Abstract
Various facial recognition systems may benefit from appropriate use of computer systems. For example, certain face analysis systems may benefit from an all-in-one convolutional neural network that has been appropriately configured. A method can include obtaining an image of a face. The method can also include processing the image of the face using a first set of convolutional network layers configured to perform subject-independent tasks. The method can further include subsequently processing the image of the face using a second set of convolutional network layers configured to perform subject-dependent tasks. The second set of convolutional network layers can be integrated with the first set of convolutional network layers to form a single convolutional neural network. The method can additionally include outputting facial image detection results based on the processing and subsequent processing.
