Abstract
Light field cameras are able to capture the intensity of light rays coming from multiple directions, thus representing the visual scene from multiple viewpoints. This paper exploits the rich spatio-angular information available in light field images for facial emotion recognition. In this context, a new deep network is proposed that first extracts spatial features using a VGG16 convolutional neural network. Then, a Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (Bi-LSTM) recurrent neural network is used to learn spatio-angular features from viewpoint feature sequences, exploring both forward and backward angular relationships. Additionally, an attention mechanism allows our model to selectively focus on the most important spatio-angular features, thus enabling a more effective learning outcome. Finally, a fusion scheme is adopted to obtain the emotion recognition classification results. Comprehensive experiments have been conducted on the IST-EURECOM Light Field Face database using two challenging evaluation protocols, showing the superiority of our method over the state-of-the-art.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
