Abstract

Prediction of gesture and demographic information from the face is complex and challenging, particularly for the masked face. This paper proposes a deep learning-based integrated approach to predict emotion and demographic information for unmasked and masked faces, consisting of four sub-tasks: masked face detection, masked face inpainting, emotion, age, and gender prediction. The masked face detector module provides a binary decision on whether the face mask is available or not by applying pre-trained MobileNetV3. We use the inpainting module based on U-Net embedding with ImageNet weights to remove the face mask and restore the face. We use the convolutional neural networks to predict emotion (e.g., happy, angry). Besides, VGGFace-based transfer learning has been used to predict demographic information (e.g., age, gender). Extensive experiments on five publicly available datasets: AffectNet, UTKFace, FER-2013, CelebA, and MAFA, show the effectiveness of our proposed method to predict emotion and demographic identification through masked face reconstruction.
