Abstract

A computing system includes a processing system with at least one processing unit. The processing system is configured to execute a face alignment method upon receiving image data with a facial image. The processing system is configured to apply a neural network to the facial image. The neural network is configured to provide a final estimate of parameter data for the facial image based on the image data and an initial estimate of the parameter data. The neural network includes at least one visualization layer, which is configured to generate a feature map based on a current estimate of the parameter data. The parameter data includes head pose data and face shape data.
