Face alignment by robust discriminative Hough voting

作者:

Highlights:

• Extending the range of traditional CLM framework by including the nonparametric (exemplar-based) shape models.

• Incorporating the prior knowledge of very few anchor points into the task of face alignment, while being robust against localization errors of anchor points.

• Exploiting the power of discriminative learning under the generative exemplar-based CLM.

• Promising results on four challenging databases, i.e., LFW, LFPW, HELEN and IBUG.

• Exploring the deep CNN technique in the RANSAC step to further boost the performance of the proposed system.
