Deep-structured-facial-landmark-detection

This is the official implementation for the paper "Deep structured prediction for facial landmark detection"

Requirement

python 3.7 tensorflow 1.15 numpy scipy

Pretrained models

• Model for 300wtrain protocol
• Model for 300wlptrain protocol

Data for evaluation

Link to data folder Download this folder to replace the data folder in the repository (since some of the files are too large to be included in the repository). Note the images used are the original images provided in the official websites listed below without any preprocessing (preprocessing such as croping and resizing is done in the evaluation code).

Note: the image paths and ground truth labels are stored in the .mat and the .tfrecords file. You don't need .mat files to run the code. The .mat files are only a direct guidance of how to store the images.

Acknowledgement

• The CNN backbone uses FAN. Our CNN backbone is a direct tensorflow reimplementation of the provided pytorch code.
• The 3D model construction uses non-rigid structure from motion and CE-CLM.
• The 300wlptrain protocol uses 300W-LP for pre-training.
