Abstract:We propose an attention mechanism in deep learning networks for gender recognition using the gaze distribution of human observers when they judge the gender of people in pedestrian images. Prevalent attention mechanisms spatially compute the correlation among values of all cells in an input feature map to calculate attention weights. If a large bias in the background of pedestrian images (e.g., test samples and training samples containing different backgrounds) is present, the attention weights learned using t… Show more
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.
