Abstract

Described is a technology in which face alignment data is obtained by processing an image using a component-based discriminative search algorithm. For each facial component, the search is guided by an associated directional classifier that determines how to move the facial component (if at all) to achieve better alignment relative to its corresponding facial component in the image. Also described is training of the classifiers.
