FacialSCDnet: A deep learning approach for the estimation of subject-to-camera distance in facial photographs

作者:

Highlights:

• Accurate estimation of subject-to-camera distance in portrait photographs.

• A novel metric is proposed, based on the effects of perspective in facial distortion.

• A new database of facial images at a distance is introduced for human identification.

• A transfer learning approach overcomes the limitations of current methods.

• Robust to expression, occlusion and pose without requiring anatomical information.
