Abstract
A selected biometric analysis task is performed in a deep neural network that includes a common feature extraction neural network, a plurality of task-specific neural networks, a segmentation neural network, a landmark mesh neural network, a plurality of soft target segmentation neural networks, and a plurality of expert pooling neural networks that perform the plurality of biometric analysis tasks by inputting the image to the common feature extraction network to determine latent variables. The latent variables can be input to the plurality of biometric task-specific neural networks to determine a plurality of first biometric analysis task outputs. The latent variables can be input to a landmark mesh neural network to determine a landmark mesh. The landmark mesh and the first biometric task outputs to a plurality of expert pooling neural networks to determine a plurality of second biometric task outputs.
