description Abstract Automated glasses detection is a cardinal component in facial/ocular analysis that powers forensic, surveillance and biometric authentication systems. Throughout literature, glasses detection was always experimented by either utilizing hand‐crafted or deep learning features. Nevertheless, in both cases, highly standard face/ocular images were needed to derive the suggested technique. Both working methods performed reasonably well, but the results were bonded to the quality of the facial image and extracted features, where a slight shift and/or rotation in the input face image negatively affects the results. In addition, the obtained performance is even worse on real‐world (non‐standard) images, especially when compared to recent achievements in other computer vision research areas. In this paper, we present a robust deep learning approach for glasses detection from selfie photos full/partial frontal body non‐standard images captured in real‐life uncontrolled environments that do not utilize any facial landmarks. To the best of our knowledge this paper is the first to experiment detecting glasses from selfie photos, using a robust deep learning approach. Experimental results on various benchmark facial analysis datasets demonstrated the superior performance of the proposed technique with 96% accuracy.
