Abstract
A single network encodes and decodes an image captured using a camera on a device. The single network detects if a face is in the image. If a face is detected in the image, the single network determines properties of the face in the image and outputs the properties along with the face detection output. Properties of the face may be determined by sharing the task for face detection. Properties of the face that are output along with the face detection output include the location of the face, the pose of the face, and/or the distance of the face from the camera.
