Multi-scale aware dual path network for face detection in resource-constrained edge computing environment by Qi QI, Yingxin MA, Jingyu WANG, Haifeng SUN, Jianxin LIAO

“…Aiming at the problem that face detectors with complex deep neural structures are difficult to deploy in the resource-constrained edge computing environment,to reduce the resource consumption while maintain the accuracy in complex scenes such as multi-scale face changes,occlusion,blur,and illumination,SDPN(multi-scale aware dual path network) for face detection was proposed.The Face-ResNet (face residual neural network) was improved,and a dual path shallow feature extractor was used to understand the multi-scale information of the image through parallel branches.Then the deep and shallow feature fusion module,a combination of the underlying image information and the high-level semantic feature,was used in conjunction with the multi-scale awareness training strategy to supervise the multi-branch learning discriminating features.The experimental results show that SDPN can extract more diversified features,which effectively improve the accuracy and robustness of face detection while maintaining the efficiency of the model and low inference delay.…”

Cascaded algorithm for background modeling using pixel-based and block-based methods by Wen-hua XIE, Ben-shun YI, Jin-sheng XIAO, Liang-cai GAN

“…Block-based background modeling couldn't obtain the exact shape of foreground,while pixel-based approaches couldn't handle non-stationary backgrounds effectively.To solve the problem,a hierarchical scheme for background modeling was presented.The hierarchical model used block-based method proposed to obtain coarse background and foreground regions firstly,and then the operations of pixel-level foreground refining and model updating based on Gaussian mixture model were performed on special regions of the input image.These two algorithms in different levels were combined by adopting an asymmetric feed-forward strategy.Experimental results show that the hierarchical method proposed can obtain the exact shape of foreground and process non-stationary scenes well,in addition,it is insensitive to illumination change and can provide better results than any single approach in it,meanwhile,the integrated computation time is shorter than the sum of those of running the block and pixel-level methods,and satisfies real-time processing.…”
