Embodiments provide a process to identify one or more areas containing a hand or hands of one or more subjects in an image. The detection process can start with coarsely locating one or more segments in the image that contain portions of the hand(s) of the subject(s) in the image using a coarse CNN. The detection process can then combine these segments to obtain the one or more areas capturing the hand(s) of the subject(s) in the image. The combined area(s) can then be fed to a grid-based deep neural network finely detect area(s) in the image that contain only the hand(s) of the subject(s) captured.

Coarse-to-fine hand detection method using deep neural network

The present invention provides a face recognition method and device. The method includes: performing down-sampling of different sizes on an original face image; performing block partition processing on a down-sampled image and the original face image; extracting feature of each image block; performing similarity matching between the extracted feature of each image block and features of image blocks corresponding to a pre-registered face image to obtain a similarity of each image block; and obtaining a face image recognition result according to an obtained similarity between all the image blocks. According to the face recognition method and device, down-sampling of different sizes is performed on an original face image, which increases a capability of face image features to describe the face image; a face image recognition result is obtained according to a similarity between all the obtained image blocks, which increases an accuracy of face image recognition.
