    This study introduces a novel two-stage regression network for robust facial landmark detection, improving accuracy under challenging conditions like pose and occlusion variations.

    Area of Science:

    • Computer Vision
    • Machine Learning
    • Artificial Intelligence

    Background:

    • Facial landmark detection is crucial for analyzing facial images.
    • Existing methods struggle with variations in pose, expression, and occlusion.
    • Accurate localization of facial keypoints remains a significant challenge.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop a robust two-stage regression network for facial landmark detection in unconstrained environments.
    • To improve the accuracy and reliability of facial keypoint localization.
    • To address challenges posed by pose variations, facial expressions, and occlusions.

    Main Methods:

    • A Structural Hourglass Network (SHN) generates initial landmark heatmaps using an improved Inception-ResNet unit.
    • A Global Constraint Network (GCN) refines landmark locations via offset estimation and spatial context.
