Abstract: A picture management method and device, a picture synchronization method and device are disclosed. The picture management method can be applied to a client device, and comprises: receiving picture tags generated by a server device performing an image analysis based on original picture features received by the server device, the original picture feature being an original picture itself or original picture parameter(s); and classifying and archiving the original pictures represented by the original picture features according to the picture tags.

Abstract: A deep learning framework jointly optimizes the compactness and discriminative ability of face representations. The compact representation can be as compact as 32 bits and still produce highly discriminative performance. In another aspect, based on the extreme compactness, traditional face analysis tasks (e.g. gender analysis) can be effectively solved by a Look-Up-Table approach given a large-scale face data set.

Abstract: The present invention overcomes the limitations of the prior art by performing facial landmark localization in a coarse-to-fine manner with a cascade of neural network levels, and enforcing geometric constraints for each of the neural network levels. In one approach, the neural network levels may be implemented with deep convolutional neural network. One aspect concerns a system for localizing landmarks on face images. The system includes an input for receiving a face image, and an output for presenting landmarks identified by the system. Neural network levels are coupled in a cascade from the input to the output for the system. Each neural network level produces an estimate of landmarks. The estimate of landmarks is more refined than an estimate of landmark of a previous neural network level.

Abstract: Face representation is a crucial step of face recognition systems. An optimal face representation should be discriminative, robust, compact, and very easy to implement. While numerous hand-crafted and learning-based representations have been proposed, considerable room for improvement is still present. A very easy-to-implement deep learning framework for face representation is presented. The framework bases on pyramid convolutional neural network (CNN). The pyramid CNN adopts a greedy-filter-and-down-sample operation, which enables the training procedure to be very fast and computation efficient. In addition, the structure of Pyramid CNN can naturally incorporate feature sharing across multi-scale face representations, increasing the discriminative ability of resulting representation.
