Systems and methods for dynamic facial analysis using a recurrent neural network

Abstract:

A method, computer readable medium, and system are disclosed for dynamic facial analysis. The method includes the steps of receiving video data representing a sequence of image frames including at least one head and extracting, by a neural network, spatial features comprising pitch, yaw, and roll angles of the at least one head from the video data. The method also includes the step of processing, by a recurrent neural network, the spatial features for two or more image frames in the sequence of image frames to produce head pose estimates for the at least one head.
