A Fast Implementation of DPM-Based Facial Landmark Localization

Abstract:

Face detection, pose estimation and facial landmark localization are three fundamental problems in pattern recognition. These three tasks have high request of algorithm efficiency and accuracy. Zhu and Ramanan proposed a model based on mixture of tree structures to solve the three tasks simultaneously and it obtains state-of-the-art result. However, the efficiency of their algorithm is relatively low. Our improved algorithm combines Viola Jones detector and tree-structured model and achieves a speed-up of tens of times even hundreds of times of original algorithm on ordinary laptop according to images of different sizes.
