MULTI-POSE FACE FEATURE POINT DETECTION METHOD BASED ON CASCADE REGRESSION
First Claim
1. A multi-pose face feature point detection method based on cascade regression, comprising the following steps of:
- (1) extracting pose index features and establishing corresponding optimal weak regressors;
using a clustering algorithm to cluster face feature points to acquire feature point categories with adjacent positions;
extracting pose index features under corresponding poses according to the feature point categories; and
inputting the pose index features into a cascade regression algorithm, and training the pose index features to acquire the corresponding optimal weak regressors under different face poses; and
(2) performing initialization and detection on face feature points under multi-pose changes;
performing corresponding initialization according to different face pose orientations;
using an SIFT feature of a face image as an input feature for face orientation estimation;
acquiring an orientation of an input face image according to a random forest face orientation decision tree;
using a feature point mean value of a face training sample under the orientation as an initial value of the input face image feature point; and
extracting the pose index feature of the face image and inputting the pose index feature into the optimal weak regressor to acquire a distribution residual to update the current feature point distribution, and complete the face feature point detection.

Abstract
A multi-pose face feature point detection method based on cascade regression comprises: extracting a pose index features and establishing corresponding optimal weak regressors; performing corresponding initialization according to different face pose orientations; using an SIFT feature of a face image as an input feature for face orientation estimation; acquiring an orientation of an input face image according to a random forest face orientation decision tree; using a feature point mean value of a face training sample under the orientation as an initial value of the input face image feature point; and extracting the pose index feature of the face image and inputting the pose index feature into the optimal weak regressor to acquire a distribution residual to update the current feature point distribution, and complete the face feature point detection. The method can achieve a stable face feature point detection effect, and is suitable for various intelligent systems such as a face detection and recognition system, a human-computer interaction system, an expression recognition system, a driver fatigue detection system, and a gaze tracking system.
