Abstract

The detection of moving objects in a video sequence is an essential step in almost all the systems of vision by computer. However, because of the dynamic change in natural scenes, the detection of movement becomes a more difficult task. In this work, we propose a new method for the detection moving objects that is robust to shadows, noise and illumination changes. For this purpose, the detection phase of the proposed method is an adaptation of the MOG approach where the foreground is extracted by considering the HSV color space. To allow the method not to take shadows into consideration during the detection process, we developed a new shade removal technique based on a dynamic thresholding of detected pixels of the foreground. The calculation model of the threshold is established by two statistical analysis tools that take into account the degree of the shadow in the scene and the robustness to noise.  Experiments undertaken on a set of video sequences showed that the method put forward provides better results compared to existing methods that are limited to using static thresholds.

Abstract

Facial expression recognition (FER) represents one of the most prevalent forms of interpersonal communication, which contains rich emotional information. But it became even more challenging during the times of COVID, where face masks became a mandatory protection measure, leading to the challenge of occluded lower-face during facial expression recognition. In this study, deep convolutional neural network (DCNN) represents the core of both our full-face FER system and our masked face FER model. The focus was on incorporating knowledge distillation in transfer learning between a teacher model, which is the full-face FER DCNN, and the student model, which is the masked face FER DCNN via the combination of both the loss from the teacher soft-labels vs the student soft labels and the loss from the dataset hard-labels vs the student hard-labels. The teacher-student architecture used FER2013 and a masked customized version of FER2013 as datasets to generate an accuracy of 69% and 61% respectively. Therefore, the study proves that the process of knowledge distillation may be used as a way for transfer learning and enhancing accuracy as a regular DCNN model (student only) would result in 46% accuracy compared to our approach (61% accuracy).
