Face Detection and Segmentation Based on Improved Mask R-CNN by Kaihan Lin, Huimin Zhao, Jujian Lv, Canyao Li, Xiaoyong Liu, Rongjun Chen, Ruoyan Zhao

“…To overcome this drawback, we present a face detection and segmentation method based on improved Mask R-CNN, named G-Mask, which incorporates face detection and segmentation into one framework aiming to obtain more fine-grained information of face. Specifically, in this proposed method, ResNet-101 is utilized to extract features, RPN is used to generate RoIs, and RoIAlign faithfully preserves the exact spatial locations to generate binary mask through Fully Convolution Network (FCN). …”
