Recurrent Convolutional Face Alignment
2017Mainstream direction in face alignment is now dominated by cascaded regression methods. These methods start from an image with an initial shape and build a set of shape increments by computing features with respect to the current shape estimate. These shape increments move the initial shape to the desired location.

Face Alignment With Deep Regression
IEEE Transactions on Neural Networks and Learning Systems, 2018In this paper, we present a deep regression approach for face alignment. The deep regressor is a neural network that consists of a global layer and multistage local layers. The global layer estimates the initial face shape from the whole image, while the following local layers iteratively update the shape with local image observations.

Joint Face Alignment and 3D Face Reconstruction
2016We present an approach to simultaneously solve the two problems of face alignment and 3D face reconstruction from an input 2D face image of arbitrary poses and expressions. The proposed method iteratively and alternately applies two sets of cascaded regressors, one for updating 2D landmarks and the other for updating reconstructed pose-expression ...

Face alignment robust to occlusion
Face and Gesture 2011, 2011In this paper we present an approach to robustly align facial features to a face image even when the face is partially occluded. Previous methods are vulnerable to partial occlusion of the face, since it is assumed, explicitly or implicitly, that there is no significant occlusion.

Joint Face Detection and Initialization for Face Alignment
2016This paper presents a joint face detection and initialization method for cascaded face alignment. Unlike existing methods which consider face detection and initialization as separate steps, we concurrently obtain a bounding box and initial facial landmarks (i.e. shape) in one step, yielding better accuracy and efficiency.

Face alignment recurrent network
Pattern Recognition, 2018Abstract This paper presents a new facial landmark detection method for images and videos under uncontrolled conditions, based on a proposed Face Alignment Recurrent Network (FARN). The network works in recurrent fashion and is end-to-end trained to help avoid over-strong early stage regressors and over-weak later stage regressors as in many existing

Face alignment by Explicit Shape Regression
2012 IEEE Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition, 2012We present a very efficient, highly accurate, "Explicit Shape Regression" approach for face alignment. Unlike previous regression-based approaches, we directly learn a vectorial regression function to infer the whole facial shape (a set of facial landmarks) from the image and explicitly minimize the alignment errors over the training data. The inherent

In order to interpret images of faces (e.g., for recognition), it is important to have a model of the different ways that a face may appear. Though faces vary widely, changes can be broken down into two categories—changes in shape and changes in the texture (patterns of pixel values) across the face—that are largely due to differences between ...

Joint face alignment with a generic deformable face model
CVPR 2011, 2011As having multiple images of an object is practically convenient nowadays, to jointly align them is important for subsequent studies and a wide range of applications. In this paper, we propose a model-based approach to jointly align a batch of images of a face undergoing a variety of geometric and appearance variations.

Audiovisual Alignment in a Face-to-Face Conversation Translation Framework
2009Recent improvements in audiovisual alignment for a translating videophone are presented. A method for audiovisual alignment in the target language is proposed and the process of audiovisual speech synthesis is described. The proposed method has been evaluated in the VideoTRAN translating videophone environment, where an H.323 software client ...
