Simultaneous Facial Landmark Detection, Pose and Deformation Estimation under Facial Occlusion
Facial landmark detection, head pose estimation, and facial deformation
analysis are typical facial behavior analysis tasks in computer vision. The
existing methods usually perform each task independently and sequentially,
ignoring their interactions. To tackle this problem, we propose a unified
framework for simultaneous facial landmark detection, head pose estimation, and
facial deformation analysis, and the proposed model is robust to facial
occlusion. Following a cascade procedure augmented with model-based head pose
estimation, we iteratively update the facial landmark locations, facial
occlusion, head pose and facial de- formation until convergence. The
experimental results on benchmark databases demonstrate the effectiveness of
the proposed method for simultaneous facial landmark detection, head pose and
facial deformation estimation, even if the images are under facial occlusion.Comment: International Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition,
