Towards Zero-Shot Interpretable Human Recognition: A 2D-3D Registration Framework

no code implementations11 Mar 2024 Henrique Jesus, Hugo Proença

However, three weaknesses are commonly reported for such kind of approaches: 1) their extreme demands in terms of learning data; 2) the difficulties in generalising between different domains; and 3) the lack of interpretability/explainability, with biometrics being of particular interest, as it is important to provide evidence able to be used for forensics/legal purposes (e. g., in courts).
