The identification and tracking of livestock using artificial intelligence technology have been a research hotspot in recent years. Automatic individual recognition is the key to realizing intelligent feeding. Although RFID can achieve identification tasks, it is expensive and easily fails. In this article, a pig face recognition model that cascades a pig face detection network and a pig face recognition network is proposed. First, the pig face detection network is utilized to crop the pig face images from videos and eliminate the complex background of the pig shed. Second, batch normalization, dropout, skip connection, and residual modules are exploited to design a pig face recognition network for individual identification. Finally, the cascaded network model based on the pig face detection and recognition network is deployed on a GPU server, and an application is developed to automatically recognize individual pigs. Additionally, class activation maps generated by grad-CAM are used to analyze the performance of features of pig faces learned by the model. Under free and unconstrained conditions, 46 pigs are selected to make a positive pig face dataset, original multiangle pig face dataset and enhanced multiangle pig face dataset to verify the pig face recognition cascaded model. The proposed cascaded model reaches accuracies of 99.38%, 98.96%, and 97.66% on the three datasets, which are higher than those of other pig face recognition models. The results of this study improved the recognition performance of pig faces under multiangle and multi-environment conditions. Keywords: CNN, Deep learning, Pig face detection, Pig face recognition.

Structured Sparse Learning

Some regions (or blocks) and their affiliated features of face images are normally of more importance for face recognition. However, the variety of feature contributions, which exerts different saliency on recognition, is usually ignored. This paper proposes a new sparse facial feature description model based on salience evaluation of regions and features, which not only considers the contributions of different face regions, but also distinguishes that of different features in the same region. Specifically, the structured sparse learning scheme is employed as the salience evaluation method to encourage sparsity at both the group and individual levels for balancing regions and features. Therefore, the new facial feature description model is obtained by combining the salience evaluation method with region-based features. Experimental results show that the proposed model achieves better performance with much lower feature dimensionality.

This paper presents a novel Gabor phase based illumination invariant extraction method aiming at eliminating the effect of varying illumination on face recognition. Firstly, It normalizes varying illumination on face images, which can reduce the effect of varying illumination to some extent. Secondly, a set of 2D real Gabor wavelet with different directions is used for image transformation, and multiple Gabor coefficients are combined into one whole in considering spectrum and phase. Lastly, the illumination invariant is obtained by extracting the phase feature from the combined coefficients. Experimental results on the Yale B and the CMU PIE face database show that our method obtained a significant improvement over other related methods for face recognition under large illumination variation condition.

The Difference

A rapid and objective assessment of the severity of facial paralysis allows rehabilitation physicians to choose the optimal rehabilitation treatment regimen for their patients. In this study, patients with facial paralysis were enrolled as study objects, and the eye aspect ratio (EAR) index was proposed for the eye region. The correlation between EAR and the facial nerve grading system 2.0 (FNGS 2.0) score was analyzed to verify the ability of EAR to enhance FNGS 2.0 for the rapid and objective assessment of the severity of the facial paralysis. Firstly, in order to accurately calculate the EAR, we constructed a landmark detection model based on the face images of facial paralysis patients (FP-FLDM). Evaluation results showed that the error rate of facial feature point detection in patients with facial paralysis of FP-FLDM is 17.1%, which was significantly superior to the landmark detection model based on normal face images (NF-FLDM). Secondly, in this study, the Fréchet distance was used to calculate the difference in bilateral EAR of facial paralysis patients and to verify the correlation between this difference and the corresponding FNGS 2.0 score. The results showed that the higher the FNGS 2.0 score , the greater the difference in bilateral EAR. The correlation coefficient between the bilateral EAR difference and the corresponding FNGS 2.0 score was 0.9673, indicating a high correlation. Finally, through a 10-fold crossvalidation, we can know that the accuracy of scoring the eyes of patients with facial paralysis using EAR was 85.7%, which can be used to enhance the objective and rapid assessment of the severity of facial paralysis by FNGS 2.0.
