AFIF4: Deep Gender Classification based on AdaBoost-based Fusion of Isolated Facial Features and Foggy Faces

TL;DR: In this paper, the combination of isolated facial components and a contextual feature called foggy face is used to train deep convolutional neural networks followed by an AdaBoost-based score fusion to infer the final gender class.
Proceedings ArticleDOI

When Color Constancy Goes Wrong: Correcting Improperly White-Balanced Images

TL;DR: This paper introduces a k-nearest neighbor strategy that is able to compute a nonlinear color mapping function to correct the image's colors and shows the method is highly effective and generalizes well to camera models not in the training set.
Journal ArticleDOI

11K Hands: Gender recognition and biometric identification using a large dataset of hand images

TL;DR: Zhang et al. as mentioned in this paper proposed a two-stream convolutional neural network (CNN) which accepts hand images as input and predicts gender information from these hand images, which is then used as a feature extractor to feed a set of support vector machine classifiers for biometric identification.
Proceedings ArticleDOI

Deep White-Balance Editing

TL;DR: A deep neural network (DNN) architecture trained in an end-to-end manner to learn the correct white balance for sRGB images that are rendered with the incorrect white balance is introduced.
