Abstract
Techniques are provided for neural network based, human attribute recognition, guided by anatomical key-points and statistic correlation models. Attributes include characteristics that can be visibly identified or inferred from an image, such as gender, hairstyle, clothing style, etc. A methodology implementing the techniques according to an embodiment includes applying an attribute feature extraction (AFE) convolutional neural network (CNN) to an image of a human to generate attribute feature maps based on the image. The method further includes applying a key-point guided proposal (KPG) CNN to the image of the human to generate proposed hierarchical regions of the image based on associated anatomical key-points. The method further includes generating recognition probabilities for the human attributes using a CNN combination layer that incorporates the attribute feature maps, the proposed hierarchical regions, and statistical correlation models (SCMs) which provide correlations between the features of the attribute feature maps and the proposed hierarchical regions.
