In this work, a new multitask convolutional neural network (CNN) is proposed aiming for the recognition of face under pose variations. Furthermore, the combination of pose estimation for each corresponding pose in a separate fashion allows robust face recognition in presence of various facial expressions as well as low illuminations. First, a CNN model for pose estimation is proposed. The pose estimation model is trained using a self-collected dataset built from three popular datasets including FLW, CEP, and CASIA-WebFace using three categories of face image capture such as Left side, Frontal and right side. Experimental evaluation has been conducted using two datasets: Pointing'04 and Schneiderman. Results reveal the robustness of the proposed pose estimation model. Moreover, the proposed face pose estimation is applied on three datasets to widen the dataset and make it bigger for training and testing deep learning models.
