Abstract

Facial feature detection offers a wide range of applications, e.g. in facial image processing, human computer interaction, consumer electronics, and the entertainment industry. These applications impose two antagonistic key requirements: high processing speed and high detection accuracy. We address both by expanding upon the recently proposed explicit shape regression [1] to (a) allow usage and mixture of different feature channels, and (b) include head pose information to improve detection performance in non-cooperative environments. Using the publicly available 'wild' datasets LFW [10] and AFLW [11], we show that using these extensions outperforms the baseline (up to 10% gain in accuracy at 8% IOD) as well as other state-of-the-art methods.
