Facial Landmarks Detection using a Cascade of Recombinator Networks

Nowadays, Convolutional Neural Nets (CNNs) have become the reference technology for many computer vision problems, including facial landmarks detection. Although CNNs are very robust, they still lack accuracy because they cannot enforce the estimated …

A Deeply-initialized Coarse-to-fine Ensemble of Regression Trees for Face Alignment

In this paper we present DCFE, a real-time facial landmark regression method based on a coarse-to-fine Ensemble of Regression Trees (ERT). We use a simple Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) to generate probability maps of landmarks location. These …

Benchmarking Head Pose Estimation In-the-Wild

Head pose estimation systems have quickly evolved from simple classifiers estimating a few yaw angles, to the most recent regression approaches that provide precise 3D face orientations in images acquired “in-the-wild”. Accurate evaluation of these …

Head-Pose Estimation In-the-Wild Using a Random Forest

Human head-pose estimation has attracted a lot of interest because it is the first step of most face analysis tasks. However, many of the existing approaches address this problem in laboratory conditions. In this paper, we present a real-time …
