Abstract
Output can be provided from a selected biometric analysis task that is one of a plurality of biometric analysis tasks based on an image provided from an image sensor. The selected biometric analysis task can be performed in a deep neural network that includes a common feature extraction neural network, a plurality of biometric task-specific 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 outputs. Concatenated first output results can be formed and the concatenated plurality of first result outputs and the latent variables can be input to the plurality of expert pooling neural networks to determine one or more biometric analysis task outputs.
