Facial Feature Point Localization

Many facial analysis approaches rely on robust and accurate automatic facial landmarking to function correctly. We have developed a statistical method for automatic facial landmark localization. Our landmarking relies on a parsimonious mixture model of Gabor wavelet features, computed in coarse-to-fine fashion and complemented with a shape prior. Here you can download the dataset protocols, we have used for our 2D landmark localization tests in the following paper:
