. We benchmark the methods using various publicly available data sets. Provided that the training data is sufficiently balanced and clean, our method outperforms the state-of-the-art.
Over the past few years, Presentation Attack Detection (PAD) has become a fundamental part of facial recognition systems. Although much effort has been devoted to anti-spoofing research, generalization in real scenarios remains a challenge. In this paper we present a new opensource evaluation framework to study the generalization capacity of face PAD methods, coined here as face-GPAD. This framework facilitates the creation of new protocols focused on the generalization problem establishing fair procedures of evaluation and comparison between PAD solutions. We also introduce a large aggregated and categorized dataset to address the problem of incompatibility between publicly available datasets. Finally, we propose a benchmark adding two novel evaluation protocols: one for measuring the effect introduced by the variations in face resolution, and the second for evaluating the influence of adversarial operating conditions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
