Abstract Scale variation is a major challenge in multi-person pose estimation. In scenes where persons are present at various distances, models tend to perform better on larger-scale persons, while the performance for smaller-scale persons often falls short of expectations. Therefore, effectively balancing the persons of different scales poses a significant challenge. So this paper proposes a new multi-person pose estimation model called FSA Net to improve the model’s performance in complex scenes. Our model utilizes High-Resolution Network (HRNet) as the backbone and feeds the outputs of the last stage’s four branches into the DCB module. The More >

Abstract Now object detection based on deep learning tries different strategies. It uses fewer data training networks to achieve the effect of large dataset training. However, the existing methods usually do not achieve the balance between network parameters and training data. It makes the information provided by a small amount of picture data insufficient to optimize model parameters, resulting in unsatisfactory detection results. To improve the accuracy of few shot object detection, this paper proposes a network based on the transformer and high-resolution feature extraction (THR). High-resolution feature extraction maintains the resolution representation of the image. More >

Abstract To generate realistic three-dimensional animation of virtual character, capturing real facial expression is the primary task. Due to diverse facial expressions and complex background, facial landmarks recognized by existing strategies have the problem of deviations and low accuracy. Therefore, a method for facial expression capture based on two-stage neural network is proposed in this paper which takes advantage of improved multi-task cascaded convolutional networks (MTCNN) and high-resolution network. Firstly, the convolution operation of traditional MTCNN is improved. The face information in the input image is quickly filtered by feature fusion in the first stage and… More >
