Utility
Joint Upper-body and Face Detection Using Multi-task Cascaded Convolutional Networks
30 Dec 21
A videoconferencing endpoint is described that uses a cascading sequence of convolutional neural networks to perform face detection and upper body detection of participants in a videoconference at the endpoint, where at least one member of the sequence of neural networks performs upper body detection, and where the final member of the sequence of neural networks performs face detection based on the results of the upper body detection.
