    Abstract: This document relates to hybrid eye center localization using machine learning, namely cascaded regression and hand-crafted model fitting to improve a computer. There are proposed systems and methods of eye center (iris) detection using a cascade regressor (cascade of regression forests) as well as systems and methods for training a cascaded regressor. For detection, the eyes are detected using a facial feature alignment method. The robustness of localization is improved by using both advanced features and powerful regression machinery. Localization is made more accurate by adding a robust circle fitting post-processing step. Finally, using a simple hand-crafted method for eye center localization, there is provided a method to train the cascaded regressor without the need for manually annotated training data. Evaluation of the approach shows that it achieves state-of-the-art performance.

    Abstract: A system and method implement deep learning on a mobile device to provide a convolutional neural network (CNN) for real time processing of video, for example, to color hair. Images are processed using the CNN to define a respective hair matte of hair pixels. The respective object mattes may be used to determine which pixels to adjust when adjusting pixel values such as to change color, lighting, texture, etc. The CNN may comprise a (pre-trained) network for image classification adapted to produce the segmentation mask. The CNN may be trained for image segmentation (e.g. using coarse segmentation data) to minimize a mask-image gradient consistency loss. The CNN may further use skip connections between corresponding layers of an encoder stage and a decoder stage where shallower layers in the encoder, which contain high-res but weak features are combined with low resolution but powerful features from deeper decoder layers.
