We propose a datadriven face analysis approach that is not only capable of extracting features relevant to a given face analysis task, but is also robust with regard to face location ch...

Large-scale variations still pose a challenge in unconstrained face detection. To the best of our knowledge, no current face detection algorithm can detect a face as large as 800 × 800 pixels while simultaneously detecting another one as small as 8 × 8 pixels within a single image with equally high accuracy. We propose a two-stage cascaded face detection framework, Multi-Path Region-based Convo...
