Abstract
The subject matter described herein relates to face alignment via shape regression. A method, computer storage medium, and system are provided. In one embodiment, the method comprises receiving an image including a face; and performing shape regression to estimate a facial shape in the image. For each stage in the shape regression, a local feature is extracted from a local region around each facial landmark in the image independently; and a joint projection is performed based on local features of multiple facial landmarks to predict a facial shape increment. Then, a facial shape of a current stage is generated based on the predicted facial shape increment and a facial shape of a previous stage.
