FaceMesh EdgeTPU

Introduction

This repo reproduce the result from mediapipe FaceMesh on Raspberry pi or other platform with Coral EdgeTPU. The model first performs face detection and then align the face. The aligned faces are fed into mesh generator for face landmark detection.

• add head pose estimation
• add kalman filter

Demo
