  • Publication number: 20250191404
    Abstract: In a facial expression recognition method, facial key points are identified as graph nodes. A facial graph structure for a first image is constructed with edges between pairs of the graph nodes based on relationships between the facial key points corresponding to the graph nodes. A first feature of a facial texture is extracted from color information of pixels in the first image. A second feature of the first image is extracted by processing the facial graph structure using a graph neural network (GNN). The first feature and the second feature are combined, to obtain a fused feature. A first expression type of a face in the first image that corresponds to the fused feature is determined. The first expression type is determined from a plurality of facial expression types.

  • Patent number: 11854247
    Abstract: A computer device obtains a first face image (IMA) and a second face image (IFA). The device obtains M first image blocks corresponding to facial features from the first face image (IMA), and obtains N second image blocks corresponding to facial features from the second face image (IFA). The device transforms the M first image blocks and the N second image blocks to a feature space to generate M first feature blocks and N second feature blocks. The device selects a subset of the first feature blocks and a subset of the second feature blocks according to a specified control vector. The device generates a first composite feature map based the selected subset of the first feature blocks and the selected subset of the second feature blocks. The device inversely transforms the first composite feature map back to an image space to generate a third face image.

  • Patent number: 11853352
    Abstract: A method of establishing an image set for image recognition includes obtaining a single-label image set comprising an image annotated with a single label, and a multi-label image set comprising an image annotated with a plurality of labels; converting content of each label into a corresponding word identifier according to a semantic network, to obtain a word identifier set, a converted single-label image set, and a converted multi-label image set; and constructing a hierarchical semantic structure according to the word identifier set and the semantic network. The method also includes performing label supplementation on the image in the converted single-label image set to obtain a supplemented single-label image set; performing label supplementation on the supplemented single-label image set to obtain a final supplemented image set; and establishing a target multi-label image set to train an image recognition model by using the target multi-label image set.
