EFFICIENT FACIAL LANDMARK TRACKING USING ONLINE SHAPE REGRESSION METHOD
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for detection of facial landmark points, the method comprising:
- detecting a facial image in a first video frame using a face classifier;
normalizing the detected facial image by applying a first transform to the detected facial image;
detecting a set of facial landmark points of the normalized facial image using a trained shape regressor;
computing a set of final facial landmark points in the first video frame by applying a second transform to the facial landmark points, the second transform an inverse transform of the first transform.
