• Title: Automated Detection of Cat Facial Landmarks
• Authors: George Martvel, Ilan Shimshoni and Anna Zamansky
• Abstract summary: We present a novel dataset of cat facial images annotated with bounding boxes and 48 facial landmarks grounded in cat facial anatomy. We introduce a landmark detection convolution neural network-based model which uses a magnifying ensembe method. Our model shows excellent performance on cat faces and is generalizable to human facial landmark detection.

• Abstract: The field of animal affective computing is rapidly emerging, and analysis of facial expressions is a crucial aspect. One of the most significant challenges that researchers in the field currently face is the scarcity of high-quality, comprehensive datasets that allow the development of models for facial expressions analysis. One of the possible approaches is the utilisation of facial landmarks, which has been shown for humans and animals. In this paper we present a novel dataset of cat facial images annotated with bounding boxes and 48 facial landmarks grounded in cat facial anatomy. We also introduce a landmark detection convolution neural network-based model which uses a magnifying ensembe method. Our model shows excellent performance on cat faces and is generalizable to human facial landmark detection.

  We describe the construction of a large-scale synthetic facial dataset along with a controlled facial forensic lineup. We evaluate the accuracy of two popular neural-based recognition systems. We find that previously reported face recognition accuracies of more than 95% drop to as low as 65% in this more challenging forensic scenario.

  We present the first of its kind detailed benchmark of face detection systems, specifically examining the robustness to noise of commercial and academic models. Across all the datasets and systems, we generally find that photos of individuals who are $textitmasculine presenting$, of $textitolder$, of $textitdarker skin type$, or have $textitdim lighting$ are more susceptible to errors than their counterparts in other identities.

  We investigate possible bias in the domain of face detection through facial region localization. Most existing face detection datasets lack suitable annotation for such analysis. We observe a high disparity in detection accuracies across gender and skin-tone, and interplay of confounding factors beyond demography.

  Occlusions often occur in face images in the wild, troubling face-related tasks such as landmark detection, 3D reconstruction, and face recognition. This paper proposes a novel face segmentation dataset with manually labeled face occlusions from the CelebA-HQ and the internet. We trained a straightforward face segmentation model but obtained SOTA performance, convincingly demonstrating the effectiveness of the proposed dataset.

Our main two findings are: Unsupervised pre-training on completely in-the-wild, uncurated data provides consistent and, in some cases, significant accuracy improvements.
