Title
BoxFlow: Unsupervised Face Detector Adaptation from Images to Videos
Abstract
Face detectors are usually trained on static images but deployed in the wild such as surveillance videos. Due to the domain shift between images and videos, directly applying the image-based face detectors onto videos usually gives unsatisfactory performance. In this paper, we introduce the BoxFlow - a new unsupervised detector adaptation method that can effectively adapt a face detector pre-trained on static images to videos. BoxFlow unsupervisedly adapts face detectors through fully exploiting the motion contexts across video frames. In particular, BoxFlow introduces three novel components: (1) generalized heat map representation of face locations with augmented shape flexibility; (2) motion based temporal contextual regularization among adjacent frames for unsupervised face detection refinement; (3) a self-paced learning strategy that adapts face detectors from easy data samples to challenging ones progressively. With these key components, we develop a systematic unsupervised face detector adaptation framework to help face detectors adapt to various deployed environments. Extensive experiments on the IDA dataset clearly demonstrate the superiority of our proposed method. Without utilizing any annotation, the BoxFlow achieves about 10%-20% performance gain in terms of Average Precision than directly applying image-based face detectors.
