Thermal Face
Thermal face analysis focuses on extracting information from infrared images of faces, aiming to understand physiological states and improve applications like telemedicine and security. Current research emphasizes developing robust deep learning models, including convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and generative adversarial networks (GANs), for tasks such as mask detection, facial feature segmentation, and image super-resolution to enhance low-quality thermal data. The availability of larger, more comprehensively annotated datasets, such as the Charlotte-ThermalFace dataset, is crucial for advancing these methods and enabling more accurate and reliable analysis. This field holds significant potential for advancements in healthcare monitoring, security systems, and human-computer interaction.
