A complementary regression network for accurate face alignment

作者:

Highlights:

• We propose CRN that combines global and local regression networks for face alignment.

• CRN converts GRN's coordinates to LRN's heatmap, vice versa, to get landmark points.

• CRN works complementarily that GRN and LRN compensate their demerits each other.

• We conducted several experiments on 300-W public/private dataset Menpo dataset.

• We achieved 3.14%, 3.74%, 2% SOTA face alignment accuracy in terms of PNME.
