InfAnFace: Bridging the infant-adult domain gap in facial landmark estimation in the wild
We lay the groundwork for research in the algorithmic comprehension of infant faces, in anticipation of applications from healthcare to psychology, especially in the early prediction of developmental disorders. Specifically, we introduce the first-ever dataset of infant faces annotated with facial landmark coordinates and pose attributes, demonstrate the inadequacies of existing facial landmark estimation algorithms in the infant domain, and train new state-of-the-art models that significantly improve upon those algorithms using domain adaptation techniques. We touch on the closely related task of facial detection for infants, and also on a challenging case study of infrared baby monitor images gathered by our lab as part of in-field research into the aforementioned developmental issues.

Automatic Assessment of Infant Face and Upper-Body Symmetry as Early Signs of Torticollis
We apply computer vision pose estimation techniques developed expressly for the data-scarce infant domain to the study of torticollis, a common condition in infants for which early identification and treatment is critica…
Pose EstimationAuE-IPA: An AU Engagement Based Infant Pain Assessment Method
Recent studies have found that pain in infancy has a significant impact on infant development, including psychological problems, possible brain injury, and pain sensitivity in adulthood. However, due to the lack of speci…
BabyFlow: 3D modeling of realistic and expressive infant faces
Early detection of developmental disorders can be aided by analyzing infant craniofacial morphology, but modeling infant faces is challenging due to limited data and frequent spontaneous expressions. We introduce BabyFlo…

Vocal responses from caregivers are believed to promote more frequent and more advanced infant vocalizations. However, studies that examine this relationship typically do not account for the fact that infant and adult vo…
Rewiring Development in Brain Segmentation: Leveraging Adult Brain Priors for Enhancing Infant MRI Segmentation
Accurate segmentation of infant brain MRI is critical for studying early neurodevelopment and diagnosing neurological disorders. Yet, it remains a fundamental challenge due to continuously evolving anatomy of the subject…
