Within the last 20 years, there has been an increasing interest in the computer vision community in automated facial image analysis algorithms. This has been driven by applications in animation, market research, autonomous-driving, surveillance, and facial editing among others. To date, there exist several commercial packages for specific facial image analysis tasks such as facial expression recognition, facial attribute analysis or face tracking. However, free and easy-to-use software that incorporates all these functionalities is unavailable. This paper presents IntraFace (IF), a publicly-available software package for automated facial feature tracking, head pose estimation, facial attribute recognition, and facial expression analysis from video. In addition, IFincludes a newly develop technique for unsupervised synchrony detection to discover correlated facial behavior between two or more persons, a relatively unexplored problem in facial image analysis. In tests, IF achieved state-of-the-art results for emotion expression and action unit detection in three databases, FERA, CK+ and RU-FACS; measured audience reaction to a talk given by one of the authors; and discovered synchrony for smiling in videos of parent-infant interaction. IF is free of charge for academic use at http://www.humansensing.cs.cmu.edu/intraface/.
在过去20年里,计算机视觉领域对自动面部图像分析算法的兴趣与日俱增。这是由动画、市场研究、自动驾驶、监控以及面部编辑等应用所推动的。迄今为止,针对特定面部图像分析任务,如面部表情识别、面部属性分析或面部跟踪,已有若干商业软件包。然而,尚无集所有这些功能于一体的免费且易用的软件。本文介绍了IntraFace(IF),这是一个可公开获取的软件包,用于从视频中自动进行面部特征跟踪、头部姿态估计、面部属性识别和面部表情分析。此外,IF还包含一种新开发的无监督同步检测技术,用于发现两个或多个人之间相关的面部行为,这是面部图像分析中一个相对未被充分探索的问题。在测试中,IF在FERA、CK+和RU-FACS这三个数据库的情感表达和动作单元检测方面取得了领先成果;测量了观众对其中一位作者所做演讲的反应;并在母婴互动视频中发现了微笑的同步性。IF可在http://www.humansensing.cs.cmu.edu/intraface/免费供学术使用。
